Default 2nd Place Finish

I went to the Columbia MO Mustang and Ford show at Bass Pro yesterday. I entered both cars into the show. The show was to benefit the Mid-MO Rondald McDonald House which is a good cause. My wife just wanted to enter her car just to see how it would do. I arrived there at about 11:20 and registered the cars and parked them in their class. They had to create a new class because they didn't think so many 05+ Mustangs were going to show up. The named it the "05+ Mustang Closed (coupe)" class. There were alot of people there asking a bunch of questions and so forth. I setup a binder with the story behind my car since it is a lengthy one. When people looked at the part with the car torn a part from the hail damage, they had to take a second look.

At the end of the show, they gave out the plaques for each class. Each class had 3 places. I took 2nd place in my class. Here are a few pictures of my car:

Here is the 1st place car:



Here is one of my favorites:

congrats man. [sm=smiley36.gif]

The car looks GREAT. It's hard to believe it was ever torn up.

I got my smacked at the lake by some guy turning his boat trailer around! Dinged/scraped my passenger fender! [:@]... We were out on the water and couldn't yell loud enough or anything... he drove away ... we weren't close enough to get his ID tags ... bummer!

Congrats on the win. I know another guy with a blue 05 that also lives in Mo. and his car was also damaged by that hail storm. He just got his car back last week after two months of being gone for repairs.

Thanks for all your compliments. I took me all day to get both cars ready for the show. There were some real nice cars that showed up and the people were great.

Yeah! See? The secret to first place is those new Eibach springs!
He still had the stock rims, I think!
Oh, maybe that was a supercharger in there too... ;-)

PW has the darndest luck of all. Seems like everywhere he goes he gets dinged. I guess that red attracts more than just cops.

That yellow one does have a pro charger on it and is lowered. The wheels are still stock and he has one nice stereo installed. I think he has the Basoni exhaust system including the X pipe and the exterior mods that you see. That is one nice car and it is for sale. He wants $27K for it. It has the 5 speed manual tranny, premium and IUP. There are not many miles on the car, I think he said there was 4K miles.
