it's free and you never know who might vote for you (besides yourself) I think the same people will win as did last year - there is what you call a "click" with the voting and who gets voted for.... all the winners will be out of 10 cars and you will know when you see them.... - but it is fun to vote for yourself because at least you and your car know that you are a winner (I voted for myself)

you dont have to be, but you might as well just park with the rest of the group in the show n shine. And if your gonna park with us, you might as well just enter in a class. It doesnt hurt. Plus its just cool representing the club. The Show N Shine is held right next to a major road which draws a lot of attention imho so you might as well represent Spring Zing.  Just because your near stock doesnt mean you still cant win an award like best paint or best engine bay, neither of which have to be modified to win. Personally, Id vote for a stock paint job thats absolutely blinging or a stock engine bay thats has not one spec of dust compared to a custom paint job with mediocre paint quality or a done up engine bay thats filthy. Although, beating wa2tuff for best engine bay is going to be pretty tough.  Regardless, its all about just hanging out with the group and having fun.

SZ show and shines have never been about winning trophies, even if they are now being awarded.
You're attending SZ because you love your car - same reasons you joined this site. The show is just that, a show of the car you love so much.

Agreed.
I thought about not representing mine this year, but I've made it MY car so why not show it off? Hell, BSOELMAN was rockin' a busted fender for the show n shine!! He still showed off!

I attended my first SZ last year and it was a blast. If you are letting the Show & Shine leave you on the fence whether you want to come to SZ or not, don't let it.
Spring Zing is all about getting together with people that share an interest in the contour/mystique and having fun with them. Besides, I would be proud to show off a stock Contour SVT, and you should too.

No joke. Like there's a select 3 of us that vote. NO! EVERYONE VOTES! I'm sure Rick didn't know 1/2 of the people personally, that voted for his car. People vote for the cars they like, simple as that.

I wasn't gonna enter cuz of the same reasons...my CSVT i'm getting or my SE are not show-stoppers. Yeah, they look good, but there's way better out there, so why enter? Then I thought about it and since i'm gonna be showing, might as well enter anyways..who cares if i don't win? I would still be reppin CEG
