    Re: Upcoming car giveaway promo

    I wonder how many people even know what a coupe or a sedan is, lol, many don't.  Frustrated

    Coupe = 2 door sports car

    Sedan = 4 door familly car

    Re: Upcoming car giveaway promo

    I could see myself rolling around in a nice little fuel efficient coupe, especially in todays economy. All the other cars would be nice too though, a little fluff to ride around in on when going out...Could use a nice 4WD work truck to though. >.>

    Can this be open to people under 18 years of age?

    Mammon slept. And the beast reborn spread over the earth and its numbers
    grew legion. And they proclaimed the times and sacrificed crops unto the
    fire, with the cunning of foxes. And they built a new world in their own
    image as promised by the
    sacred words, and spoke
    of the beast with their children. Mammon awoke, and lo! it was
    naught but a follower.

    Exactly my own thoughts.

    BTW- Since when has this site become overrun with environmentalists. Hybrid in the lead atm. Indifferent

    Re: Upcoming car giveaway promo

    I voted Hybrid.  We could use a second car.  Who couldn't in todays economy.  We've been living below our means and it's paying off right now.  I've been laid off since November 23rd, and may not return until August... sucks!  We make ends meet, but no extras, and OMG the food prices are rediculous out here!

     Least I forget I am still paying child support to two diffferent baby mamas, LOL!

    Hmmm... if I won I'd get rid of my Magnum and be note free!  Yippie... but I couldn't win a dollar off a lottery ticket.  Truthfully... I can't win at the carnival Pick The Duck Out Of The Pond game where everyone is a winner... I still loose, lol...and not.

    Re: Upcoming car giveaway promo

    Screw the hybrid or any other of those cars (I voted for convertible because I love my grandma's 1968 Mustang).

    I want an Aptera 2e

    Or...BMW Gina

     

    Or... satisfy both my needs at once: Driving plane


    Or (best for last):

    Re: Upcoming car giveaway promo

    Hybrids appear to be the economical way to go.  We have a Dodge Magnum... not a smart buy on my part...not at all!  All it really is-is a souped-up wagon for dads that don't want to look like they're driving a family wagon.  I should face reality and put one of those "Wally World" National Lampoons Vaction bumper stickers on it... the sticker with the big, silly moose.

    There are a few cars they could be giving away...

    The Smart Car (seems fitting for Eggheads): http://www.usa.smart.com/

    Or the Peapod car for the (Yuppie Geek): http://wot.motortrend.com/6287653/green/chrysler-unveils-gem-peapod-electric-car-could-hit-roads-by-2009/index.html

    And lastly, the (Techy Ego Gamer Guy) would want one of these: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/iav.htm

    SIDE NOTE:  Probably not street legal as-is.  Would have to strip this thing bare of anything military.  Also...I want one...painted metallic black and with rims!

    P.S.  I'm not a Techy Ego Gamer Guy... LOL!

    Re: Upcoming car giveaway promo

    WOW!  I hadn't heard of BMW's Gina!  I took my son to this years Chicago Auto show so he could see the life-size Transfomers BumbleBee replica and I strolled through the BMW display and didn't see this there...

    Textile Skin!  Okay... I want it... I want it now!  I just don't want the price tag, nor the insurance rate, nor the fuel cost... ugh.

    Good idea, I'm sure we could compromise with a GM Suburban/Yukon/Tahoe/Escalade Hybrid...

     

    Full size SUV and the hippies can't yell at you because it's a hybrid... Best of both worlds.

    SecretCog, the APC idea was MINE. Much, much too long ago.

     

    I voted for coupe personally, but I guess that makes me a loser that didn't vote for SUV, Hybrid, or Convertible.

    Not really,  I drive a Coupe..  A 1993 coupe, but it's still a Coupe..The only thing that bugs me about it is the lack of headroom causing my hair to rub on the ceiling and then it all sticks straight up from static when I get out.. That's a much bigger PITA than I ever thought it would be.  Oh, and the static shock to the first thing that you touch (usually the outside of the door when closing it)..  I get 32 MPG and it red zones at around 6500 RPMs since it's a DOHC engine.  It can hit crazy RPMs, but it's a small engine so the power output isn't all that great..  Lots of engine noise to go up a little hill, but it sounds pretty awesome.

    Re: Upcoming car giveaway promo

    I just voted both here & at newegg.com for the SUV/Truck.

    Despite the economy, global warming & all that stuff, it amuses me the SUV/Truck is winning even if just by a margin over the hybrid(at eggxpert) & the coupe(at newegg.com) Course votes are only 40+ here at eggxpert atm compared to 11,700+ at newegg.com atm.

    Not that I have, but it looks like you could just sit there & re-vote all you want over at newegg.com. That seems kinda stupid to me, but idk. As I said, I haven't tried, so maybe it won't let you.

    What?  ROFL!  Does it matter? 

    We both have similar tastes in humor I suppose.  Was there a different thread on this... I never read your APC idea.  Was it a different vehicle then the Stryker?  Dude... I love that rig!  I doubt it will ever be released to the civies, but I dig it.
