Default 1st car show for me and my car today.

Today I took my son Jacob with me to the Centerline Lions car show sponsored by USMA and many local businesses. It was nice seeing a lot of old friends.

We ended hanging out with my friends Wayne and Cindy who own a 70 Duster. Yes, I was sitting with them by the Duster. Wayne used to drag race with us many years ago at Detroit Dragway and it was really nice reminising about all the fun we had.

When it came time for the awards they had them classified by year or type of car. When it got to the 60's cars, they did awards by every two years. So I am figuring by the time they get to 72 I might have a chance of getting something. But...when they finished the 60's they announced that the next group of awards was for 70-75. What ? I have no chance, Waynes car is pretty cool, and there were many nice cars out there in those years. So as we are listening to them call out the awards, we hear them call Wayne's name, which I knew they would. And a lot of other nice cars as well. Jacob was standing there getting more bummed and more bummed, he really wanted a trophy. Then out of no where...they called my name and car as Best in Show. WHAT ?? Are you kidding me ? Jacob was so thrilled he ran up and got the trophy. The dang thing is almost as tall as he is. It just barely fit in the backseat of my car.

When we got home David said what the heck are we going to do with this thing. Well Jacob volunteered to clean a spot in his room, and that is where it sits right now. Nice first outing.

Believe me I would have had many, many pictures. But my expensive Cannon camera took a crap and it is on it's way back to Cannon for "service". I have to dig up my old camera, and take a pic of the trophy with Jacob and my car.
