<VV> Car Display Rewards

[henry kaczmarek]

Since I've not been a CORSA member for several years now,  I didn't read 
this thread when it started.

Why didn't I read this thread???  Do tell!

All I read on the Sturbridge Convention was really positive.  Not trying to 
knock the apparently outstanding job that was done in any manner. But I JUST 
KNEW that folks would be beefing about something, and the Clambake was the 
lucky recipient.   In the 15 years I've been on V V, there have been 
complaints about the convention.  Some are substantive, most not so.  And 
the distinction in some cases can be made whether you actually attended or 
not.

This Trophy thing is another one of those "you didn't have to be there to 
know the people complaining are whack jobs" things.

I have never entered a car in the Car Display or Concours. Mostly because I 
never had one nice enough.   I do now.

IF I was a CORSA member
IF I attended the National Convention
IF I put my car in the Display
AND IF FOLKS THOUGHT ENOUGH OF MY CAR THAT I GOT A TROPHY.......

Well, it would be the first trophy I ever received, and if atop said trophy 
was the back half of a mule, I'd still be proud to have it.
To me It's not the number of trophies you win,  or the artistic design on a 
trophy that means the most.
It would be that people thought enough of all the time that was sent 
restoring MY CAR  was worthy of their respect/admiration, and said so.

Your mileage may vary.
