FXTerrific

Thanks for the warm welcome, and kind words on the "van". lol. She's got enough pep for cruising around....just trying to keep her sparkling!
...I mean...i cant have the 60 yr old cars outshine my 6 yr old one, right? (sorry, big fan of pictures...hahah.)

DONE! thanks for the heads up. i love photo threads!

And, the Adam's products, are still blowing me away. If i played my cards right, i think i was able to let my wife know, pretty detailed info, for what website to do her shopping for the birthday boy....hahaha. 
 

still all good in my neighborhood!! another regular order, and another MB down...and she keeps looking better and better. 
 

A little Adam's "Red, (bright and shiny!) White, and Blue!
 
Location: Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, CO.
 

 
Good luck to all!
 
 
 
 

Was really in the mood, after a parade on the 4th!
 

I think the shipping is just fine..no complaints from me.
 
Anyone ever buy "custom car parts before? Talk about waiting..

Those are essentially the same rules I posted. And I was thinking the same, it gets pretty boring to watch the same trucks on the truck forums, and the same bike on the bike forums, and the same cars on the car forums lol. I figured we would get a huge variety here, but it seems dead. Ill probably let the contest die out after this month unless I can think of something else to get people to play.

The misses was gone for the weekend, so I figured I would clean up her RAV4. It's been bug season here in Iowa so it was caked with bugs.  The color looks amazing when its all cleaned up, the Brillant glaze really made it shine.

​drove mine from MI to South Dakota for the Black Hills Corvette Classic held in Sioux Falls, SD and Spearfish, SD....................... this shot taken outside the hotel in Spearfish about an hour ago........... after accumulating 1700 miles over the roads..............................

Only got 3/4 of the way the first page, and hit "next".
 
I like the photo contest idea. I tend to be very active (avg almost 6 posts a day, for the last 6 yrs) on a Subaru Forester forum...and thoroughly enjoy the photo contest stuff over there. So, i felt the need to throw out some info/tips that may help one here...as many of the same Issues/problems/quarrels/etc could/used to, happen over there. 
 
1: Your own/personal car
2: Your own/personal photo
3: A pretty narrow theme. That way the person that lives in a random town has the same chance in heck, as the person living in one of the more photogenic parts of the US (or world...). Maybe its a location, monument, aspect of nature, a racetrack inspired idea, a before 'n' after using a particular Adam's product, throwback of when i got the car vs how it looks today, maybe a closeup/detail shot where an Adam's product did the trick, etc, etc, etc, etc.
4: Winners can't enter again for some set amount of time
5: ^^^Maybe previous entrants in general can't re enter for some set amount of time (this would only make sense to enforce later on...if you find you're having a decent turnout of entries each month)
6: Users vote. not mods or Adams themselves (in this case). Each user gets one vote, in a poll type setup.
7: ^^^^But how would they "ok" a prize then?...there's no prize (the fact that your old lady subaru auto trans got more votes then that Hellcat pic...IS the prize.)
8A: ^^^But how could my old lady subaru pic "beat" that Hellcat pic?.....are you a better photographer? did you execute the theme better? etc.
8B: ^^^But i want a darn prize anyway!!! ...then maybe there is some small prize, "ok'd" by the appropriate party, awarded to the months winner. Or maybe at the end of the year, each months winner is thrown back into a GRAND vote, for an ultimate prize, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. 
 
Coming from a world where people paid $500, like for the whole car, to those putting $20-30K into it purely in mods...people would be surprised how often the "big guy" loses. Just vote for who did "it" (executed the theme) best. I can only imagine the crazy variety there could be over here...compared to me looking at pics of the same 4 eras in the same model car, each month....hahaha. 
 
(then you have your "real" rules, as far as cheating with votes, nudity, etc, etc.)

Well here we go..... CONTEST THREAD
 
I know it has a bunch of rules, but thats only to try and make it fair for everyone. I hope theres plenty of participation so there are more contests in the future! If you guys have any ideas let me know!

and yes...i wash that as well....
 
hahahhah.

hahahhah.  

The mystery boxes usually happen once a month sometime two times, here is a schedule that Chris has posted, it's for fun and quite a guessing game. My advice to all is to have fun, it's a gamble you never know what you're going to get and if you don't like to gamble stay out of the casino.
 
Pay attention, it think they will drop today or tomorrow, also if you can grab a couple for some better chances and if there is a specific item you need or want make sure to order it, that way you won't be dissapointed.
 
Good Luck!

I think detailing products are even more addicting than car parts because eventually youll need to refill. 

how often they do the mystery box things? got one of those initially, as was happy. missed out on this bucket one i saw the day. those happen on any kinda schedule? 
 
...i already have the feeling this has become eerily similar to...car parts....."ohhh, imma need thaaaat!".......ouch. 

Welcome Jeff.
 
Car looks great!!

Pictures are cool Jeff keep them coming!
