Its only a waste of time if you don't like to compete, can't take the heat, or don't have the goods.

 

[dave45090]

I like to compete, can take the heat, and have the goods, but I get 3 votes... so its not worth it.

 

[BKJT05]

I was with you until "have the goods"

Let's be honest here. Seriously jeg.

Brian has been overlooked for the MOM title for a while. I'm not sure why he's been passed over but he is truley miles above most of us.

Just my 2 pesos.

+1 his car is sick. he is the man when it comes to turbo's and desearves MOTM. i just dont like the silver tint or the wheels. otherwise his car is sick!!!

 

[sanblaster]

Enough with the bickering. Submit or get out.

Do you even know what a stock DX looks like, and how much work I've done?

No, I don't. But that's what I mean. I'm not knocking you. I'm just saying that to the untrained eye (like mine) your car looks pretty much stock.
You can't win car shows looking stock and that's what this is - a virtual car show.

Don't be defensive - I'm just pointing out to you why you might not be faring so well in a contest like this. I often suffer from the same problem - so many of my mods look OEM that the untrained observer can't distinguish what makes my car special (until it is compared directly to another of the same model).

I really didn't mean for this to be inflammatory. Sorry.

Its cool, I understand your point and I didn't mean to start s*** either, I already deleted all my other posts. I apoligize too.

 

[MazdaManiac]

Cool. I just don't know that much about the Protes and '3s.

Performance: Not really any

You really should think about cleaning your interior before posting in the MOTM. Also....what is that black baggy thing covering your middle compartment? Pleather gone wrong.

Just a thought.

BTW....I did like the picture of the bumper shot close to the grass. That was pretty cool. The outside looked clean.
