That's a great looking car. You can really see the influence of American Muscle there...that front end screams Cuda, and the rear corner very very mustang like.

Ah, I would say, "in the beginning".
Not so much the last 20 years or so.
But when the Z, 510 and skyline came out, it was a whole new ballgame for japan.
So they went with the style of current sports and muscle cars out there.
Although they upped the game with the handling ;)
(does this mean the car is a knock off?? cause they copeid the style instead of their own R&D?? :-/)
Contest is pretty crazy.
Wonder if tis gonna get a roof rack and a sticker bombed lip ??

Hard to really compare them...thelarger Japanese cars probably handled much like the Mustangs/Camaros/Vettes of the day...none of them spectacularly, but all decent.
Now in regard to 'smaller' offerings then yes I'd agree....however there realyl wasn't much 'to compete with' in regard to the USA side at the time of these cars being made.

To be fair, it's not fatlace's fault many of their consumers lack any sort of decency or style.

Sure it is. Fatlace promotes the "dabbler" lifestyle. Is it a clothing company, car shop, shoe store, or just stickers??? Who knows.
Do you really think they didn't expect people lacking substance to buy all their products?
Either way I'm sure Mark doesn't give a fuck for selling out to these people. Fool is stacking six figures yearly.

I can see it now, hellaflush fanboy wins, decides wheel/tire fitment isn't "hellaflush enough" and that it needs more stickers, proceeds to rape gorgeous car and tries to show off his individuality. I hope whoever wins it will actually appreciate it and not try to turn it into one of these pieces of shit that get posted daily on zilvia; Don't get me wrong there is a select few on this forum that actually have good taste, but the higher probability is that some cheap fuck will get the car and destroy it. Call me a pessimist, hater, whatever the fuck new slang there is, I just have that feeling, and I hope that feeling is wrong.

If I win, I will keep it exactly as it, and use it as my sunny day car. I won't be scared of rain either. when it starts getting cold and the white stuff falls, then it will be garaged. I mean really, what needs to change on that gorgeous car? It's fucking perfect. MAYBE change the wheel color, cause I'm not a fan of black. maybe a bronze? no red or blue or lime green or shit though.
also, where does it say it's a raffle? so far, we only know it's a giveaway. Nothing says we have to buy raffle tickets...yet. Also, you don't have to be present at the car show to win, so it's free play for anyone. Maybe they will do a think where you are entered if you order/buy something?

Word! As soon as all this snow melts I will be removing my fatlace sticker from my Z. I got the sticker a few years ago when mostly RAD cars rocked the sticker. Nowadays every civic/volkswagen in my area with altezza's and cut springs sports one! And I have also even seen the sticker knocked off on a few also lol.

I would just sell it to some dipshit at the classic japanese show in LB.
One of those guys, that thinks his stock 4dr PL510 is worth 6K.

clothing stores sell shoes and stickers; all do, so nothing new here. nice looking clothes for nice cars. unlike all the midwest people that dress hoopty with fancy cars. Mark is in this for himself, as well those who enjoy it. if you can do better then by all means be about it. but what do you all expect him to do? nothing? are you ontop of his financing? sounds like umad

The real thing exist. If you went to Wekfest you would have seen it as it was the first car in the hall. It'll also be on display at Long Beach Formula Drift before we start putting it together.
As for being present, we're still talking to our lawyers about the giveaway so we're not counting out that you must be present to win. We'll let everyone know by next week. Most of you have no clue on the legality of giving away a car or a raffle in California so please google it if you want to learn something new.
About the sticker bombing and roof racks, the people made it popular. We never put mega stickers on cars unless they were our drift cars nor did we put roof racks on our cars unless it was headed for the snow or a long trip. So to think we created that hype, look somewhere else.
I've been around for a long time and have been a member of Zilvia since 2004 and the people that know us know its been a blessing to gain popularity by the masses and we do it cause we love to do what we do.
I wanted to give away a car and chose the kenmeri (it's also called a Ken&Mary, wiki it people, its based off the first commercial using a couple called ken & mary) just to giveaway a car. Details will be up next week so please be patient.

