Import Experience

I spent the afternoon and evening today helping a friend with judging and tabulation of results at the Import Experience car show held at Pennington Field in Bedford (or maybe it was Euless.. or Hurst?). It was a fairly large show with over 80 imports in attendance ranging from some pretty slick VW GTIs, to a brand new 2005 Lambo to various Honda and Nismo imports with completely built motors making insane amounts of horsepower. The car that won Best of Show was a Lexus IS300 with a fully built motor capable of, according to the dyno sheet son display with the car, putting down 700hp on race gas!

Since it was an outdoor show on an incredibly hot day and I was using sensitive high-tech Apple iBook computing technology, I spent most of the show working in an air-conditioned trailer. If that wasn't pleasing enough, it happened to be the same trailer that the import models and bikini and wet t-shirt contest particpants were using to change and cool off in between shifts at the autograph table. It's amazing how women that take their clothes off regularly for a livign have no problems changign right in front of you without even saying a word about it. So the gig was not without its perks besides the whole box full of Meguiar's detailing products I given for helping with the show.
