Default My first trophy

The town I live in has a classic car show every Wed. night. It's for classic cars but every type shows up. There is a Lighting group a Ricer group, PT Cruiser group etc. There are usally a couple of hundred cars. Well about a month ago I started going I parked down the way from the Classics. Met another Vette owner we started telling other Vette guys and tonight we had five C5s and one C6 all lined up in our little area. Sorry no pics. It was so cool alot of people checkin out our s!@# including the judges. I won best in show! I get my trophy next week because they had a bunch of politicans doing photo ops tonight so presentations will be done next week. I understand I'm suppose to get my picture taken with my car and some girls too. How cool is that? I'm so stoked I'll get some pics next week for sure. Hope the Classic crowd ain't too upset. Hey but after all "Ain't these cars classic?"
