Our factory added a car show to the Family Day this year, so I tossed my car in. I figured what a good way to get some Project: MEEP exposure than put it center stage in front of 5,000 people that would be there. A lot of people thought it was a NISSAN display car that belonged to the Motorsports Group that had a display booth there also.

They only gave trophies to the top-3 that management liked. I did get to talk to a lot of people and I couldn't see out my window because there were so many face and hand smudges on it. I think it was a hit...

The top-3 vehicles:

This QX56 was painted and rolling on 26's.

Image


This Cadillac had alligator seats. I think he was rolling on 24's.

Image


This Titan had chrome bolt-ons. I think he had 22's also.

Yeah a couple teenagers said I needed some other stuff like NOS, turbo, etc. Most really had no idea all the detail on the car. Every time I would come by the car I had 5-10 people around it pointing at different things I've done.

The adults thought it was a display car for NISMO with all the NISMO stuff I have on the car. I had a conversation with the NISMO guy there about the parts on the car because I have adapted some things from other cars to my Versa.

Now that you have been in a company show, do you think you will be entering any other types of shows.. oh yeah so which cars got the awards hopefully not those trucks they are the "ME TOO" cars nothing special I see 4-5 of those everyday, but nicely done V's are another ball game very unique..

Congrats on showing! :bigthumb:

Yes, I'll start doing some more shows next year.

The three cars / trucks I posted up were the favorite 3 picked in the show. Mine didn't get awarded anything. Most people that saw it really didn't understand what they were looking at. My car doesn't look like a hack job. All of my add-ons look factory correct, so most think it came that way. I had to explain the add-ons to many of the employees.
