This is just one corner of one section of one parking lot at the Perris Fairgrounds. Due to the overwhelming 700-plus vehicles at this years show, next years event will be a two-day blowout.

This orange S-10 really got our attention with the tangerine dream sequence candy paintjob, shaved everything, and body-dropped stance. The V-6 under the hood also looks suspicious. If you see this guy on the street, dont go betting your pink slip. Consider yourself warned.

Throw away your Armoral and chrome polish. Studies show that the use of strategically placed tattoos and tiny white panties can effectively shine a set of 20s better than any other method.

There were some really cool paintjobs on many of the trucks at the show, but none of them compared to the bitchin snow leopard jobbie on Starbucks Customs golf cart.

We didnt manage to catch the bands name, but hey, if they look like Korn to you, then they pretty much sounded like Korn, too.
Youd think youd...
Youd think youd stand out with a lifted Lincoln Navigator to begin with, but then this freak just had to go paint his already-conspicuous creation Bio-Hazzard Orange. Fine, we admit it: Its cool.
Its all about the B...
Its all about the Benjamins.
Millions of minis, tons of fullsizes, carbon-fiber imports swarming like bees, flames in every direction, and the sweet sound of airbags hissing and bursting under every ride: Thats just a taste of what you would have experienced had you gotten your ass to the fifth annual Forbidden Fantasy Show-N-Shine, held March 10th, 2002, at the Perris Fairgrounds in Lake Perris, California. Every year, Forbidden Fantasy puts on a show that brings in loads of cool rides including bitchin trucks, slick imports, and even the occasional lowrider.
This year, the show was completely out of control, with more than 700 vehicles in attendance and dozens of venders, including Master Image Customs, K.M.C. Wheel, and Skeptic Clothing, just to name a few. The day started off with a ridiculously long line that stretched nearly a mile along the Romana Expressway leading to the fairgrounds. The waiting snake of vehicles consisted of body-dropped minis and many shaved and winged imports. The sheer number of vehicles was mind-numbing, but the quality of the rides was enough to send any sport truck enthusiast into a full-blown seizure. The Perris Fairgrounds was packed by 10 a.m., and trucks were still impatiently pouring through the entrance gates well after lunchtime. Just around the time that the last few trucks were settling into their spots, the party was cut short and everybody was forced to leave after a fight broke out. Rumor has it that some dork was doing burnouts next to somebodys ride, and that certain somebody didnt like it too much. Fists flew. Beer was spilled. And somebody ended up calling the cops.
The Forbidden Fantasy staff quickly broke up the fight and kicked the brawlers off the property before the cops could respond, but they were already on their way. The second they saw the massive crowd still lingering, they forced the show to close early no trophies, no raffle drawing, nada. If you were there, do not freak out because Forbidden Fantasy is busy putting together another small separate event to award the trophies and honor the raffle tickets.
With so many trucks and tuners pouring through the gates this year, Forbidden Fantasy has decided to make next years event a full two-day extravaganza (the cops arent invited). To find more details on this event or to get info on upcoming shows, click onto www.for biddenfantasy.net.
