Won Top Mopar!!! YEE HAW

[HHI VIPER]

Just got back from entering my first car show and won "American Muscle catagory" and "Top Mopar" out of about 100 vehicles. Approximatly 20 were Mopar new and old and the rest were mixed from Vettes and mustangs to foreign vehicles. A beautiful Pantera won peoples choice. WOW...Didn't know what to expect and actually didn't expect anything since it was a first. The car just got back from a complete paint job last night at 9PM and I had to register at 9AM this morning. Not much time to detail but I guess it was enough. I am a new owner of 8 months and I can tell already my baby and I are going to have some fun! Now it's time for a

NO!!!!LOL Just kidding Slaughter...actually, I got approached by by a Member of the Corvette Club, who is a Viper enthusiast dunno:figure that one out???) and he asked me on Thursday if I knew about the show but it didn't dawn on me to enter because my car was still at the painter getting buffed out after a makeover. Making a long story short, I got the car back Friday night at 9PM and made a last minute decision to enter so I started putting Emblems (chrome) on the car then woke up at 6AM to do the rest of the prep. I have never entered a show before so I didn't know what to expect but all I know is I got alot of attention from the croud (only Viper) and won against alot of beautiful cars in the American Muscle and Dodge/Mopar catagory, in the likes of Vette's, GTO's, Cobra's, Charger's, Mustangs, new and old etc... The overall peoples choice award went to a Pantera which was a beautiful car. About 100 cars were in the show. Needless to say, I "represented" very well...alot of attention came to the "BADDEST MACHINE AROUND" that day!

Finally got some pics from the show! My buddy is a cop and he had some other "DISTURBING" pics on his cam he had to seperate that he didn't figure we would want to see! I figured the pics would show a little of the competition but he did not get some of the newer stuff. He's a "classic" guy

 

[HHI VIPER]

OK...pic posting 101 for us newbies!!! Any help? Why the red "x's"???

Here are a couple. Big-n-Italian can help you. Check those PM's

Congrats! Now send some good pics and a story/description of your car to Domestic Driver - A bi-monthly online magazine featuring Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, and GM Cars from 1980+ and try to get your car in the magazine. Then save trophy and magazine article "just in case" you need to prove a value to an insurance adjuster. I got the value of my 98 GTS up another $9,000 because of the trophy and magazine article. You know - a picture is worth a thousand words. One that's deemed worthy of showing the nation is worth as much as 10K!

I've already had my 01 both trophied and another feature article in the magazine ... "just in case."

[HHI VIPER]

Yippee...I figured out how to do this pic thing!

Wish my buddy would have taken some pics of other later model "American Muscle" catagory cars from the show but like I said above, he is a classic guy so this is all I have. There were about 100+ cars and there were some "PURDY" ones!

Yeah, pathetic huh???!!! We had the only high-performance car there (BLACK Viper) and the pink neon wins first place...we HAD to laugh! Yes, Vipers DO stand out, and don't you LOVE that 'whiplash' effect from people?!!! ENJOY~~~juli

Maybe we should have a pink Viper? NOT!!! The other day I was driving down a very busy road and I live in a tourist area and this gal about fell out of the passenger side window of an SUV trying to get a pic of the Viper doing about 50mph. Her husband was trying desperatly to fight thru traffic weaving to get next to me for the pic. It was pretty funny but a compliment none the less! It was an "out of towner" from Kentucky. Drive safe! - Jeff

The fun has just begun!

Wait until an 18 year old girl walks up and starts talking about how badly she tried not to "lick your car all over". Or some guy walks up and apologizes for "freaking out your wife because he didn't realize she was sitting in your car while he was FEELING UP YOUR VIPER!"

Getting one of the only 12 trophies given to a show of 450+ hiQ showcars.

[big-n-italian]

the boys and i love going to car shows! we get to see some neat cars, say hello to new friends, see some neat towns, and best yet - it gets the kids away from the darn computers!

if you plan on going to more car shows, definately get a display board! after about an hour, you will get tired of answering the same questions over, and over, and over, and over, . . . .

mine now has a nice display stand too and no longer sits on the ground.

Great idea! This was the first carshow I ever entered. My 15 & 13 year old boys kind of egged me on to do it. Now that I have done it I believe I will do it again for sure and I will get a display. After looking at yours and BIG N ITALIAN's info board, it definetly will allow me to enjoy the show as opposed to answering the same questions "over and over"!

Yep...Boys away from the TV, X-Box and computer, definetly a great idea!!! My 15 year old is now "CAR CRAZY" He loves the oldies and wants an older Charger or GTO. Nice display by the way!
