guess I will chime in for my first topic here. I always enjoy coming to the site to find out other good shows to hit up.....But damn at the negative people on the site. I have been attending this show for 3 years, way more nicer import cars than I see at alot of shows as well as trucks. I am not biased against trucks dont get me wrong, but the show has some sweet cars always

I beg to differ. I've seen many of your posts and well.... your a hater.

As for the taste thing, signing off every single one of your comments in every single post with "Later QD" is the ultimate in egocentric bad TASTE. We know who's commenting. And if your not really leaving stop saying "Later". People stopped using "Later" along with "Dude" and "For Sure" years ago.

I am a "hater" of only stupidity and morons. It seems that you've fallen into that category with your constant following me around commenting about what I do. I've evidently put you in your rightful place at some time in the past for you to harass me these days.

You really are concerned with me and how I conduct myself, aren't you? You have a thing for me? Do I turn you on with my crass humor and shit-talking expertise? Why are you so worried about what I type and how I type? I wonder how it hurts you? Lolol. You're so cute. Partial homo. Later, QD.

Just wanted to introduce myself on here, I am the promoter/owner for Southeastshowdown. Look forward to seeing a lot of you at the show again this year. And yes to the ones I know - I will hopefully attend the show, I hated not seeing everyone last year but being in the hospital after my near fatal heart attack for nearly a week was a good enough reason to miss it. Finally doing better just will be partially disabled for the rest of my life. BUT I AM THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE !!!!!!!!!



As to the show, we are glad we are able to move it to Atlanta area,the fairgrounds are real nice and huge, plenty of room. As far as rides go, well I like going to a show that caters to all walks of life. I enjoy seeing laid out trucks, 4x4s, imports, bikes and rods. So thats what we focus on. Being a promoter you have to deal with spectators opinions alot. Most spectators just come to see a certain segment of rides. So I dont like hearing that we didnt have enough of certain cars or trucks to see. Me personally, I have been building cars and trucks since I was 15 years old. Back then I was a Mustang and Camaro addict. Then I buily my first import car (300zx) and an accord. Then I started building mini trucks, which I have done 2 s-10s and 1 nissan. I now drive a G35 as my daily, but have a mini in the works and a rod(finally). No matter what we build, or how we build it, or for what purpose we built it. ....We should all have respect for one another. At age 37 now I have just as much respect for the guy that can afford only to add some wheels and a radio to the baddest cover truck or car. So I give respect to everyone in the scene. Some of you on here have probably seen some of my vehicles that I have built or in the magazines. If you have any questions, just hit me up :)

We get quite a few that can only make it to just 1 or 2 days of the show. And if you happen to miss awards, we mail those out the following week if you werent able to pick it up Sunday afternoon :)

Heres what I say. To each his own. I also have a bagged mini truck and my Talon. IMO I love to see full out show cars with wild paint, lambo doors, body kits/body work, full interior, etc. Guess that could be the mini trucker in me LOL. Truth is is half of you would love to own one like that and still go fast. That is my goal with my car. I don't consider it to be rice if it is done nicely. I consider rice to be a Pep Boys modified, big wing wearin', stickered up like a race car and can't out run a Geo Prizm POS. I don't hate on anyone that has spent hard earned money on any kind of ride to make it look GOOD and run BETTER.

Good to see you today, its been a while for sure. Regarding the decal and tag, I'd start w/ an Acro member...any chance they are pissed?! Usually the only way logos are scraped is by a former or upset club. Maybe I am wrong, just food for thought. BTW, the car still looks great!!
