On friday, I washed and waxed my SVX (zymol baby, man it looked nice!). This was just for fun. Friday night, I went to Platteville, WI to visit some friends... saw Xmen2, few other things, twas fun. So saturday morning I wake up and notice there's going to be a car show in Platteville. I figured, hey, the SVX is clean, what the hell. So I go enter. I'm entered in the "IMPORT STOCK" class. I figure I'll either get 1st or 2nd, the only other cars there are a 1998 Mitsu Eclipse, 2 civics, a talon (older), and an integra.

Well. Guess what. Didn't win ANYTHING.

Let me tell you about the car that one FIRST PLACE. Black 1997 Civic DX. 17" chrome rims. Altezza tails. Aftermarket headlights. Huge stereo system. Foglights. Lowering springs.

Um. One question. How the F*CK is that stock!?!??!?!?! To me, stock means STOCK. Apart from my brake rotors, my car IS stock. Same with the eclipse (he won second, and I guess rightly so, his car looked great in silver and all).

So I told some of the people running the show his car wasn't stock earlier in the day, their response?? "Oh it's all in good fun man, he's a good guy, so we let him in that class".

WTF!??! Okay, if you're going to have a car show, and you're going to have catergories with RULES, why even BOTHER with any of that crap if you're not going to adhere to that?

In retrospect, I should have entered hte SVX in the god damn motorcycle class.
