When I first saw those wheels when you got 'em..I was like..."mehh".
But they've grown on me..I won't be a copycat...but they do make your ride stand out...as if the nice paint, clean body, and simply the classic lines of the Last Fox Bird don't draw our eyes like dollar bills to stripper's g-strings!

Beautiful car...I think there's one or 2 parts on or in it that I once held in my hand... ;):rollin:

Ok, so since it hasn't been brought out, I will ask...
when  was this voting and was there a thread about it? An e-mail? PM?
Was it a private even or was it board wide? Who were the other contestants???

Not that I care that it was Vinnie that won, that's cool... but I am just curious as to who else was involved and how it all came about.

I think it was an honorary award since the Sport came in second on FEP. That's my guess.Still,it was nice to have the Sport thought of.
