Since when are you so nice, Pat!?  I thought it plain sucked; the cars 
weren't tastefully done, and the crowd was all "we don't know anything 
about our cars but we like NOS bottles."  There's nothing wrong with that 
whole Street Racer scene -- it's interesting.  But I have a hard time 
playing pretend:  If you want to join that scene, join it!  Don't just put 
a NOS bottle in your 4-cylinder automatic Cavalier and think you're going 
to win a car show!

And by the way Pat -- what part of "Import" did these people not 
understand!?  What was the deal with the 5.0 and all the Pontiacs?!  Or 
even worse (though beautiful to look at) the 1930s street rod?  There were 
a few Foci (Focus in plural), which I accept with open arms.  Though 
they're not "imports" they have become an integral part of the "Import 
Scene".  Not so the Grand Am, 1992 Mustang GT, or the numerous Cavaliers 
and Sunfires.

Leave it to Pittsburgh... :)

PS:  Being that VWs are perfect, of course, my plans of showing either of 
my cars were thwarted as the Scirocco is currently suffering from a oil 
consumption problem (i.e. uses more oil than gas), and the VR6 decided once 
again that it would rather be a 5-cylinder.  Piston envy again.
