Greg's Yellow Boxster at my First Concours

1. Competition car washing.
2. A silly test devised to find the most anal person of those who enter.
3. A futile attempt to get some respect for being really good at washing one's car.

I've never been to a concours event, let alone enter one, so I had no idea what to expect. I spent a couple hours cleaning up my car after last week's track event and since I was taking my dad to Navy Pier for Father's Day anyway, I thought why not, might as well enter my car in class E (Exhibition). I just didn't realize that cars in class E get judged too! If I knew that I probably would have done a slightly better job!

The event was sponsored by PCA Chicago and held at Chicago's Navy Pier. The weather couldn't have been more perfect!

Even though Lee was giving me a hard time for having too many Porsche pictures on my web site I'm putting up pictures of my favorite cars.
