I 100% agree with you!!! Its hella stupid how the rules kept changing and changing. I am personally not going to vote on any car at the meet cus this has gotten out of hand in how they are running it.
....Well to some of us just that alone can make you the best. "The best car" can mean a lot of things to different people. Not everyone likes extensive mods.. The most simplistic things in this world may be the very best to some.
Just thought I'd add my .02 in all of this. You can choose to agree or disagree but this is how I call it. It seems like this whole car show thing has taken a turn mainly because there are some who are changing the rules in the middle of the competition.
These were the rules that were stated from the beginning of the competition.
Nowhere does it state that the car needs to have extensive modifications such as engine mods. It states that as long as you have a subaru, nominated, and able to attend, then you're pretty much in. If so and so likes your car, then YOU'RE IN. I've been following this thread and it seems like this car show is no longer for i-clubbers. If this event is for us i-clubbers, then why is it when we choose to nominate someone, that nomination gets taken away from us? It seems like the main people are calling all the shots and changing up all the rules and it's not becoming fair.
I don't feel that this is an excuse...
I completely understand where you're coming from brucelee, it's just I feel that even if you're not able to come up with that many prizes, it doesn't really matter all that much, although it would be a nice additive. I think the fact that i-clubbers are being recognized for their car and all the dedication and hard work they put into their car is all some of us are after. Prizes aren't everything and I know it's a car show and yeah you should be able to get prizes, but if I was to try and enter this thing, I feel I'm doing it solely because I love my car and I just want others to see all the possibilities one can obtain with one's car if they just put their mind to it. Because of this car show thing, many i-clubbers are being recognized and to me, I think that just the fact that everyone is able to see the creativity everyone has put into their cars is rewarding in itself.
For example, no one liked xhengmanx's red mud flaps when he first got them, mainly because it was different. After more and more people started to see his car grow, more and more people began to like it. THAT is the point I'm trying to get at. One would criticize a person for being different but once everyone is exposed to it more, the more people begin to appreciate what's different. Now a lot of people are growing fond of the red mud flaps. This is only aesthetics too (not engine mods). Having this car show nomination helped him show everyone his work of art. And that in itself has become an inspiration for some to step outside the box and become creative themselves. That's what I feel is the true meaning of having this car show.
I'm not trying to step on anyone's territory, I just wanted to let everyone know and hope that they understand that this is all some of us really want.

i dont think any rules have changed whatsoever.
this is voting system is based on "the people of i-club" where the people rule
although i dont agree with the 'fairness' of what brucelee has stated, but that statement was just an opinion. in no way do i see a change of rules at all lol.
if you like creativity, so be it. if you are digging the exterior, great, if you appreciate the effort they put into the motor, cool, if you are looking for a well-balanced car, go for it. you know? its just a simple fun and opinion-oriented system.
no one is forcing anyone to vote for a certain category, lets have some fun and have an awesome meet! i see it more as an annual meet' than a 'car show'
just my 2 pennies..

I like Rays idea of having a top 3 or 5, where you have a vendor pick, member pick and ladies pick. Prizes don't have to be extensive, just having your car part of the show can be gratifying to some.
The way I see it is we take all the nominated cars, make another thread, make a poll and narrow it down to the top 5 or 3 whatever then reveal the results at BAM.

he is trying to finish up his car...
and +1 on oh4panda, as of now...I saw couple changes, although, not officially.
I think the awards for BAM...Can probably try this way.
- Best Subaru of the show
**any impreza, forester, legacy, B9, or SVX if you have them
- Best Appearance
**this might end up with different groups, best impreza, best legacy and etc.
- The Most Aggressive (can't think of a name for this)
**rating on their mods by the vendor?? but no shop car.
- The Best girl's ride
**for female subaru owner only, I think this will be cool.
reminder - this is only a personal suggestion, BAM do no hold any responsibly and it had no effect to any BAM related event. (just in case)

what about an open poll box at the meet? if you are interested in entering your car, you get like a number/sticker to put on your car to identify your car...if someone wants to vote for your car, they put your number/whatever on a piece of paper and then tally them up?
