| Last Saturday I decided to finally go see what these things are all about. I have to admit it was a little less flashy than what I was expecting... I think my expectations came from seeing SEMA shows and the like on TV. There were certainly a lot of cars with a lot of mods, but apparently the people arranging the show expected more lighting mods than there were, 'cause that place was DARK. Some of the cars required a flashlight to see! This is why some of the photos are a bit grainy - I really had to do some processing on a bunch of them to see them well at all. Anyway, it was quite a collection, from tasteful to beyond tasteless. I present the following selection and my personal awards: Most Heinous Paint Color:
 Most Boring Engine Bay:
 Most Variety of Graphics (flame job's real nice, though):
 Most Unusual Hood Design:
 Most Useless Wheel Design (brake cooling is for sissies!):
 Most Spatula-Like (did this guy install his body kit inside the place?):
 Most Green:
 Sleekest Car There:
 Most Reprezentin' Person There:
 Nicest 240SX:
 That one was built by a shop in Baltimore that works on Zs and SXes. I'd give the girls some awards, too, but I don't want my post nuked. ;-) Oh, and Sam, when is your Jeep going to look like this?:
 My whole collection of photos can be seen on my site.
