Procours D'Coolness (an alternative to Concours)

["Walter" <Whalt@xxxx>]

This is NOT about Concours.

I think that there are enough people out there who want to put their
Delorean in a contest, but the Concours is not appropriate.

So how about we start a second contest to see who has the coolest car?
Instead of penalizing someone for upgrading and modifying/improving, let's
have a contest that specifically rewards for this sort of behavior.

The highest score would go to the Delorean with best fixes for known weak
spots and factory defects. Extra credit would go for fitting in new engines
and transmissions depending on if weight distributions and safety are not
compromised. Standard extra points would be awarded for heavy duty window
motors, cross-drilled brake rotors, lowered suspension, stainless steel
braided clutch line, etc. More extra credit would be given for technology
improvements such as convex passenger side mirror, electro-chromatic
rear-view mirror, alarm system, etc.

For example, a 140 amp police alternator would get more points than a 105
amp Motorola. But it would loose points if the mounting modifications
looked sloppy.

With the exception of upsetting the concours museum lovers, I think such a
competition is what everyone else is itching for. By the way -- you would
loose points for bringing your car in on a trailer! It must be driven to
the show! How about it?
