Super Import Nights

Went to take a look at the exhibition at Singapore Expo on Sunday.

Things I liked:

• Really nice airbrush paint jobs
• The really ah beng zhng-ing of the cars
• The unfunctional modifications like the plexi-glass bonnet
• Furry dashboards and sports rims
• Cao ah beng blue neon and strobe lights
• A complete home entertainment system built into the back of a MPV, got XBox some more
• American Import Models showed us what is real event models.
• 2 vendors brought in Hummer for show.

Disappointed at:

• There wasn’t a lot of anything. Not a lot of cars, not a lot of zhng-ed cars. Not a lot of vendors. Not a lot of special cars.
• Lack of innovation in the zhngs
• Nothing near the innovation as seen on Pimp My Ride
• The mountains of restrictions that prevented the zhng team to come up with more over-the-top creations.

Some funny observations:

• People were really there to see the American Import Models, and there were a lot of chee ko peks, young and old also have.
• The men flock to the models like Flies to rubbish bees to honey.
• The emcee referred to all the men with cameras as “professional photographers”… Yeah, right.
• The local event models are always the same ol’ same ol, and not very pretty…
• Put the “foreign talent” and our “local pride” and you will see that we are still eons away.

Oh yah, photos I took from the event are here.
