Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches E. Great Lakes Looking back at autorama....

Well first off I want to say thanks to everyone that stopped by @ autorama and said hi. I really appreciate it. The show was really cool and I met a lot of cool people. Our club display for Redline Motorsport turned out better than we thought it would, and a lot of people thought we were going to win the club display award and the $500 that comes with it, but that wasnt the case.

The judges basically bent us over on everything. We didnt get 1st in the club display, not even 2nd, not even 3rd!!!! To make it worse, Jeremy (the blue SC'd civic) lost to some dude with an auto 95 civic that was all airbrushed really funky. We were very disappointed in the judges and are trying to get seperate judges for the sport compact side of things for next year.

All in all though, it was a good experience and I know what i need to do if I wanna show my car again next year.

Ohhh, and no, I didnt get any trophies

Booooooo!
What do those mullet-wearin baastards know anyhow?

HA, I AM UP!

NV- I saw your car there and it looks great! Don't get down about not taking any hardware home, the judges all belong to the good 'ol boy club and anybody with a ride a fresh as yours ... well... they just don't get it. There's something cool about being able to go 130mph with the air on , flip a disc i the changer all while having the cruise on.... do that in your '69 Camaro!

Tim,
It was cool to see and talk to you there. Car looks so good. Boy I wish I had an SVT! But anyways, your dash kit is beyond sweet, and looks great. Sorry about no wins.

p.s. So you liked my shirt huh ? :-) "SVT Contour"

Please tell me he didnt lose to that 7th heaven c.c. civic? The one that looks like a cheaply done import with a chicano lowrider air brush job. Those judges got to go for next year. I'm not putting down his car it just is not how I would have gone about building it.

And mystic, I can do all that and exceed 130 with ease.

No flames just sticken up for my fellow f-body owners. But I do hear what your sayin.
