And why complain about the judging. Judges give points based on their opinions on the various cars. Different judges will pick different winners. I thought the judging was really fair. Alex has been doing this show for 5 years, I would imagine he has the judging sheets pretty dialed-in to what he wants in his ideal cars, but the judges are still the ones that give points. No use complaining about it.

Do you complain to every person that says they don't like something about your car and tell them they are wrong? People may not like my car, I don't care. Its my car and I like it. I could care less what anyone else (including judges) think of it. I just go to the shows to hang out with friends and look at other nice cars.

Well put tony

First off, those that know me know I don’t sugar coat $h!t. I also don’t ever set out to offend anyone but I know that someone will be offended…so f it!!!

Fair? That word is a joke and should be removed from the English language!! Fair depends on which side of the debate you’re on and is, for the most part, used by the losing side.

Too true!
I’m sure Alex can get the number of his trophy supplier to anyone who feels that they need/deserve one.

Isn’t that what it’s all about? I’ve never gone to a show because I needed acceptance from people I barely know. I go to shows so I can display what I’ve done to my car and to see what others have done to theirs.

My trophy comment was directed at you. Just an over all comment about some attitudes expressed in this thread.
In a contest there are winners and loser…its life!

There was nothing but love at the show. It seems that most threads on this form that are about shows or judging are void of love.

Now that’s funny…and true.

I have been doing this show for 5 years as well, I might not put any input into the last 5 shows but I have been supporting Alex and Wilson at all the time, even with question "How are you, need help?"

Have I felt wrong about the judges for past 5 years? yes I have do I complain ? No I don't because It was their opinion and not mine and I RESPECT that.

Just as I said on scinergyiA forum, if you put $70.000 into mods for your car and have spent only 1hour to clean it and there is mud on your sides or your tires look dirty, do you think you deserve to win EVERY show just because you "spend money" ? Yes some cars at the show looks awesome yet if you look at the "presentation" of the car is very poor. What I am trying to say is that if you spend 10.000 on mods and clean your car very well, and also did something uniquely for the presentation part believe me you would of won any car no mater what they have.

So please guys , event's like this are ment to be for socializing, get to know each other, put faces with the usernames, and have fun. Wining something is just an extra part of the show that 3-5 people had judged jet if you haven't won anything you at least meet other people, saw cars , saw mods you might like....

Again thank you all for coming I would like all of you to look things more from socializing point rather then "whats in it for me".

Btw was I complaining because nobody said not even "Thank You" for live streaming car show "except Alex" ? NO I have not because "if i do something out of passion, i do for IT"

Bye. Btw i am the guy that had MACH 5 stupid tC

Hi!

Sorry to be absent for all the fun discussion. Back at work and jetlagged to all hell right now.

I'll post a thank you thread tonight when I can gather my thoughts and I'll post the official winners list too.

As for judging, I have full faith in my selected judges. They each know Scions extremely well and they were instructed to grade very harshly. The guidelines for judging are always made available on the website in advance of the show and were taped to the registration table as well. I do that each year to avoid confusion. Guess that failed.

I think deserving people won and I KNOW the judging was very close.

I hope that in the end everybody had fun and also has a new appreciation for how much pie they really think they can eat.

-Alex

wow the thread just fell apart and for what because some of you didnt get a trophy? i didnt even go trying to get one, i went to see old faces and meet new ones so jesus stop B*tching! not everyone is going to agree with $hit point blank, its called LIFE, you can say whatever you want about my ride because i dont care lol my car is unique and it is VERY clean so dont try to bash it on here when telling me to my face you like it, i enjoyed the show, the judges went by cleaness ( as in actually scrubbing the dirt off youre car, no dirty rims etc) but than again judging wasnt fair because it wasnt in youre favor right? please people, the show was fun, people were great and ____ was free, see the big picture and put the trophies aside for once, think about how to improve youre car for the next car show if youre that upset about it.

Ben you come to HIN in Dallas and we will come to Chicago deal? lol wed love to see you!! wait you come to Asylum too buster!
