last night i won best of show for trucks and suv's at the autovations show in the minneapolis convention center. I want to say that i never could have done it without the knowledge, support, and help i've received here over the last 3 years or so.

I beat out around 50 or 60 other highly modified trucks and suv's many of which were very highly modified with custom paint, airbags, hydros, extreme body mods etc. etc.. I never expected to be able to beat out new 60k dollar vehicles with rims that cost more than the blue book on my truck and tons of other modifications, and it never could have happened without this site.

thank you -drew

pics will be coming, i pretty much have a picture of all of the really nice trucks at the show as well as a bunch of new ones of my truck (i've done a lot of little things since my last pictures). It will take a while to get them up since they are on a regular camera and not my digital (which best buy still hasn't fixed despite having it for 6 weeks now)

i went to target to pick up some of my pictures and they had forgot to do the disc... idiots

i'll have them for ya'll tomorrow.

I'm so proud to have won with an explorer and even more so for having won with the truck i wanted to build, and a truck that i drive every day and is appointed as such (ie- on 18s, and without airbags or hydros)

and here are show coverage pictures- i have 35 pictures in my hands right nwo of all the coverage and some of them are a little grainy, but none of the double exposure crap. target really messed up the picture disc. i'll post the ones that are sort of viewable and then hopefully have them fix the disc for me later.

Fantastic job; attention to detail, creativity, and hard work wins awards: not a deep pocket and paying someone else!
