[daonly1around]

i've been voting and i'm gonna keep voting for jason until he gets what he deserves.

 

[mx-p5]

I think it'll be a toss up between Jason Kilpa and mickeyreategui. Good lookin cars to all!!

 

[djarkitek]

if jason does'nt win this time i'll sell my car forever!!!!! ....wait...

 

[mx-p5]

You can give your consolation prize to him. How's that? LoL

 

['87 Turbo II]

I'm all for Prodigy, the mod list is so long for performance that it compares with the visual mod list of several competitors. Also: that car is inSANEly impressive oh a track.

 

[msp03.5]

Voted for kilpa almost voted for prodigy but had to give it up to kilpa. good luck this month guys!

 

[justanothermp5]

Prodigy Ftw!!!

 

[blueprotegelx]

prodigy has my vote. loving the stock look w/ the "additional" performance modifications.

 

[Prodigy]

Thanks (in advance to others) for voting + the comments!
ChaosProtege's car looks very sleek, nice work so far.


It looks like a choice between show vs go.

 

[autoxes]

I've driven Prodigy's car myself, it was when he was doing my rear MM and he kindly let me borrow it. I didn't flog on it or anything, but when you drive that thing, you can tell it's got some balls.

And my vote

 

[Velocifero]

That was hard. I really like Jason's car, but I had to go with a car I know and have helped work on. I have seen it through some crazy stuff too.

 

[CantCMe]

Prodigy has a nice sleeper there...

 

[Tom03es]

Prodigy is close for me, but gotta go with my sport auto brother Jason!

 

[noleson]

gotta vote for my GACC brother. plus it's a sweet looking sleeper. Prodigy FTW

 

[JasonKilpa]

Thanks to everyone for the votes and support everyone. A lot of good cars to choose from based on a lot of different levels. From performance, to show, and for some a little of both as well. Just goes to show how different we can all be with our builds.

 

[Prodigy's Wife]

Prodigy is AHH-mazing. The hard work and determination really pays off, so without a doubt my vote goes to him.
