World of Wheels - Chicago 2018 was
OUTSTANDING!!!Well over 600 vehicles attended & competed in various classes.
I was placed within the "Conservative Hardtop" class.
Conservative one would ask. Right? Ha. That one left me puzzled to, until I began glancing around at all the other truly, truly outstanding vehicles positioned all around the show floor.
These fellow owners certainly brought their 'A' game and it was/is amazing to try and conceive the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in most of these high class vehicles.
Made me humble knowing despite how much I enjoy my SHO, and how much time, talent, and treasure I've poured into mine, that I am still just an amateur in comparison.
That said, I am still very grateful at having been allowed to exhibit. I met so many wonderful car enthusiasts and spectators alike from all walks, all ages, and all ethnicities. It's nice knowing we all share a commonality in our love for motor vehicles.
What a great experience!
I had to laugh because some of competitors commented at the awards ceremony on how they grew tired of hearing people talk about my SHO. More importantly while those very same spectators were checking out their cars! LOL.
So yes, I am happy. Happy for a multitude of reasons. I was graciously bestowed a
FIRST PLACE plaque for the aforementioned class. Wow! First time exhibiting and I received that level of recognition.
Completely and pleasantly surprised.
Elated I was able to inform so many people about the SHO platform as well as representing the SHO family at such a ginormous event.
Here's a few pics......
