Mopar guy from Texas checking in...
Welcome from Kansas. My wife used to be the same way, but one time in a really big show, they lumped all 64-72 cars together; about a hundred or so. There were some really nice cars, so I wasn't really expecting to win anything. We were out looking around, and when we got back, there was a third place ribbon on my car. She was so excited she couldn't stand it. Now she is 100% on board.
