Harlan Charles and Steve Grilli went around looking at the cars and talking to the owners.They picked ours after talking to Diane who happened to be out standing by our car smoking a cigarette. She told them that we drive our cars on our vacations and we had just driven out from Nebraska. She told them about our vacation trips to Hiway One in California every year and out to the Outer Banks and many places in between. They liked her stories and told her they could tell we enjoyed our cars and we deserved an award.

Cool story and congrats. In addition to the judging criteria listed, those chrome wheels had to seal the deal on getting a balloon tied to your mirror.

About time there's awards for people who actually use these cars, not just who can keep theirs the cleanest.
