Car shows are beauty pageants for cars.

Beauty pageants are competitions thus making them a sport.

I figured as soon as Guy suggested beauty pageants were a sport because they involved competition that he was just trollin. So I brought Boxxy out from the way back machine.

Maybe, maybe no. You're the one who brought out the definition of sport. Beauty pageant would fit that bill.

holy shit.... All i have to say is damn... iDied! haha

those that do not like my type of styling on my cars, it's not a big deal. everyone has different taste. if we all built cars the same way, it would be pretty boring.

I personally have done work on some other stylings as well. for example a 715hp Mercedes C63 AMG widebody which was recently featured on PAS magazine. Or a 800HP Toyota Supra which won Castrol's top challenge.

like they say, "to each their own"

but for those who tells me that putting small tires and wide wheels and being "hellaflush" is only for looks; i've helped build a 1993 Lexus GS300 with a 2JZ-GTE, single turbo, Turbonetics GTK-650, all custom work done on 21x10 (F) 21x13 (R) on -13 degrees camber with over 600 to the wheels And we take it out to Irwindale speedway, Willow Springs, etc.

also built a 2000 Lexus GS300 with a 2JZ-GTE VVT-i also with a single turbo and amenities on 21x11 (f) 21x14 (r) doing roughly 750hp that we've tracked and enjoyed.

different strokes for different folks. just because my car is 1" off the ground doesnt mean i'm driving 5mph. you guys can ask Shaolin Crane, i've sparked my car on the freeway doing 100mph plus.

i buy cars to drive and not baby.

here some youtube for you folks.
