Oh, I am sure, but they are not going from New Jersey to Nashville.
I am a funny person. Winning trophies at a show, means nothing to
me. (I have 3 - Two first place & one 2nd place). I don't need the
nod of the head from others to fully enjoy what I own. If a judge
walked up to my car and called it a POS, it would not bother me. If
I won a huige Best of Show trophy, I'd like it, be sure of that, but
it would not endear my car to me anymore than right now, without a
Best Of Show trophy! Just how I am.
