Default Another Win! WTF!

Not complaining, but won a 3rd place at a local show yesterday run by the local Mustang Association. There was a decent amount of vette's there. I dont go to these shows to win anything, but to hang out with other people that share my car passions! I guess being **** about my car helps!

Congrats.

Don't cut yourself short. You obviously know how to prepare your car. Looks very clean, the way it should for this type of "shine and show."

Congrats! I'm looking forward to the day when my car is finally ready for entry into shows. I'm probably just as **** as you are so hopefully someday I'll be able to show off a few trophies of my own.

Congrats! Your car looks great and very clean. Only mods I can see is the exhaust and wheels.

Proof again that you don't have to spend $1K on SS covers from Ecklers to win a car show!

Congrats on the award! I think most of us are more into the fun of the shows not the hardware. However... it sure is nice to get it!
