Bragging rights

First of all I want to say thank you to each and everyone of you. through these posts in this forum I was able to have the best year ever with my truck. Now for the Bragging.
This year was the 25th Annual F-100 Western Nationals held at featherly park Anaheim Ca. I wanted to attend not only to see all the beautiful trucks but to go on the Beach cruise All of the was awsome. I met a lot of good contacts and had a chance to meet GARBZ The show was great as Garbz and I were talking my name came over the speakers to pick up award for "Best Daily Driver" wow what a shock...Does it get any better then this....it does!
Yesterday I received my copy of "Classic Trucks" guess what? Theres a picture of my truck. What a rush. So once again, thank you guys/gals for being here sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

Sorry for rambling on I just got excited.

Congratz Robert.

Just let us know when these things are happening. I am constantly searching for reasons to drag my wife and take my son to car shows. I have my son so hooked now he looks forward to getting out of school to attend Cruisin Grand.
