[disinfected]

Yep, I noticed it .02 seconds before you posted. Added. Confirmed.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

So @disinfected won this round. 👍


Since we almost had a tie this round, what should we do in the event of a tie in the future? (I don't want to be figuring this out at the last minute)

Well, I don't think that "whoever posted first"is fair. How about the total value of all the cars?

That sounds good to me.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

New topics?

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

New topics?

Just waiting for @disinfected

 

[disinfected]

1. #1 Fan
Any car with stickers/license plates/other general memorabilia for a sports team.
ex.

2. White Out
This category will be determined by who can get the most white cars in a single picture.

3. He's On Fire!
Any fire engine/fire truck. Must be current, so no old fire trucks on display.

4. How Low Can You Go?
For cars with a significant/obvious lowering.

5. Japanese 80's Festival
Named after the event popularized in Gran Turismo. Any Japanese car built prior to 1989 and after 1980.

6. Bonus Car
Nissan Leaf

 

[GranTurismo916]

Awesome. This should be great for me since I'll be in NYC on Friday.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Should be easy. 80s Japanese cars might be difficult.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Question: If you see a Chrysler Conquest (rebadged Starion) or Plymouth Laser/Eagle Talon (rebadged Eclipse) does it could at Japanese?

 

[disinfected]

Might also add that something like this does not count in the fire truck category.

Also, the Japanese car must be badged by one of the Japanese companies. Chrysler/Plymouth will not count.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Never mind. I drive by a place that builds fire trucks I'll get a pic of it after school.

 

[playnthru]

Can the Firetruck be at a Firestation?

Or

Shall I call 911.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

If you want to go to jail, go for it.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

"But...but...officer, it's for the Internet!"

Nice categories by the way.

 

[playnthru]

Personal vehicles don't count either right? The wife has a sports themed LP frame.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Nope.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Here's a new fire truck.

Found this to.

Starion

 

[Rage Racer]

2. White Out.
5 white cars here - Chevy Lacetti, Nissan Qashqai (foreground), Mercedes ML, Peugeot 308 and another Qashqai.
Looks OK?

#1 is pretty hard for me (there's no tradition of sticking sport team logos on a car), #3 and #4 are easy, #5 will need some luck but quite possible, and the bonus is almost impossible (electric cars are veeeeery unpopular here).

 

[ildd]

Predictions:
1 yes
2. I have a strategy and shall not reveal it... I may win
3. There's 2 fire stations on my drive. Shouldn't be too hard.
4. Almost certain there's some of these in the school parking lot
5. See #4
Bonus- what a surprise, another bonus car I won't get

If you have a picture, post it here: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/did-you-see-anything-good-today-read-first-post.78950/


We'd love to see it!

 

[Xilor]

Missed a lowered BMW 3-series tonight, watch it come back to bite me, not a lot of lowered cars here..

Also are there any rules regarding #2 or can I for example shoot a picture of an entire parking lot?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Here's #1

Was at my school. Has a Michigan football plate.

 

[Rage Racer]

Lowered.
Lada Samara (2108)

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I don't see why you couldn't.

 

[ildd]

Do I get an extra point for #1 because I have 2 cars in 1 pic?

And #5, 1984-1988
