I don't vote for cars which have closed bonnets, either. If it ain't open
there must be a reason. In concours the thing that makes the difference
between the winners and the runners-up is engine bay and undercarriage
preparation. I use the same criteria in Pop Choice.
And anything but an originality freak so I don't care for correctness but I
do look for execution, finish and maintenance. If someone has engineered
his own "something" and done an admirable job of it, it will garner points
with me.
I once schmoozed and lobbied and wound up winning a second place when I
really deserved a third. I felt remorse after that so I don't engage in that
kind of activity anymore.
