    I see people like that all the time. Whining and complaining all the while overlooking their taped on body kit or wavy paint.

    I've only had one show where I truly didn't understand why I lost. I've lost a ton of times, but only one time did I really not agree with it. I got over it and have won at much bigger shows so..... to that one show then, eh?.

    I understand what you're saying though. I hate sore loosers.

    One thing thought: What's the deal with show's that use judges that seem to know about cars as much as my wife does??????

    Don't know how to answer that without offending you.. Does your wife knows about cars? Or are you saying that she knows nothing?


    IE: tunerfest.. those judges should work for the NCCA... why because they sucked.

    ^^ Jamie shows with dumb ass judges ( Like yesterday at the LAMS show ) are shows that are to fuckin cheap and dont have enough care to provide good quality judges. They are just worried about ho wmuch they can pocket and dont want to pay any extra expences, but what they dont know is they loose people at the next event they do for the lack of quality judges. Like the LAMS show, I wont be back at, After a judge didnt even know a 350 next to me was a widebody ( How the fuck can you not know that if yoy are a judge ) And didnt even know what a 350z was, He thought it was some sort of "New Car" as he said to the guy with the car... I mean WTF?

    Julio- Joan knows that the car needs gas to run and that's about the extent of it. She cares nothing about cars and mods other than it's expensive. So to answer your question: When you get this blank stare from a judge when you are telling them something about your car, you know you've just talked over their head and they are trying to figure out how to get the hell out of dodge. You know what I mean?

    Brett- I go to a lot of shows. You know that. Because of what I posted earlier, I refuse to compete in just a couple of them. Once you spend your money and time only to have some high school reject that thinks the ONLY cool thing are cars that LOOK like F&F...... ..... Peace out, I aint coming back. NOT because I lost, but because I don't want to waste my time anymore.

    Yeah I dont decide not to go to a show because I lost, Just like the LAMS show yesterday, Hell I took 2nd in the civic class, But I still wont be back next year, The judges were jokes and if they didnt take it serious enough to get decent judges, then I dont take it serious to fork over $25-$30 to them next year. If I am paying that much, I expect a judge who knows something

    Good question. I wondered the same thing.
    No offence. I took that as your wife not being very knowledgeable about cars.

    In the full two years I showed Sporty Accordy, I never got a single trophy. But I didn't bitch much about it. I was disapointed, but I never said much about it. Oh well.
