So believe it or not, my job has a car show every year. Participants range from your everyday run of the mill sports cars (vettes et al). . . to 70 year old classsics. . . to your true exotics, Last year, a Lambo Diablo won "Best in Show".

It was pretty cool to see everyone flock to the Elise. Even more impressive were the number of people who came up to me to tell me they read this board every day. Most of them hardly ever post, and are self professed "lurkers." Hopefully they will start to post pretty soon because I know you are all reading this. 
PM me and let's all grab lunch soon.

None. People just vote on which car they like the best. While it was cool to win. My vote would have been on this 1937 Dodge 1/2 Ton. I'm no pro, but I would expect something like this to push big bucks at Barrett-Jackson.

Ahahahaah LOL! That's awesome that you won. Congratulations! Well you have to figure you now own one of the most rare street legal race cars in America. Not to mention we now own a car that has made the front cover of Dupont Registry. I never thought I would own anything that would make that cover. Cool bunch of people you work with to do this.

Nice one, congratulations. Thanks for the photo of the truck, that's pretty cool. Funny thing about that truck, it reminds me that you just never know about some people. My brother-in-law is a very conservative, straightlaced, "frugal" (read: cheap) but nice guy, who doesn't really give into extravagances in any way. But back a few years ago, he goes and buys himself an old ('60's era) fire truck ! A pumper. He's since traded "up" slightly, to something a bit later-model and more powerful. He drives it in parades, and gives the occasional ride around the block to the kids in the neighborhood and in his church etc. You just never know about people....

Your car looks awesome in the first picture, that's a great shot. You'll need to get rid of the window sticker, though!
That old truck looks fantastic, too. Would have been a tough call to cast a vote between that and your Elise.

Thanks! When you first look at the pic in the garage, you have to look again because the picture looks so "liquid". But that is actually the kick-ass Zymol Carbon Wax I put on there. At $42, I wasn't sure what to expect, but it's worth it. It almost looks animated in some of my other pics.
What about NuFinish?
I'm serious. They say it does well against the more expensive brands.
