Board looks good. You take your shows very seriously. Too serious for me. I just like hangin out havin a good time. I don't care if I win. Trophies mean nothing. Having a good time, helping people with their cars, showin off to kids and gettin them excited is what makes shows the best.

BIG ditto there. I like looking @ them because there have been more times than I can remember that I just didn't notice something, saw it on the board, and made me go back around the car again just to find things I missed that I went "wow" at.

Sully: 6 Firsts, 5 Seconds (two when he was black), and one Third place so far. I've only been to one show where he didn't place and that was because there was only one award per class. The car that won had more HP than me....o.O

Kornholio: I really don't take them all that "seriously" in a sense that I'm hardcore intense the entire show. I like to kick back and relax as well. Whats great to me is showing off my own personal work and design during the show. Trophies aren't everything but during a judged show its an awesome feeling knowing your work takes the cake. Granted most of the shows I go to, aren't tuner shows, and I'm in classes with custom rods, muscle cars, and all sorts of amazing vehicles from the 70s and before. So taking second place to a 1940s Willys Coupe and beating out a custom Chevy Nova in a judged show kicks ass to me.

I love shows I meet alot of new people and have a great time (usually with my mom who comes along with me or my friends). I'm not as intense as I may come off I can assure you.

01rtgurl: exactly!!!

Your eye doesn't know where to go first or what path to even follow. Honestly if I was walking by the car, I'd check out everything around your car but the board. It just seems like it'd be an eyestrain.

I had something similar typed up, but Opi beat me to it.

WTG Opi. You do good work. Crystal, your second poster was too long, I didn't want to read it. Now I'm just trying to get out of this thread.

But yeah, I really like Opi's.
