Default T/A 'vert wins trophy and $$$

Hey, this was a first for me. I've certainly won awards before but this show offered cash too. 2nd place for class "Best GM - 1974 to present" with about 80 cars in the show. A trophy and $30. Click on photos to enlarge if you like.

That's pretty cool! Usually the only shows that give money are for the drag race winners.

That is sweet!
I have never been to a car show with a payout in my lifetime.

Thanks guys! The teddy is actually a BMW bear from our old Z3 roadster.
I bought a Trans Am patch for $5 and my wife sewed the patch right on his sweater. He is much happier being a T/A bear.

Many on ebay, like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-Honey-Bear-/390567151570?pt=Apparel_Merchandise&hash=item5aef9dc7d2&vxp=mtr

Thanks! Probably first and last. Don't run into cash too often.

On a roll! Won another trophy (over 2' tall) at a show in Toccoa, GA yesterday. 'Best in Class' (best GM other than Chevy). Parked next to a monster Caddy that won Best of Show.
