Message I'm far from an expert at this issue but have been around enough people that entered their cars with a genuine shot of getting good scores only to be handed something similar to you. In one case, a judge marked this one individual down a few points because the bolt heads for the fenders were not all aligned the same way. These bolts were untouched since the factory first installed them on the car, and the judge is taking points off because they were not all aligned. How silly/petty is that?

Others will argue that it's a very political system and I am not in a position to take sides. I will say that on the outside, it has a lot of appearances to support that arguement. In the end, you're better off not trying to make sense of it. If it makes you feel better, it does sound as though the scores/comments were intended for a different car, but there's hardly any chance of getting that straightened out now.

I suggest you do what I do and that is to enter your car in the show so you can get a good parking spot and leave it at that. Let the judges score your car if you want, but don't put any credibility behind it.

This car is probably owned by a snowboarder.
