I got 1st place!
« on: November 13, 2005 - 04:22:34 PM »
I took my car down to a local cruise night last night. It was absolutely packed with a following of all the heavy hitters there; GM, Ford, Chrysler, and street rods. The local Mopar club was there which allowed me to meet a few of them. They were really impressed with the car which made me happy. It really is starting to grow on me. At the end of the night, awards were given out. There is only one award given out to eaach decade; 40's, 50's, 60's, etc. I was floored when my name was called! The judges chose my car over some very nice GTO's, 442's, Corvette's etc. My jaw dropped and my kids and I just stared at each other. That's a really hard show to win anything because they always draw about 200 cars or more. I just thought I'd share that with you guys. I'm still in shock.

Thanks guys! Those of you that have gotten to know me in this short time know that I am a hard core Chevy fan. I have have owned some very nice muscle cars in my past. Last night a guy offered to trade me a 69 RS/SS Camaro in Daytona Yellow (a very desirable car) plus some cash. I actually heard myself say "no". Then in disbelief, I turned to my son and asked what he thought, he also said to stick with my car. I'm not saying I don't like Chevy's anymore, but I am kind of enjoying this car right now. Did I sound like I meant that?!

Congratulations!  I know that was fun.  I went to a cruise in today and received a top 25 plaque.  The hilarious thing was that there were only about 15 cars there---LOL.  Oh well that's just my luck. I hung out with Rev & Red at a couple of car shows this weekend. We had a ball.  Rev & Red won a " Fab Top Five" plaque.  N-E-Ways...fun was had by all and that's what it's all about...........Oldschool
