I was at a car show I'm Tucson once with my old car club and someone at the show cranked on a friends manual boost controller that was mounted under the hood on his FC. He blow blew his motor from over boosting on the way home because of the adjusted controller. Some people are just morons in the worst way. Leave my stuff ALONE!!!!!

Thats interesting, I always try to stay a healthy two feet from cars until i feel comfortable with the cars owner.


I'm pretty sure you're joking lol, but it's the fact that they're tampering with something that's not theirs.

Yeah screw that. I'd dust for prints and then demand reimbursement lol. A couple turns on suspension won't really hurt anything (but still pisses me off), but if that happened to me I'd be out for blood.

Yeah, I was trying to be sarcastic, which is why I stated I try to stay a fair disstance from a car until I talk to the owner and get comfortable with them, but I would never touch anything unless they told me to. Even messing with suspension could cause some pretty bad issues (changed handling).

That sucks about the guy that blew his motor., Seems like if he could identify the person that adjusted the controller, they would be responsible and could be cited for something criminal.

It was a HUGE car show/drift event, I couldn't even ballpark how many people where there, but there were over 500 cars being shown and well into the thousands of spectators.

Im pretty sure it was also that car show where my friend won "best under construction" award for his FC Vert that was turboed, and they announced his name by first name only. He tried to get up on stage to get the throphy but someone ran up there and grabbed it, apparently they had the same name. When my friend and our group confronted the guy, he didnt even have a car in the show! And then someone in his posse proceeded to lift their shirt and they had a Desert Eagle tucked in their waistband ghetto style.

So maybe I should just list car shows in general here? Lol.

Are people allowed to open carry in AZ? Although that would be concealed carry.

That's some BS. I wonder what they would have done if you all pulled out ARs lol. And that's so gay to take an award and not even have a car in the show anyway lol. Wow.

Plan to grind that same gear tomorrow...

Desert Eagle...I bet they lament their association with gangsters and would post as such in this thread if they knew about it.

Would have been funny if the guy had an ak 47 and thuglife tattoo to go with it a la 2pac:lol:
