What I did to my interior was strickly for shows.
Okay, in strictly that context I can see where you'd want a car to be "flashy" or whatever it takes to make it stand out. On the other hand...

The more TV's, the more points you get
... is pretty sad. Sounds like these judges are more concerned with "gadget count" than the balance of accessories vs. overkill. If I were a judge, and I was looking at two IDENTICALLY set up cars, except one car had a single monitor for each of the expected 4 occupants in a car vs. 8 monitors for those same 4 occupants in the other car, I'd count against the second car for "overkill" (only word I can think of to descibe it as I write this). Any accessory can be overdone. Chrome trim for example. A little looks goods, but start putting it everwhere and, well...

Surely you could add another 3 or 4 TV screens, no? How about one on the outside of the back door for people driving behind you to watch? Gucci door panels?! Why not paint TOMMY GEAR on your tires? That'd be real squeakin'!

Is this an example of the scorecard...

Loud Stereo = 10 points (add 5 points if the stereo has lots of flashing lights)
Lowering Springs = 10 points (add 5 points if the vehicle is so low that it can't be driven on the public streets)
TV/Monitor = 10 points (add 5 points for every additional TV/Monitor & add 5 more points for every TV/Monitor that can't be viewed by someone in the car while it is in use)
Wing = 10 points (add 5 points for every foot in height that the wing rises above the rear deck lid)
etc., etc....

This is interesting.

Are you trying to say his age is somehow related to deterministic / quantifiable measures? After all how is one of those constests measured if not in a completeley objective manner. (i.e. if you get more points for extra TV's that is a purely contest derived measure. It is certainly not ergonomics or anything that the individual in pusuit of a purely spartan vehicle would be after.)

Jim Banville

I think that Jim Banville is an idiot and a arrogant bigot to boot. having said that I am not a fan of gaudy 'show cars' or anthing in the fast and furious scene because of the obvious tacky 'taste'. those babes are fairly bootyliscious no doubt and the ml does have some high points. the stereo rig in the back kills the storage but thats de rigeur in the audio scene. let's just agree that taste is subjective and let everyone be indivualists in their choices. if you must say something dont make it scatological or hateful ok.
