Default Nice surprise today

Went to a Corvette show today, 90 Vettes showed up all years.

Was happy when I won First in my class but then was more happy when I won Best Engine over all and happiest when I ended up wining Best in Show!

Didn't your mother ever tell you that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? But since this is the Internet, all standards of conduct don't apply, right?

Are you kidding me?? Just because you can't afford a new Corvette doesn't give you the right to be an a$$..

Congrats! I can't think of many better ways to spend a weekend with other like minded enthusiasts. To top it off your efforts on your car were recognized by your peers as Best in Show! Way to go!

Hard to believe that any true car enthusiast, whether they are modders, customizers, trackers, or hackers would not recognize and appreciate what you experienced this weekend especially 10 year forum members. Snotty Haters go on my ignore list-Hope you ignore them as well and continue to smile over the next several weeks/months and enjoy the accomplishment! BTW-the car looks fantastic! Love to see some engine shots! Interior shots as well!

Thank you everyone! Best of Show as most "intelligent" people know is the ultimate prize.
