Smitty's Giveaway Center - Free Cars, Tickets and Paint!

EDIT - things died down here a bit... And a promotion at work has shortened my time on GT5 and gtplanet. It's not completely dead however! I wouldn't rule out a resurrection here and there...

Thanks to all who have participated so far,

Smitty

Gifting is one of my favorite parts of gtp and GT5 in general. I was introduced to this ideal by the master, s0ul_chicken (turns west and tips cap). Some of what I will give away here has a poultry scent to it... nt1138 is pitching in too. Thank You to you and others.

This thread is for me hold my own giveaways. If you would like, please participate! I tend to do giveaways a little differently... Often with trivia, guessing games, and other posts requiring a little more interaction. Maybe photo posting or some googling involved.

"Who wants a _______?"
"I do"
"Ok, FR me"

That is nice, and gets the job done, but this will be more interactive and fun than that (at least that is my goal!). 99% of the time you will post here to participate. I won't be looking for PM's as entries for giveaways - EVER - thanks for understanding that. Winners should FR me, and please don't send a blank FR, that just slows down the process. Thanks again for understanding.

My current cupboard is pretty strong, more than 15 different level tickets including some biggies like 23, as well as some attractive birthday tickets including 67, 69, 70, and 71. About 40 0/0/0 cars as well. Surely far from the biggest stash on gtp, but enough to have some fun with. I have all Mattes, as well as Chromes. DLC paint too - painted cars are in the mix.



I'll occasionally drop a ground rule or two, thanks in advance for abiding. I post with my phone 99% of the time... Just chalk up spelling errors to my charm if you would please

I look forward to furthering your enjoyment of one of the best games you could possibly place inside your PS3.

Cheers from Indianapolis, Smitty
