A few weeks back, I went on a cruise to the Ringling Museum ... with a bunch of Mustangs. Of course, the Mangusta attracted attention like bees to honey. At the time I had no intention of showing the car until I cleared up its "daily driver" road rash; however, the 'stang bangers were insistent ... so I caved. So far, we've (the Mangusta and I) entered two open-class judged shows, and taken goodies home both times!
The first was a "Pride of Show" plaque, the second a "Show Favorite" trophy. If you've had any thoughts of showing your car but haven't, do it! You might be pleasantly surprised.
