Couldn't make it up this year...But i noticed in the scion class they gave the wild scion to Mikes XD, but then gave it the 4-door mild place. I wish the judging would just stick to when your classified you stay in that class. Just my opinion though!

Looking forward to some pictures! Also that girl in the pictures is pretty cute...

Personally I think it was done fair. Otherwise there would have been no Wild Scion award. None of the cars there where in wild classification.

I would rather see the best Scion at the show get wild, the 2nd best get mild. Rather than people getting classed where they shouldn't be. Just my 2 cents.

BTW It was awesome watching him drive out and all the Honda guys looking going WTF that's a Scion?!

But it's not wild. Lots of different opinions on judging thought. That's always how it is. Just getting a wild trophy for having the best I don't think should knock a car out of the running for 4dr.

I agree.. I think a car should still be able to compete in 2 door or 4 door even if you take best make/model

What i was trying to say is. If a Toyota(example) is given a wild Toyota make award. then that vehicle should be classed in the wild for that show. Not dropped down to mild and given a mild 2/4 door award. then that takes a spot away from a true mild car that should have deserved a mild 2/4/ door award. I have seen it not just in the Scion class in other classes as well. Its not fair for a mild vehicle that could have got a 5th place mild trophy. but was bumped out because a vehicle that should be in the wild class was given a 2/4 door mild spot.

Just how i see it!

The car is classed as a mild car, always has been, always will be unless Mike pulls a fast one on us. Being class mild, as every Scion was at this show the car was simply moved up to wild for a trophy to let someone else get the mild one. It was never moved down a class to get a 4dr trophy in this case. Really the NCCA let the Scion class have 2 trophy's instead of just one if they hadn't bumped someone. I really don't think it would be fair if they just left it at mild and only gave one trophy. And if someone is bumped, being a mild car, I know you would be ____ed if that knocked you out of the running for a 2/4dr trophy that your car should have won.

I agree with you cee dub - I don't think they should bump anyone unless they requested to the judges prior to being judged to be moved into a category..

in this situation like Willangford was saying, I do agree with this since all of us were placed in Mild it was nice to give a wild to 1st place Scion and 2nd place got the mild so that there was still at least 2 trophies given..

it's all about politics... not everyone at any of these shows will ever be happy.. There was a lot at this one that I didn't agree with like a H2 winning best SUV over a custome wide body FX35 with a motorswap twin turbos and custom HRE 22's and so on.... Sometimes you just got to say that's bs and move on.
