Dave,
	I totally agree with you. It's amazing how the best paint and best
interior awards are rotated from year to year among the same owners. I
entered last year with a newly installed Bridge of Weir leather interior
and custom finished Carpathian Elm burl wood inserts and lost to the
vice president of EPA who readily agreed what I had was second to none.
I was able to garner a best in the wash and wax class and still haven't
seen the trophy. Save your money folks. You don't have a chance.
	Fred T.
