Default EXPO 05 vs 06

Now this is just my personal opinion but this years Expo was just awful. I felt like the drive up to H town was a waste of time. Other then the prizes and the ride I felt like it was a big let down this year.

I think that this years was a little better, or at least it had the potential to be. I believe the rain in the early part might have thrown a lot of the planning off a bit. It was definitly nice having the indoor area and the cruise was cool. Last year it was just way too long and way to hot and not enough to keep people entertained. This year it seemed that there was always something to do.

This year was pretty good although the weather was really crappy.. I think not having any trash cans out in the parking lot was a lil let down and also no ____ers...I know that when drinking beer in a parking lot it sucks not to have a place to ____ or throw your cans away...Other than those small things and the ____ty weather it was pretty damn good...

I think threads like this are what keeps the drama going in the lonestar forum.

I was wondering why they didnt do the wild and mild catagories? Or is that just a Dallas thing?

Well last year they did the awards by cities, but i liked the way they did it this year by car types...I think that having multiple judges going around to the cars then average the scores was a fair and efficient way of judging...Not becuase i got first place, but becuase that way its not as bias...They did a great job this year and i cant wait for next years...Thanks to MIkOnE for busting your ___ again...I think we should give him an award for all the ____ hes done for scion owners.... . Thanks and DEUCE

Well it just kinda seems like when you throw all of the cars, per model, into one category that you limit who actually has a chance to be unique or stand out. To me it just pretty much instantly reduces your chance to zero if you dont have a turbo/supercharger, bodykit, graphics, or a 50 inch plasma/insane audio in your car, and while these things usually look bad ___ its not neccessarily everyones style. But lets face it, those are usually gonna win. So needless to say i was a little dissapointed that there was no mild class. Not everyone can afford all the best things.

Dont take this the wrong way, i really did have fun and appreciate the effort put in to make this event happen. Just something i was thinking about and i felt i should throw it out here to see if im crazy.
