    Car Show Today

    I entered in a Car show today called Supercruise U.S.A., it was sponsored by a local Newspaper ,Keels & Wheels, and Collector Cars TV, and Bill Buck Chevrolet in the Port Charlotte, Venice area of Southwest Florida. They had 410 cars in the show, mostly classics, Vettes, Mustang clubs from all over Florida, and alot of other vehicles you just wanted to drool over. When the Marauder was being judged, one of the judges gave me a thumbs up sign, and said the car looked great..Well, when it was time for the trophies to be passed out the Marauder won HOTTEST LOOKING CAR AT THE SHOW. A 1932 Ford coupe won Best of show. No money, just a huge 4 foot trophy I could barely get in the back seat, but I managed. People love our cars it seems as much as we do. A German approached me about buying the car and wanted to take it back to Germany when he returned home in a few weeks, I thanks him, and passed on the sale.
