I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Seems like a cool idea. Wonder how it will fly?

High Point MX National > outlaw quads.

I'm not sure if I'm going to Buffalo or not. I'd like to see how that layout works, though.

Cool idea, like the ultimate streetcar challenge. I'm just not sure how many cars on the road are well-rounded enough to do all of those things decent. For instance, the Miata would suck at the sound-off and drag and show part but would kick ass at the drift and autox parts (with a tire changout between obviously). I think what'll happen is most cars will be good at one or two categories and scrape by in the others. But I guess we'll see.

That's what I think is going to happen. A fast decent looking car that does average in almost all parts will win.

we went out to the right coast cars syracuse sport compact show last year and it seemed pretty biased... perhaps it was just that show though, who knows.

it seemed as though "friends" one all of the trophies, in a few different categories we noticed this:

Car A would have more mods, with more work, etc.

Car B would have less mods, or the work done to it would be of poor quality.

Car B gets the trophy.


but like i said, maybe it was just like that for that show.

I see.

I'm trying to go. I think it'd be interesting to check out. I just have to get alot of stuff done in order to buy the time, though.
