Default Won my first trophy yesterday
Zip Corvette hosted the VA Corvette Club for a small show yesterday and my car took 2nd for the C3's. While it was a small show and I hardly am interested in spending all my time chasing show trophies, it's nice to have your car recognized, and BTW, the first place C3 definitely deserved it, it was a frame off restored 69 350/350 4 spd vert. Mine is just a weekend driver in pretty nice shape.

Congrats! I know my C3 will never win a trophy but it never fails to surprise me how many people give me compliments at the gas station, at work, etc. It must be AWESOME to get a trophy on top of that!

I do have pics posted if you look at my profile, but I forgot the camera at the show so no pics from the show.

You should find out if the organizers took pictures. Besides, now I don't believe you.
