So I entered 1051 in a street car competition

[turbowop]

I don't think I've ever seen a chick so excited to ride in a grocery getter... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

She looks dumb in that pic, way sexier the last pic. IMO

 

[turbowop]

Meh, I thought she looked more natural in that pic since she wasn't trying so hard to pose, LOL.

 

[blacksheep]

Her smile is like - this bearded man is holding a gun to my back. He is going to take me to his cabin and rape me. Send help please! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Lip pierced, really? How old is this girl, 20? lol.

 

[mitsuturbo]

You must really live out in the sticks, or be oblivious to the world around you if you think a pierced lip is odd in any way, or only for 20 year olds.

 

[turbowop]

Yeah, I'm not really into the lip piercings, or any other sh*t in people's faces other than ears or possibly a nose stud. With the way people put metal in their faces lately, I'm surprised that's all she had.

Quoting mitsuturbo:

Haha I'm kidding dude, I just meant I think it's more younger girls in their teens or early 20's that still have lip rings, and she looked like mid-late 20's to me. I had my lip pierced on both sides when I was younger, but took them out when I was like 20.

sh*t I am getting old aren't I...

Day two, part two story is up. click Build quality judges and even show judges were quoted saying some nice things about the car. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

 

[transparentdsm]

i like how everything rounds up at the end of day two.

 

[presterone]

He mentioned the car as a DSM. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif seriously though your car gives me a chubby and you are repping hard for us all.

 

[ApexHunter]

Damn, nice results on day 2 part 2. Generally speaking, not categories that you would necessarily expect most DSM's to do well in. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif

Are there going to be some videos of the competition or am i just missing them?

 

[turbowop]

Thanks! I was pretty happy about those results. Had I just made a clean pass in autox, the car would have placed much higher overall. I think I had fairly fast runs, but the missed gate killed me every time. Not only that, but I went the long way around said gate, effectively adding even more time to my runs. Dangit!

There will be lots if video, but it will come later since it takes so long to go through and edit. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[turbowop]

Day three results/story is up. click

Some more great pics from that day:

Damn. That is cool. Pictures of your GVR4 goin' through the cones is pretty sweet. Definitely a nice picture of it in action! Good job on getting a bit over 30mpgs! that's quite amazing

 

[the_underdog]

Can't get enough of those pics!

 

[raptorWagon]

Not enough Grocery Getting in these pics! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

 

[turbowop]

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowrofl.gif I love that pic. It's a decade old now! That's BrianAWD's exgirlfriend, Poppoff in the passenger seat was still skinny, and I had more hair and less beard. Now we're all married and domesticated. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

Thanks, Tom!

I think that's it for pics. Hopefully whatever video coverage that is still to come ends up being decent.

 

[raptorWagon]

Lol Tom? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hsugh.gif

Plus you can see how much 1051 has changed since that pic.
