You never, ever, ever see those here in Michigan. I guess we were too convinced the American versions were better (probably)... What always got me about the Ascender is that it is nearly identical to the Trailblazer/Envoy in every way, but they were cheaper, and deprecated (I believe so) a helluva lot faster...

Okay, I suspect that this is all I'll get.
FINALS
I'll edit this post tomorrow if I get any more.
Dirtiest Vehicle
He works with me, and unless he's gone muddin' over the weekend, I suspect it's all I'll get.
Vehicle that demonstrates excess
An Excalibur limo. With wire wheels. You can't beat that.
The ugliest color
I'm grasping at straws here. This is my dad's 1982 Mercedes. It's got the patented Mercedes Piss-Yellow paint.

New categories:
1. FURTHEST AWAY: same as last time. Distances will be calculated based on where you are to the largest city of that place, unless - as in Europe and some US states - we can figure out the issuing area. So if you're in Seattle and you see a car from California, you get the L.A. presumption. Lucky you.
2. LEAST VALUABLE HONDA: we all have Honda. Find one that's worthless. The category could also be called 'beat to **** Honda.' We're going by present value, folks, not value when new. EDIT: must be drivable.
3. MOST VALUABLE ALL WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE: anyone see a Veyron this week?
4. 12 CYLINDERS: I hope this works - here's the plan - whoever sees the MOST twelve cylinder vehicles wins. The hitch is that they all must be different - so two Ferrari 575s, for instance, is just one total. So if Joey sees an A8 W12, a Ferrari 575, and a Bentley Continental GT he's got three; if Slicks then comes in with an XJS V12 and a 612 Scaglietti, he's got two and Joey would get the point. If Slicks had three XJS V12s and four 612s, despite having seven spots it'd still just be two. We're looking for variety here. I presume this category will be won by someone who sees like two 12-cylinder cars, but why not give it a shot.
BONUS CATEGORY:
VOLVO V70R: anyone photographing a Volvo V70R gets a point. Both generations count however a badge shot or a clear wheel shot will be required for first-gen models (in other words, no shaky photo of the rear of the vehicle unless the badge can be clearly made out). MAXIMUM ONE POINT!!! I don't care how many V70Rs you spot, you're only getting one point. Most participating countries have this vehicle, so come on people, it's an easy point.
Remember pictures must be taken this week, and no shows, dealers (ahem, Volvo dealers, for instance) or gatherings. And you know, it's possible to enter one vehicle in three categories this week - if, say, you see a V70R from Maine in Los Angeles, that'd take care of 1, 3, and the bonus. Hmmm...

Damn it, I wish my buddy still had his Civic...yes this is at an autocross, yes the hood needs hood pins to stay in place. He still sold it in that poor of condition, had 275,000 miles on it, a bad clutch, and it burned oil, for $1000.

That's nothing. I've seen a Civic before...err...I've seen through a Civic before that literally had been hollowed right across the trunk. I've also ridden in one the Flintstones would envy because their feet had to wait until the engine died out...
Damn - that'd be up there - but I think it's too recent - I have faith that someone's going to find an absolutely beat older Civic. I just amended the category with the stipulation that the vehicle MUST be drivable - like the one you posted - anyone could go to a salvage yard and find a 15yo Civic with roll damage.do lawn mowers count?
NO!Anyways, the 12 cylinder category sounds like fun
I hope so - we'll see if we can get some cool 12-cylinder spots.
Saw a Diablo, did ya?

Damn. Two categories are out for me - Volvo and the 12-Cylinder. They don't sell that Volvo, and 12-cylinders are very, very rare compared to any place in the world - I don't think there are more than 5 in Israel, none of them driven regularily or commonly seen (Here, it's uber-special to see an Evo, a Civic Type-R or even a Pug GTi). I know one Countach existed back in the 90s, three Ferraris were imported in '95-'01, and perhaps a Rolls Royce, if they have 12 Cylinders.
I might just about win the Distance, if embassy-cars count - a pair of UK Land-Rovers are sitting right next to a set of french Pugs in the "Embassy Street".
And the Civic, I might find something in the area. Whoever posts "Most Worthless Subaru" is basically giving me a free win
