Default my first trophy

I went to the Gratiot cruise today and when it was over I went to Dooleys for the car show. It was packed from all the extra cars from the cruise showing up. I was having a bad day and was going to leave the car show, but my Dad bought me a couple beers and burgers. I'm glad I stuck around because a car show judge was walking around and asked me if that vette was mine. I said yes and he asked if I registered and I said no. He said well you better go register because your going to get a trophy....I know its no big trophy or anything, but It felt great getting one especially because of all the nice rides there..
