Driven Calgary

[rage2]

Didn’t take too many pics because I was with the kids. I like widebody Supras.









So Scare

Did you bring ear plugs for your kids? Holy crap it was loud in there.

[mr2mike]

Didn't even know this was happening.
Guess not having social media, doesn't help.

That Blue Supra was built in Edmonton at a shop called Mercari Auto by a bunch of young 20-25 yr old asian kids who own the place. He sold it to McLaren in Vancouver a few months ago and someone has bought it from them since. Nice kids, I know them well and they do some work for me regularly. The kid now got a 720S after trading his Supra and AMG GT he had as a new project. Seem to be doing well which is awesome.

Took my 2.5 year old to the show.
He had a good time! Definitely stressful ensuring he didn't touch anything... Busted some serious moves by the breakout competition as well.

A friend walked around and roasted a bunch of cars on his Instagram and I really enjoyed that. Didn’t feel bad missing it for a track day.

2 of my buddies won best of show for their rides. One of them a lowrider and the other a wide body skyline GTR. They deserved those wins for sure, alot of time and money into them both.

Your friend sounds like a loser.

I at least hope his entry was better.

I mean the show organizers should vet cars better so people aren’t paying $25 to see a Dodge Dart with stickers, steel wheels and winter tires. Yeah it’s petty but some of the filler they put into the show is truly bad.

90% of the spectators dont give a shit.

Does Driven even get enough interest to be able to be picky these days?

[ExtraSlow]

How many beyonders even knew about it, or would have gone if they did? A pretty small fraction of guess.

[TomcoPDR]

Are import models not a thing anymore?

My thoughts as well. My guess is the organizers aren’t tasteless idiots; it comes down to lowering standards, or having a big venue with 17 cars in it cause no one else could make the cut. Based on the last time I was there, they took a similar approach with the “models”.
