Anyone doing Carlisle this spring? P&S and/or Import & Kit Nationals?

The APR drop from 6 years to 1-5 years is enormous. He's right.

Yes, it was. Do you know the guy? I think the only non-stock thing he had on his car was a decal on the window-thingy behind the seats on the roadster.

To be fair, my car had very little done to it at that point too. I think I had my intake on and the stereo done.

Yeah Im pretty sure.

"Fire" from here on the forum had a Red vert that was lowered with a CF lip kit. He has a almost 700hp ZL1 now. He should be coming down this year with that as well.

And honestly I wouldn't be surprised if that worked...its surprising what guys will vote for under certain conditions.lol

It may well have been a 370z.com decal. I can't remember but that feels right.


Car nerds are still nerds.

Thats ridiculous, I'd of slashed their soft top.

If you do, you can go to penfed.org (Pentagon Federal Credit Union) and get loans through them thanks to having a military member, or USAA too, for insurance/banking/loans. You'll get discounts if you do all 3 through them and their service is unmatched in my experiences.

Just a thought for some other options you might not have considered.

I sunburn like a mofo too, I have to stock up on SPF White Boy prior to the show. I'll bring a chair for your tent.

Nah, the Z votes were a ECZA thing so it was a popularity contest. It wasn't like everyone at the show got a vote.
Annoyed but not like...actually angry or anything. I had a great time.

Well that's fuckin lame. Is this show going to be the same format? If I'm going to lose to some old geezer who doesn't know shit about their car I'd like to be pre-informed so I can take a bag of sugar.

No, P&S is a judged showfield which means everyone votes. Honestly, I went to a show at linganore a month later and bribed everyone there with my drink tickets and won the import category by a landslide (have the trophy to prove it). I beat a dude with a really sick track supra and a motherf'ing lotus elise. The guy who owned the lotus was PISSED.

I got hammered and sat in the shade and made friends with random people.

I promise you it's about the ride and not the end result although you do get to complain about it afterward if you lose. It all works out.

So I should clarify this statement before people get salty. There WAS open voting for about 45 minutes but that included the 30+ Z cars that showed up and their wives/children so... yeah.

...so you're saying if I wear a bikini and lounge on my car, my odds of winning will improve?

dmhenderson

Yes. Was this a serious question?

Actually if you just stand next to it fully clothed holding a sign saying "Please vote for me", it would work.

If you're under 25, you don't know what a good car is, so you don't get to vote.

Only if you get a stool to stand on so people can see you're not jailbait.
