I was driving to school a few days ago and caught the car show held by the College Park Tuning Club once again. It was good like last years. Here are some pictures of cars that were there. Nice weather, good times.

i'm going to own a car in that class, someday :eek:
 
A friend of mine would say, "there is some serious buckage in those cars". I presume those all belong to students? Any faculty?

Those are some smooth cars. I love the mustang. Its one car I would have over a merc.
 
Why spoil such a beautiful DB9 with such horrendous wheels?
 
...sigh...I know man, I know. He does not deserve to own that car after putting those wheels on it.
 
Didn't know they sold left hand drive Elises over there! Gorgeous machine.

Its...O.K. there a cute little car, but there no ferrari. The owner said it goes up to 175, but it takes forever to get there once you reach 130. Thats sad. Personally, Id never pay the 60k they want for one of those. Id just buy myself a covette z06 at 500Hp.


There was a red supra that dyno tested at 757HP to the wheels.
