The girls I took pics with are my friends or girls we met at the after party. The girl with the "towel" on her head is Lisa Fleming and will be launching her website soon.

And rick counters with a water holding metaphor pwn!

I travel the country and view shows from different regions and I was just being brutally honest that as a collective whole, the southeast region sucks compares to everywhere else with the North East following in close second.

I apologize for you if you were offended thinking that I somehow had to specify that I loved your car or someone you know or something. I also do not care if you like my car or not because it is my race car and I believe my car has received plenty of coverage with more to come. I'll let that speak for itself and leave the opinions I look at from those that actually hold water in my book.

Anymore East coast visits?
Don't worry you didn't miss anything as I did not bring the car out to HIN Orlando. I posted up in the Southeast region of the forum to let people know I was coming out. I should be out there in December again for HIN Miami, but I doubt the Z will be shipped that far as we have other East coast cars we can use to save on shipping costs

It may not be HIN LA, but at least our cars go fast to match the crazy styling (no bureaucratic emissions).

Yes, my comment is pretty straightforward and to the point, but it is unfortunately true. Do not get me wrong, there are some beautiful cars that I know of that did not attend the show, but I was speaking more from a collective observation. Like you stated, California show and/or go vehicles are at a total different level which is why the same cars winning 3rd place (or that do not even place) in categories out here in So Cal can take home 1st place trophies if they attend a mid-west or East coast event and vice versa.

Thanks for also knowing that I am a "nice" guy

It is true for the most part. Of course there are exceptions ( I better mention this since someone may get offended if I don't specify CLEARLY! haha). I don't understand why it is so. The only thing I can think of is because since the Cali scene pushes the envelope so much and there is so much competition, people have to stay on top of their game I guess?

Wow... someone is totally full of himself. But really, who died and blessed you with the ability to judge an entire region of the country?

I never argued the fact that California doesn't have nice cars (I used to live there), but keep in mind that this is due to the fact that there are a large number of filthy rich kids out there. Not that any of this really matters, these HIN shows are pretty much worthless anyway, as they are insanely political and the judges posess impeccably bad taste. You won't find the really fast cars there, either. Most of the cars are owned by scrubs who can't even change their own oil and drive something that looks like it crashed into a carbon fiber factory.

How am I full of myself? It is my post and I just stated an opinion, which last I checked is okay. I would say that you have some sort of problem since you were the one that seemed to take my comment PERSONALLY towards your own vehicle or your friends vehicles when I did not specifically point out any of your cars as being as you would say, "rice."

You are correct that car shows are just that, car shows! Just like anything judging will be subjective and things being political is involved in every aspect of life so that is no surprise. Only thing that you cannot contest is a timeslip lap time which is why I prefer motorsports myself.

Rich kids or not the fact of the matter is they collectively have better cars because the scene is much more competitive out here and much "faster." So based on your comments especially most being scrubs that contend in these shows, wouldn't my statement hold true then? Your thoughts seem to dance around and it seems more like you being butt hurt about me not taking a picture of your car (or friend's car) or praising it as if it was the best of show or something.

I probably should have sugar coated my initial post a bit to avoid people that cannot handle the truth, but I stand behind my statement. Like I said in previous posts, there are some beautiful cars from all over the country and there are of course some damn nice cars that are exceptions in FL as well, but collectively as a whole it is pretty scary.

So you expect me to be angry that the world famous Mr Rickdogg didn't take a pic of my car? I could really care less as I can take better pics of my own (and friends') cars with my eyes closed. I could also care less if you like my car or not, as I said before to each his own...

What I do care about is the fact that you've had your butt kissed a few too many times on these Z forums to think that your opinion matters enough to pass judgement on an entire state or region. And that being said, I called you on it. If you think you're some kind of Internet celebrity and you can say whatever you want about whoever you want, then you're wrong.

Also, you're full of it if you think Cali has faster cars based on the turnout of one rice infested HIN show. You should try visiting Sebring, Daytona, Moroso, Lakeland, Bradenton, or any of the other tracks where the "fast" cars frequent and tell me otherwise. I don't care what you say, Florida owns California in racing heritage hands down.

Besides, I know this goes back to the whole "left coast, best coast" mentality that I know EVERY native californian posesses. Arguing this point is like telling an LA resident the Lakers suck (but only on a winning season, of course).
