***just as a side note this is byfar the worst HIN show or show for that matter that I have ever been to. There where only 200 or so cars there (for a HIN show!!!!!), and after the awards and everything, over half the contestants said they would never come to another NCCA event again. I personally don't blame them. The car that won best Toyota was the (get this) 2001 purple/blue celica (with butterfly decals stuffed all over it). Man where people ticked. I really don't think she should have one. I thought the Red 01 Celica would take it. He had everything from carbon fiber dress up in the engine to exterior and interior mods. This girl only had stock paint, suspention, interior. Like I said the decals all over the car, a body kit, and a little 1X1 fiberglass piece in the hatch with two subs in it. rolleyes.gif If anything she should have been last. I don't mind loosing but come on let the better car beat me at least.

Ok....I'm done

Its funny you mention an unexpected car winning. A lot of people were upset in the area over a recent show here. Those shows are all politics and no one seems to understand that. Its all about who you know! Thats why when I go to shows I usually ask not to be judged unless i was one of 3 toyotas there. I dont need a trophy anyways - what would i do with it? It would just collect dust in my room. I think I would only care about trophies if I had a shop like you do celicagurl or if i rolled with a team.

Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City
