Thirteen. Lucky thirteen, or is it unlucky thirteen? Well, at the New Dimensions 13th Annual Charity Auto Show on May 23rd, up in the San Francisco Bay Area, there were quite a few lucky entrants who walked away with some well deserved awards. Unlike last year's show, which took place under cloudy skies and cool temperatures, this year's event was accompanied by blues skies, pleasant temperatures and a nice breeze blowing through the Twin Creeks sports complex where the show was held.

Participants converged from all over the West to take part in what has traditionally been considered the inaugural VW/Audi show of the season out here on the Left Coast. License plates from Washington, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona were mixed in with the locals throughout the event. New Dimensions and show sponsors managed to attract over 260 cars to the event, with its new expanded lineup which now includes both BMW and Mini.



Below is a brief listing of the top cars of the event. We do, however, have to make special mention of the People's Choice Award that went to a Josh Maurer's red Corrado which was covered from top to bottom in dried mud, complete with mud-covered mountain bike on top.
