Ok but you will have to make a surprise appearance when I drive on out for my first GGP. We have to get some good paparazzi pics

The Centurion looks great I love the wheel covers and the rear wheel skirt The Orange stripe is a nice touch as well. I can't wait to see what your final MPG results were

At the Green Grand Prix awards ceremony, a group once again received award, after award, after award. Congratulations to all the ecomodders who had the opportunity to attend and show'em what you and your ride are made of!!!
-
We are the ecomodders, and truly a force to be reckoned with.
Here is a group photo courtesy of Pamela Hirschhorn over at NortheastWheelsEvents.com - Car Show Calendar
-
Cruising at a mere 204 mpg at the event, this year Centurion is recognized with the following:
- 2016 TOYOTA GREEN GRAND PRIX: Most Innovative Non-Production Car
- 2016 TOYOTA GREEN GRAND PRIX: Most Fuel Efficient Vehicle
-

-
-
There was one more award that was not expected and is the icing on the cake. It's in this photo set and its cover is titled: "New York State Senate". The folder contains a "Proclamation", something I've rarely seen and never received. The writings on it are seen in this photo below:
-

-
-
The above awards are somewhat bittersweet as they also mark Centurion's retirement from competition. For three year's in a row, this little car has exceeded 200 miles per gallon at this SCCA sanctioned event, all while averaging just over the 45 miles per hour target as specified by the organization. The three year average works out to 229 miles per gallon.
- - -
The original Centurion created by Robert Q. Riley retired as a legend - forever emblazoned on the cover of the February 1982 edition of Mechanix Illustrated.
-

-
-
The Centurion here at 9 Main Street will also retire as a legend, but of the Green Grand Prix and its image is forever emblazoned in the 2015 historical racing calendar.
-

-
-
It was also announced that the name of this Centurion's driver be stamped on a brass plaque that adorns the side of a perpetual trophy that will be displayed at all future Green Grand Prixs.
-
Centurion was a winner in 1982, and 34 years later, it still is!

Hey, is your phone working? Lol, not being a butt head, just wanted to know- and I barely took any. Other than ones of me with a stupid grin in the Centurion, and my results, I have maybe 3. Haha, I have like 45 for Yelp reviews, though!

I was searching for my interview with Fox, and on that NortheastWheelsEvents.com - Car Show Calendar, but couldn't find anything earlier.

Officially, the count is now 5 phones in 3 months. I have a few photos but only a few survived. Let me see if I can dig up enough to get the ball rolling!
