The thing that was so funny was we won a trophy for each of our daily drivers!!!! We went to a car show today to represent the A's. Thursday night we went to our local cruz in (1st time) not only did we represent but were the only mopars there!?!
Anyway the show today had all the fancy stuff too but I liked the Valiant Signet, the Lt blue swinger, the 64 Polara (NICE), GTX, and our 2 little Darts.
We stayed for the whole show. We usually leave early because we never expect to win anything, just like beeing there to take my mind off of my problems and look at Mopars. My wife has seen me sweatin her 67 to keep it running, as some of you fine members know due to helping me so much. Well, I was standing off to the side when trophies were handing out. (Top 50) I coul;d see car numbers on the cards before they were announcing, (I was kind of in the back due to our cars) I could see my wifes car number next and I turned with a big eyed dumb look on my face just in time for them to call her name! She lit up like a Christmas tree and started going back around the croud (I told you we didn't think we would win) ballin her eyes out!:crybaby: When she went up, she couldn't even utter thanks, she just cryed and grinned. She looked down at the next card about the same time as me and saw the next winner was me... Is there a tissue in the House?
I went up and said thanks for us both and they asked what was wrong. I told them nothing and she was just overwelmed. She went back over to the cars and I went back over to my place untill the other 4 awards were given out. (We were just about the last) When I sat down the lady next to me was still laughing at us. One of the party she was with asked why my wife was crying. I told her that we weren't people who ever win things or have things go our way, and that there has been bad times. She had seen me work so hard on her car just to keep it going (Can't afford to pay someone else to screw it up)that she felt I deserved to have recognition/verifacation of efforts. Another guy with the party said why would she ever cry over a trophy? Whatever..... I slinked out of the conversation to go back to the cars and the wife. I never knew she cared so much for our cars, she named her 67 Veronica! Jezz............ Just don't touch her car!
I suggested I could lay down her gas pump trophy she won today on her package tray and velcro it down.... I think she was picturing it last time I saw her when she left in her 67 and her cheap sun glasses to go to walmart!
Car porn from today....
