As essential as performance and appearance are with a street car—its comfort level, practicality, and how nice it is to be a passenger in are just as important.
We felt that the best person to judge this portion of the Import Meet Street Car Competition would be an unbiased female. We’re happy to introduce Elise Detris as the official model and ride quality judge of the IMSCC for 2013.
