Old Grumpy
I attended a cruise-in a week ago Wednesday. I had hit a deer returning home from the same event the week prior. My left outer headlight was gone, the outer fender extension was pushed back slightly into the left front fender, which was crumpled just behind the extension and was further bulged and slightly creased over the wheel well. On close inspection the back of the fender was pushed back under the stainless windshield trim instead of being flush. I brought the car out just to hang with my Mustang pals. As the cruise-in was beginning to break up I fired up the Stang and headed for the exit, which was next to the organizer/announcer's table. He asked me to stay and park my car next to the exit. He also commented on my missing headlight because it was now dark enough to have my headlights on. Turns out that they were presenting me an award sponsored by a local auto tech company. I've got the plaque here, but I'm still not exactly sure what the award was for. It says something about the "70th Anniversary-Folsom Incorporation, April 1946-2016". What could the possible criteria be that had them select my one eyed wounded warrior? I suspect that it was a left over from a previous show and the guys that run the cruise-in decided it was my turn. Trophies are a joke.
