i think we would all like to win a trophy or two. but i overheard someone
saying at a car show "I've got enough trophies."
made me realize that its not that big a deal. really, imho, its about an
hour or so of basking in the glory and then its irrelevant. in april my son
won a trophy in autocross, and he was very, very proud, as were we. now
he's at college and the trophy is here.
every time i get in my car i realize why i have it. guess i'll have to be
satisfied with that smug feeling of satisfaction.
i know, i know, its jealousy/sour grapes cause i've never won either . . . .
