so this weekend i went to the Glendale Heights Fest and they had a car show Sunday morning. Mostly muscle cars but it was literally 3 mins from my house so i put my car in along with 2 of my buddies' tC's

I go ahead and register my car under the imports category and then these girls walk up to us... apparently we werent the only scions there... there was an rs1 tC and some other mostly stock cars...

they didnt register under imports but in special interests instead so the girls ask us if we can vote for their cars while they vote for us (most all car shows base their trophies on ppl's choice) mind you, this girl had a lip kit, rims, CAI, and i think an exhaust and perhaps some subwoofers

i go about my business and this "gangster" walks up to me asking me if i can vote for his tC... of course i told him that i already voted for the other girl and he starts cussing at me as to why I voted for the "b!tch" when he's got the loudest car in the place bc of his 15" sub... but thats all he had! a sub!no exterior mods, no performance mods, no rims, NOTHING else!

he talks my ear off about how bs it was that we voted for this girl... come to find out, they were in the same crew! i never heard of them before but i just thought it was freaking hilarous when he was _____ing about someone that was on his club!


i just needed goes my vent...

i hate that ****. i honestly avoid all participant vote shows or "mostly muscle" after this past saturday. sorry to hear that you had to deal with that man.

Scionarra

it was ok i guess... they had jumbo hotdogs and sellin them off as polish sausages and ppl were gettin ____ed off... haha

i got beat out by the 300zx with the custom 2 tone paint... same paint job as the widebody rx7 from tokyo drift... thats all he had tho... nothing else done... and when they announced trophies, he was at the fest so they never even gave him his throphy...

btw- i saw your car at the mall yesterday... parked by sears... there was a small little crowd gathered by it and i drove by screaming "DONT TOUCH IT!"

GQQSE13

hey coulda been worse......at those shows i get beat by the old guy with a rusted 78 mercedes convertible (delevan, morris, and one other show)

dont scream at any one looking and drive off,, they might do something to the car..

Scionarra

haha!

funny you said that bc i was just tellin merc at the last show that we went to some local charity car show and they had a 71 Austin 1300...



it wasnt even in a good condition but he kept bringing up how he had to go to europe and shop around for it... i was thinking in my head "you just wasted your time then!" hahah

el-shoe

well remember than when you go to an old school car show most likely the olds farts do the voting and they vote for car when they were in style like 100 years ago

Scionarra

does that mean you wouldve voted for it shoe? hahah

el-shoe

are you calling me ald? I cause I could be yo daddy?

Merc_tc

ya one of my guy's said the import class was kind of small this year. Thanks for that one people are alway touching the paint to see if its real. only thing is the oil from peoples hand show on the paint so i can always tell if someone touched it.

GQQSE13

Scionarra

GQQSE13

as both a hotrodder & an import driver, I see both sides.

both put a lot of work into their vehicles & both are proud of their rides. don't forget these old farts were frowned upon back in the 50's with their loud & fast modified cars. they've been there & done that. give them respect. we are not doing anything new. They did some silly mods then. I see silly mods occasionally now. I'm glad Bullwinkle wings aren't cool any more...

generally, the import guys are looked at like the musclecar guys - if someone's going to misbehave, it'll either be an import or a musclecar. I don't remember any 50's cars with booming stereos imposing their music on me...

My '56 is pretty fast. It's loud. The paint job calls attention to it. If I drive like a jagoff, people who see me will think all hot rodders drive like jagoffs.

My XA is not too fast, but it's loud & handles like a rollerskate. On the street, I drive like I represent Scions. On the track, I drive like I represent Scions.

and I do get many more compliments when I'm out in my ratty '56 than in my nice, clean XA.
Because it's unique.
Like an Austin or a 60's Porsche. When you're driving, how many Scions do you see & how many of these cars do you see that have made it 40+ years and are spotless?

They'd get my vote too

I'll still be proud of one of two Scions in the Chicago area that I've seen race!
