Rick, I can relate to what you are saying, as I think almost anyone who has put a car in a show can (no matter what the quality of their ride was). Besides thinking about what we say, I think we can take a bit more active approach too. From personal experience, I know that just a good comment or 2 from people is worth more than any trophy I might have sitting on the shelf. It also goes a long way in overcoming the negative things that some clown may have said.

(Gee, I think Bob mentioned something similar in an earlier post)
