Default Just won my first trophy....

could NOT believe it....."Best of Show". WOOOOT!!







They parked me in a row of Rustangs....it was comical...everyone was coming by and checkin out the vette and asking questions and such, but nobody was talking to the Ford guys. They were just sitting there stewing...it was awesome

Anyway, I thought it was appropriate to show a pic depicting a touch of "class" amongst an otherwise "routine row of Rustangs"....hahaha C3s are certainly "a cut above"!!

Damn that looks like the football feild from my High School. Anyway, congrats on the trophy. I'm happy that this year I should have a car to park along side all the others at the Friday nite cruise in's as opposed to out back in shame.
