Well coming from the home of the import show (Carlisle, PA), I can definetely tell you that it is not just west coast. Its bad enough that the kids that are from Carlisle drive around in Civics and other ricer cars with loud exhausts and stupid looking stickers racing each other, but then we have to deal with a whole weekend of nothing but pimped out cars, which most turn out to be extremely ugly anyway, from people all over the US. They cause so many traffic problems, they tend to be nuisences (sp?) and they are just plain annoying. And the quality of people that come arent the best either. My ex went to the import show this past May, i think it was, and during the burn out competition apparently some girls thought it would be cute to flash the guys, make out with each other and do things to themselves that should not be seen in public. Suffice to say, im not a fan
