Default Good Guys FTW!!!

So this is how my day started at this year's Good Guys Fall Get Together in Pleasanton yesterday:



As I was contemplating packing up and leaving, a couple of dudes are scoping my car....one with a camera and one with a clipboard. They approach me and ask if this was my car. I said yes, they say it is very nice and tastefully done, etc. And wanted to know if I was interested in sticking around long enough to accept an award for Nicest Late Model. Um.....HELL YEAH!!!! lol.

So they take some info and tell me to drive over to the winner's circle and wait for the parade:





And after all was said and done, I was handed this:



All in all, a pretty good day......

Thanks for taking a look,

Rich

They are a good bunch of guys, I didn't win an award but they put my car in their magazine a couple of years ago.
