These days there's anything but a shortage of car shows. In such a heavily saturated market, it seems like you can attend one of many import-related events that cater to all tastes on any given day of the week. Unfortunately more often than not, many of these dates end up being more or less the same old shit at another venue. So how do you make humdrum shows exciting again? I'll tell you. You drop another car show with live performances, girls, awards and vendors smack-dab in the middle of one of the largest spring break destinations. Voil! Utter import madness drenched in breasts, booze and binging. Of course, we would never approve of such blasphemy-that is, if it weren't so goddamn crazy. We were slapped with a penance of sun, sea and sick rides by day, before being blessed with breasts, booze and more breasts by night. It seems there is life beyond the same ole shit after all. The following collage is an excerpt of the few shots we managed to take in focus and is compiled for your entertainment. Enjoy!
