It's a little disheartening to not have gotten anything at this IFO but there's always next time. StayCrushing was kind of a shoe in for best Scion, I talked with him and he said that the event promoters invited him out to the show. I was a little bitter about not getting at least second but after having a good nap I pretty much should have seen this coming. The import scene is still heavily influenced by the "stance" scene, and in that vein, low and slow will typically trump anything remotely built for actual use. Not to say its a bad thing but these stance clubs have kinda screwed up how these shows work. All the Instagram/Facebook nonsense and appealing to the 18-20 year old crowd is how you get to win.
I am going to start working on some "advertising" for my car and build that isn't strictly limited to this forum. After chatting with StayCrushing, I have a better idea of how to go about getting better exposure for my car. StayCrushing is actually a pretty cool guy, he's been in the scene for about 5 years and basically called in a bunch of favors to get his car where it is now. It also helps that he's based out of LA, I mean living in the center of Cali car culture has its perks.
