A couple thoughts about this car:
1) Might be one of the worst looking tCs I've ever seen. Can't say for sure it is the ugliest, but it is a contender.
2) Why do people think that b/c they have a "show car" or have put thousands into a car that they should get all of those thousands back when selling it? Sure, the asking price is probably still way less than what went into it... but really, who's going to pay $27k for a god-awful looking tC that they can't actually drive and has zero practicality?
Maybe I'd buy it if I had an extra $27k.... so I could put it out of its misery.

It is ugly, but obviously someone liked it for him to have all those trophies. $27k is a ridiculous amount for that car. No one in their right mind will buy that for three (if not more) reasons:
1. It's probably dogged the eff out.
2. It's hideous
3. Who buys a completely modded out car anyway?? Isn't the point of modding a car so you can customize it the way you want it, and not the way someone else wants it? That's lame.
If I were a judge at a show with that car I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face talking to the guy that brought it. I can admire quality work, but it just looks AWFUL (no other way to say it) and would not win a single thing from me.

But since you're there because you're judging on quality of work, you'd be the worst judge ever? You're not judging on your personal taste - hence, all the trophies. nothing is flawed in that judging - the judges did a great job for awarding him all of those trophies. Just because you don't like his style doesn't mean he didn't deserve those.
That's not a style, that's awful. I would have no problems not awarding that car a single thing - worst judge ever or not. Giving a car like that trophies only encourages more people to think it's cool. It is not. At all. In any way.
