(June 4, 2004) — Students gathered on the field during enrichment on May 21 to gawk at a variety of cars while enjoying snow cones supplied by the classes of 2006 and 2007. According to the class of 2004 advisor Ellen Armitstead, “The event was an opportunity for students to show off a “community of fine cars [and] feel special for the day.” Tadde Vosghanian sported a matching motorcycle jacket to coordinate with his 2004 Honda Shadow Aero motorcycle. ASB advisor Kristina Provost stationed her new bike right next to Vosghanian’s—a 2003 BMW s650 GSLA. Provost had made a deal with her husband to sell her old bike in order to buy the new one. The most popular car of the show was a famous collectors’ car—the DeLorean, which stood with its gull wing doors open. The car was entered by freshman Frank Ilem, whose father purchased it in 1991. The Back to the Future car replica “[is] special because the stainless steel body requires no paint and is a lot lighter,” added senior Edik Yeganian. Freshman Gregory De Rosa fanatically claimed, “This is my favorite car and has been my favorite car since I was five years old.” He jokingly complained that Ilem would not let him cross the caution tape and sit in the car. The vehicle was designed by the same Italian designer who worked on the Lotus from James Bond films. Sophomore Alena Sarkissian and her older brother Mark drove up in their father’s 1959 Cadillac Deville, which is much like a family heirloom and will be passed down to Mark. In the next line of cars, junior Stacy Reinhart stood next to a white 1998 Camaro SS convertible, which her mother had bought only two weeks prior to the event. This particular car got a lot of attention from a few junior girls, Sheena Chun, Karina Nam, Hatty Lee and Esther Chung, who squealed with delight as they sat behind the six-speed special engine car’s steering wheel. 2003 Clark graduate Michael Marzuk brought his Mercedes 300e, an import from Germany. He purchased the car online for $3,000 from the producer of Shrek and the Prince of Egypt who was apparently “loaded.” Marzuk bragged that his stick shift five-speed ’86 classic is “the only car in America of its kind.” Marzuk revisited the campus the following Saturday to help judge auto-related senior projects. Senior Edmond Kasparian entered his senior project, a sky blue ’72 Ford Maverick, on which he spent “a bunch of stuff done to it.” Robotics advisor Chuck DeVore and sophomore Robotics team member Kevin Lee stayed off to the side on the bleachers with their robot, which won second place in the Arizona competition. There were a total of 48 automobiles and two motorcycles, six of which were BMWs. All participants paid a two-dollar registration fee to enter their cars; Armitstead and a group of students and staff were positioned at different stations to review the cars. Winning vehicles were chosen based on multiple criteria. A vendor who just relocated his import and tuning shop to Ocean View in Montrose set up a small area of sample performance parts for Japanese cars. He also displayed his white Honda, on which he spent over $10,000 to “fix up.” Freshman Kenneth Muse said he anticipates bringing his white ’64 Chevy Cheville to Clark’s third annual car show next year.
