I think I might just have to, an excuse to get out of rugby, though rice is generally not to my liking there's usually a few good cars there.

My mate is there with his snooker ball blue Soarer. It's got 20's on it! His spent like 60 grand on the engine (after blowing his TT engine) Some big power figures, not totally sure of them though. Ha he has no money everything he earns goes into it, typical Croatian!

Went there yesterday.
There were some cool cars, but the majority are fairly tasteless and disappointing.
Had some good photos... but gotta get them off the camera before I can remember which were the good cars.
The stuff from FIST that I was was good of course, but there was some nice artwork and some tasteful decoration, plus of course some supercharged uzis in MX-5s... Bullet Roadsters.
Anyway, it's only $18, go.

my problem is that fuckhead like u ultimatechaos think that bas cars never get driven. mate i assure u more then 80% of the cars @ bas get driven punk. dont fucken be a hypocrit and judge it fuckheads like u that give the scence a bad name. i reakon u think bas cars r whatever because u always see their clear tail lites. get over it hey . cars r built to get driven not to put @ home maybe there not driven 7 days a week but 1 or 2 days a week .have u ever thought maybe they dont get driven is because of theft etc and you can park ur shit box anywhere without being worried it gonna be stolen ?
think before you make a comment hey .
end of rant sorry to the others but i just hate wankers who say this and that about show cars. i own a show car and i drive my car at least 3 times a week.

Its uneducated scum like you that waste space on this forum that shit me. Learn some puntuation stupid.
Lets define rice, how about cars that are too low to drive up a drive way, air brushed leather seats, 23 inch wheels, flexi-glow wrapped spark plug leads, polished diff housings, polished gearbox, air brushed under body, polished brake rotors. Should I keep going?
I'm guessing the way your dribbling, you have you car completely riced up?? In that case I'll race you any day! You in your riced up car and me on my push bike.
I'll just make sure I go over the nearest speed bump 45mins later you might catch up

Cool it guys.
In this situation I mostly share the opinion of Cool1, but then again Auto Salon is a car show, so show off yor car.
I get annoyed at the tasteless stuff... chrome everywhere, lots of flashy stuff, massive chrome mags that look dodgy, and of course so low it's not funny. What really gets to me though is that it's just for effect, a lot of the time to outdo somebody "Oh I have bigger wheels than you, I'm better than you."
I go to look at the tasteful cars... really good airsprays, balanced cars, innovative but tasteful stuff, and they are out there.
I don't like rice... peripheral stuff that's put there for effect, form over function.
MR2_guy, I hope you belong to the tasteful group, I really do.

LOL wd really i mean it
thankfully this year there didnt seem to be as much "my chromies are bigger then yours" .. there was actually some REAL (OMFG ) cars there this time.
theres NOWAY a car can be that clean and be driven as a "daily driver".
alot of the cars are "show cars" from different sponsors. they DONT get driven as daily drivers, ONLY to and from "shows". most of the lowered vehicles would of actually arrived by trailer. on my travels home tnight i came across 2 skylines i KNOW were at the autosalon ON THE BACK OF A TRAILER.
as i offered earlier come and say hello on the 5th. i have no grudge against u and your opinions. i'll be the loud one

C'mon guys who cares? My roommate's R33 (2-door) scrapes it's way over speed bumps - it's not practical but it looks sexy as all hell. The loaner R33 (4-door) i've got from my mechanic is plenty useful even though it has ridiculous 19" wheels and a wing like an F1 car that blocks rear vision. It's been cool having Autosalon here, i didn't go, but i saw a lot of schmick cars driving around today. And yes, i saw more than one "feeble" Proton or Hyundai drive past with coffee can exhaust, chromies and APEXI stickers etc... but you know they do look alright in a futuristic fiberglass kinda way. The owners of the cars obviously liked it. Some guys want to spend money on making their cars look sexy, others want to spend money on making them go fast, and still others just want to have a shopping cart that won't break down. Either way some people prefer fibreglass curvacious body kits, some people prefer giant wings, some people prefer tough kits, some people like FWD, some people like RWD... I really don't see what the big deal is. Who cares what someone else spends their money on? Just be happy for them that they have a hobby and they're doing something cool and creative that they enjoy.

Just like to point out that my mates soarer is an everyday daily driver, and it does make it up driveways etc. I'd pay the crap out of him if it was rice, we got too many NA silvias, skylines, 300ZX's running around our area dressed up like showponies as it is.

I should have made it clearer, or perhaps I should have actually said it, but it really does depend on the example, the inference I made was tasteful vs tasteless, which does depend on the example.
I'm guessing the Soarer was at Auto Salon?

I boycotted autosalon a couple of years back. my opinion is somewhere in between Johals and Cool1's. I just can't see the value in spending $20 to see cars sit there. I want to see some ACTION! That is why I just skip autosalon and wait a month for Jamboree which has the lot.

definitely each to their own. But as the owner of a "sleeper" car I think I can speak for all owners when I say that there is nothing more rewarding than pulling up next to some pretty car and chopping them badly! On top of that, sleepers don't attract attention from the police which is definitely a positive. anyway, just my opinion.
