OK.

Car/boat/RV refis are a racket and you will end up getting boned. I'm not trying to be a killjoy but do your research without the bank's input. If it makes sense to you, by all means.

Just trying to help :/

DM, have you made any progress on your board for your cars stats... I've never done a judged show before, so I dunno what is/is not required, or what I should do about that?

I mean think about home refis. You do it because A) you get a better interest rate at the cost of a longer loan term B) You're going to lose your home and are willing to take a long-term loss to save your investment or C) You need to free up equity.

Now think about this in terms of a vehicle. The bank will tell you they get nothing out of it but how does that make sense?

I said it a month ago and I'll say it again. I'm pretty sure DM has this shoe in the bag. Last year there was only 1 Z entry and he blows that one out of the park.

Show boards aren't required but I'd recommend one. I'm going to let my (ohgodhelpme) still-girlfriend do mine for this year at least. Mostly because I bought her a really f'ing nice camera for christmas and I'll be damned if I'm not gonna get something out of it.

Other than that? Clay, wax and glaze the car prior to the show. Bring a bottle of detail spray with you to clean the wheels once you arrive if you're not using a trailer. You'll also probably want a lawn chair and a tent because you'll be sitting in the sun for 6-10 hrs while people wander by and ask questions.

Gee, thanks bud! :mad:


:bowrofl:

Would it be a hassle (helping the competition :p ) to let me see yours prior to the show to know the basic premise?

Well I came up with the numbers I did before contacting them. They came up with about the same thing. It was a little different because of hidden fees but still looked positive. I'll talk to a 3rd party to make sure I'm not getting shafted. Its not even like my payment is too much I was just simply going to do it because on paper it works out better for me. Seriously I'm glad your looking out for me. I'll look into this a bit more because I hate throwing money away especially if that's all this will do.

If you're not boosted I'd give myself a fighting chance but by no means a lock. If I had another 20k to drop on the car I could make it a ringer (I don't).

I may have jumped the gun. I forgot you had wheels and kvw's. The wing may help too.

It'll probably be one of you two tho.

I won't be boosted so you guys are safe. Probably not until June or July. I'm doing the adult thing and making other better financial decisions and putting money in places thatll suit me better down the road. Just at the expense of my project. The 21 year old in me wants to say **** adulthood and just blow all my dough on my car but I need to protect my future I suppose :?

You're not throwing away just money, time, research, labor, all of the things you've done/plan to do to your car will be tossed aside. For what? $50 lower payment, not worth it imo... :ugh2:

Just finish boosting it and you'll be so happy you won't even care about how much you pay for it. :tup:

I have more done then just those 3 things. :icon17:

Everything you both said in the last two posts is correct.

What's gonna be hilarious is if they say:

"And the winner is, the Black 370Z!!"

And we'll look at eachother like :icon08:

And bum rush the stage at the same time.
