Thanks everybody for the "props" but remember, I didn't actually "win" anything. Just got an unusual amount of attention from the crowd that's all.
There are more than a few well detailed XF's here on the forum that rightly deserve car show accolades more than mine. I mean I don't even "detail" under my hood for crying out loud......But then if I opened my hood at a car show (especially at 90 degrees) nobody would see my scoop now would they.
These car certainly do make ya feel special though don't they?
One thing I forgot to mention was that I really wanted to park next to this one guy who had a pretty nice lookin dark grey 350Z with beautiful aftermarket wheels. (since they love poking fun at XF's so much on their forum). I didn't notice hardly anybody paying attention to his car at all. I know it would have drove him nuts seeing the crowd the Cross was drawing.
