Default Look what I won!
Meant to post this a couple of weeks ago...but you know how time can get away.......Won 1st place, in my class, at the Touch of Glass Corvette Show in Longview, TX this afternoon PLUS won 3rd place in BEST OF SHOW (out of 75 cars)...with the trophy I won $250! WOW...Never won anything in the "Best of Show" catagory!! I guess I am now a "professional" (ha ha)

Very clean car! I like your armrest, I haven't seen one embroidered before. Is that custom?

I also like the steering wheel. If I remember correctly, they won't work with tilt/tele.

Congrats on the win!

Easy to see why you were recognized. Nicely detailed and presented. Always good to see C3 cars still bringing home the bacon.

Congrats!
