Hiboy and I decided to take a crack at a first car show and so we signed up for the Primer Nationals - What the heck, might as well aim high hehe.
I thought I might have a chance to place since there was a "girl owner" class. I figured there could not be that many girls there. WRONG! After I saw how many females showed up and how cool some of their rides were, I looked at Hiboy and said: "Buddy, we'll be lucky if we get a third place!" No matter, we were there to have fun and learn. I spent the next two days checking out the many vendors, doing some shopping, both for me (hotrod Tank tops) and for Hiboy (a cool RPM gauge to replace his crappy current one). I also checked out all the cars there, and there were very, very many.
This was a huge national show so what a great way to get my feet wet! Turned out I was going to get a little more than just my feet!!!
After I was done shopping on Sunday I walked back to my car and found that the nice gal next to me had a great big red ribbon on her T-Bucket that read: 2d place. I looked at Hiboy and he had nothing. We looked at each other and shrugged: "Oh well, it was worth a try!"
"Congrats on your second place!" I told my neighbor (I was really happy for her, she is a great gal and a friend)
"I wonder who won First place?" - Her husband looks at me and smiles: "YOU DID!" I just about fell over. ????
What do you mean I did? but... There's nothing on my car! "You got a little pink sticker on your headlight. That means you won 1st place in your class and you will get your trophy during the closing ceremony"
Pinch me! I must be dreaming!!! My very first hotrod, just got it, our first car show, a huge national show and WE WIN FIRST PLACE???
Must be beginner's luck!! :)))
