New wheels and a car show story!

So yesterday just happened to be a local car show.

(Maritime modified and yes I live in canada)

Me driving my little old accent decided why not go put er in and see if anyone laughs or id it gets any lookers. Well....

Over the course of two hours I got quite a few "best looking accent I've seen" some "wow its clean" many "nice wheels" (plasti dipped rota grids by yours truly) but that wasn't it. The event coordinator (owns a r33 twin turboed skyline :eek:) came over and shook my hand and said "you got balls bringing a crooked H let alone a accent to a show like this".

So I looked around and I saw maybe one genesis in the corner (eh) and two elantras (stock advertisement from the dealer). EVERYTHING ELSE WAS JDM! Maybe 5 VW's everything else said JDM. Hondas, acuras and nissans all JDM.

Now I would love to own a JDM vehicle (love too actually) don't get me wrong but why do people insist on they are instantly amazing even tho it could be a ratty old civic who someone slapped a fart can on and is now considered more desired then a genesis turbo..

But anyways, back to the story. They started announcing fastest car, best stance, best rwd, best fwd, best awd yadidadadadadad.... finally they came to the third last award. It was the award for most unlikely car there at the show.....

I won..

I laughed and was embarrassed everyone looked at me I went on stage and they gave me a couple stickers from their garage and a gift card for $100 to their shop. Minutes later people where like "what do you drive??" or "you're the owner of the accent?" and stuff. Someone also said "Hyundai sucks!".

Moral of the story... life surprises you.
