Dashboard Confessional Award Their Customized Honda Civic To Mike Shelby, Jr. of Ortonville, Mich.

VENICE, Calif.--May 21, 2004--Prior to their headlining concert at the DTE Energy Music Theater on Thursday, May 20, 2004, as part of Civic Tour 2004, Dashboard Confessional awarded Mike Shelby, Jr. of Detroit one of the customized and autographed Honda Civics that they personally designed.

Shelby was among the lucky contestants who won a chance to randomly select a key that could start the Dashboard Confessional Civic through a contest with Detroit's top alternative station 89X (CIMX). While Shelby was the lucky winner whose key started the engine, all of the contestants were awarded a pair of tickets to that night's show as well as the opportunity to meet Chris, John, Scott and Mike of Dashboard Confessional.

Fans still have even more opportunities to win one of the ten remaining customized Civics designed by Dashboard Confessional through upcoming media promotions as well as the "Drive Away With" national sweepstakes at civictour.com.