Thanks for clearing it up, but yes I have no clue on how to give a car away. Which is why I'm not doing it. I'm just saying it would have been nice for you to have all your ducks in a row before you get the hype machine going and then start editing rules and disappointing people. Even if it is a long shot of winning it. It's still kinda disappointing. I was showing this to people and hyping it up myself.

Don't give up so easily.

Ok.
No it doesn't look like they have. I see the line about having to be present or not has been removed. Let's hope all gets figured out in everyone's favor. :D

^^ damn don't know where that came from shrimp is definitely delicious. Scott wouldn't know cause he's allergic to seafood or some shit. To each his own, I suppose.

LOL wait you were there!!! I dunno I don't know what anyone looks like. But mainly it's my impression of you, doing an impression of Dave Chappelle's cribs episode. minus dinosaur eggs.

Dave Chappelle's is my hero. He hangs out at FTC Skateboarding alot with my good friend kent who owns the joint. I guess they chronic up quite a bit. I was there at wekfest from 730-1pm then 5pm-7pm. Im not a huge fan of 20k people staring at each other.
We're getting all the final details from our lawyer this Monday or Tuesday. It's taking longer than expected.

They're not giving it away because there's a lot of legal implications and problems they had in giving away a car.
Different states have different rules and fees to pay, along with selling "raffle" tickets and selling them to people across the country/world is a whole other issue.
Either way you all would be mad.

HI,
We've tried to figure out ways to do the contest but with too many restrictions and posting bonds in states like Florida and New York and limiting the event to the USA only, we're unable to move forward with the Skyline Giveway. It just isn't fair for the people around the world that wanted to be a part of this contest.
Thanks to everyone who helped us out on this giveaway and everyone who supported us on the project.

Edited. Don't want to get banned for questioning. mark's probably go more pull here.
Best of luck mark, hope you find some direction in your company.

Come by our office and we can share with you how our operation works. Selling or keeping the car doesnt necessarily mean someone is balling or not balling. It's an extra expense we dont need at the moment. There's no profit in the sale of the skyline as we're hoping it goes to a good home. Actually if it goes to someone who isnt going to cut it up is better as its an immaculate example of what a restored Kenmeri should be.
So if Florida and New York is the limiting factors, you could exclude them from the contest. Much like here in Canada, we exclude Quebec from a lot of things.
This 'fairness' Is coming off as an excuse to get some coin back once you realized you were not as 'baller' as once thought.
I mean really, you could have used this properly as a mass marketing, still excluded some of the few states that can't apply, and win big on promotional benefits, but didn't.
what is the direction of your company?
sorry for asking, I'm a Canadian that wouldn't see any benefit to begin with, but some people are probably wondering.

Some advice for the future...figure all that shit out FIRST then let the internets know about a giveaway. Doing it the way you did just makes you look bad. You live and you learn. Car still looks fresh.

Mark makes lots of money messing around with cars, clothes, stickers, etc. Who cares if loads of bandwagon kids latched on. More money in his pocket. We'd all do exactly the same in his shoes.
At the end of the day, how many of his naysayers have even a small percentage of his success? Says it all really. Mark is a businessman; why the hell would he give up a profitable business model to appease a few scene-snobs?

Thats the thing, I've met Mark before...guys one of the most down to earth guy out in the Bay Area. Guy simply does what he loves doing, drift cars. Just so happen the whole illest shit caught on and paid for him to start his own company and his lifestyle.

01-27-2012, 10:52 PM
Ive met and had a conversation with Mark before as well. Dude really is down to earth and to be honest you wouldn't be able to spot the guy out of a crowd of people, he's that unassuming and humble. He's a really nice guy who like fliprayzin said, just loves cars/the motorsport as much as we do.
Haters gonna hate, dudes living the life that we all dream about.
