I chuckled at this topic, i remember talking to you about that night when your dirty car won that trophy and how you felt like a jerkoff. To me winning a trophy at a cruise night is almost always a participation trophy. Very rarely are they actually judged, so winning a trophy doesnt really mean much anyway. I do feel some kind of way when a really really nice custom car doesnt win said participation trophy but the new car designed and built by a corporation does, but come enough and the custom will get the trophy, new hellcats and vettes cant win everytime.

Bottom line to me is, cruise nights are for participation, comradery and a chance to escape girlfriends and wives. Trophies are a littler perk and if you are getting salty enough to make a big stink about a new showroom car getting one and not your 1969 (fill in the blank) than you have bigger problems.
