JDM vs. DTM Car show
Los Angeles, Ca – February 10, 2008

Mainstream Productions kicked off the SoCal show season with its
annual Chinese New year celebration in Chinatown. Since 2003 this
show has had SoCal’s finest JDM cars and best DTM cars in the show
scene face-off. This show attracts the true enthusiasts and preserves
what a car show should be about, the cars…

In the past JDM cars have always dominated this show by representing
to the fullest. For this event VERSUS’ infamous OC crew came
together to represent our community. We definitely were out numbered
being surrounded by Team Hybrid, Auto-Concept and ar-kan, but held our
own ground. To complete our VERSUS display we brought out Alicia
Whitten as our spokes-model that day. Not only were myMBonline cars
presents, but a good handful of members came out to support us and
have a good time. At the end of the day we swept all awards
for the Mercedes category.

Congrats to the following VERSUS members:

Best Mercedes DTM
Slang500

1st place Mercedes
Perzbenz

2nd place Mercedes
Blue_Monster @HMS

3rd place Mercedes
Trizzle
