I might go, but I'm at a LAN party that weekend.. AMOA was supposed to enter but nobody would organize it and make sure we would have cars able to come in.

JoshP2002
I'll probably attend, but I wont put my car in.

project.D.
I'll be there for sure, to chat it up and look around. Not signing up a car since there's no car to be signed-up.:D

mot_bot

Em1

If it is anything like last year don't waste your *&^%N time. Paid $115, Submitted my car and here is what i went through!!

Paid for power at my stall, They never had the proper forms filled out so they changed my location twice when i arrived.

Instructed me to cover up my sponser decals or pay $800 commercial fee.

Changed my catagory three times in two days, Judged my car differently for each catagory.

Gave out trophies for placing third except because they changed my car catagory three times they made up the final catagory on the last day and gave me a trophy without a placard on it. (Thanks:mad: )

Another indavidual sitting at my table never even had his catagory called at the awards cerimony. Some judges were qualified and others didn't even know what JDM conversion ment.:eek:

Allowed some drug smoking lowrider club in that spayed gasoline and oil all over the floor then had a small electical fire. Thought they were going to burn the whole place down.

If your an import and havn't had work done by Sl(E)a(Z)y Motorsports you might aswell not even go.

So have fun and enjoy NOT

Cheers

I'll check it out. I go for the swap meet, always some kind of goodies for cheap.

I have to agree with you. They aren't very organized with this aspec t of the show. I hope they get it right this year.

arabian_ryda
115+electricity to put your car in is BS. should be free or 20 bucks max.

flatboy
I've got my truck going in, Russ's d hatch and a big yellow van, along with a mini bike, bar stool and a go-kart dodge van.


see you there.

lowryder
The woman who runs that show is an IDIOT haha. I will never put my vehicles in her show again, not until they can get their bs together and start running a proper show...every year it seems the quality keeps going down hill.

When I had vehicles in there a few years back I had a guy judging my class who had his own POS in the show haha...guess who got a trophy that year?

Driven
I probably won't waste my money on powerama ever again.

rjjtchevy
going for the parts :thumbup:

EK9Hatch
I'll probably be going.

Jamie

BananaBoy

Graphicdude
Rims and Tires will be at the Audio Gone Wild show. Save your money for it, it's well worth it!

Sorry, bad spelling. What is the price of ADMISSION?

:( I was hoping to get a deal on two sets of rims and tires. From the other threads, it sounds like Audio Gone Wild is in May and I'm on vacation for the whole month.

shawley
you know what, every time there is a car show in Edmonton

someone or everyone complains about it (it's too much money, there was nothing good, it sucked, i didn't win with my car, bla bla bla)

you know what suck it up

at least we have car shows in Edmonton, and i'd rather have a shitty car show than no car show,

arabian_ryda
STFU SHAWWN!!!!:lol: :lol:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

YOU STFU!!!!!!!!:lol:

shawley
nevermind.

arabian_ryda
hahaha.

i remember hearing a story about that kid at the edmonton motor show that ran between the bentlys and started touching and hitting them kinda freaked me out cause the metal on my car is prolly a lot thinner then a bently and more pron to dents. as long as my car was in a secured area i wouldnt mind.

in the end it all comes down to who can get there car finished and has the time and effort to enter there car. 20 or 100 entry fee wont really stop a car from entering.

Shawn is right though.. Scene would be alot worste with no car shows at all..

Can't expect L.A style import shows in Edmonton, Alberta.

flatboy
I quite enjoy doing the car show thing, especially the Powerama. I force myself to get the truck ready for spring and it gets a good cleaning for the new driving season. We use to do karts back in the late 80's and it ment pretty much the same thing - deadline time.

Plus its alot different being there and hanging out with budddies, its all about the cars, hell I'll walk around the show probably 20 times over the period of the weekend, just chill'n. Seeing different people and friends all weekend. Fuck'n best times:beer:

Just wait until Northlands is completely done their renovations & additions. The car scene will explode. Word has it that the Motorshow or something will have a SEMA like aspect to it. I hope this works and maybe we can draw some big players in the manufacturing world.

Our car scene is getting bigger and better IMO. The amount of QUALITY show n shine's in the summer is fantastic. I try to attend most of them.

skyline_junkee
i agree with shawly. rather have a crap one then not see oen at all. ill be attending. cant aford to enter and i dont usualy like it when little children with there sticky little fingers touch my car....but ya will still be ufn to go :) and HELL YA CANT WAIT FOR CAR AUDIO GONE WILD!!!!! broke the bank last year on a sound system...guess i need rims and tires this year eh' LOL

kraize
ill be there... enjoying the nice cars and girls..

Cheverz
Will go might enter not sure never been? Anyone with a 80's stang wana enter? ''little battle of the 80's speel ? :D

sliptank
wait I thought UC and the West Ed. Parkade were the local car shows..


KIDDING KIDDING.

well what y'all have these days should be better than the BF Goodrich Sport Compact Nights of a few years back..

that's back when people would cream their jeans for Skylines.
and when hot orange was briefly considered a good color for show cars.

if it still hasn't hit you.. it was the days of Streetglow and NAAAAWS! oh and diamond plate floorpans that fall out at speed.

i just cleaned up my car a bunch, hopefully it dosn't rain when i drive my car in for the show.
