I find car shows extremly boring
maybe because you only get to look at the neoned cars and suped up 17 year olds ... i guess it won't be as boring if I could drive them a bit ... the 17 year olds , a bit more

Not only that but the heart and soul of all cars are the engines....It seems that year by year its less about the engine and more about how many lcd's you have, how many amps and power you have or what kind of crazy fiberglassing and retarded plastic pieces you can somehow mould to your vehicle. Im all for shows cars but at least have some ***** in the car as well.

I have nothing against a nice system, especially since I do installs myself, but you are right, a car really doesn't need 10 lcd screens when it only has four seats. I would rather see one or two lcd's nicely intergrated into the car rather than a bunch put in for no real reason.
As for the drive train , most cars these days dont have enuff. They may have a little more juice than the stock versions. A common motor swap, nice plug wires, CAI and exhaust just doesnt cut it anymore. I know these guys/girls put a lot of time and money into their rides and I respect that, but not every car should be in a car show.
