Great song, great vid!

With fb, honda-tech, civic-eg, word of mouth and local forums he could have easily found 800 people with an extra 10 bucks in their wallet. Now he has to find 80 with 100 that they are willing to drop on it.

Winning a car w/ $8K invested for $100??? whats so hard about that. To be 100% honest I only have 50 Decals. That's 5,000. That will end the raffle, if more ppl. want to enter at a rapid pace which I don't see happening there are 50 more decals JIC.

My grand prize would be giving away my car w/ extras

2 nd place would be coilovers or a set of tires

3rd place a suspension component ex. brace, sway bar, strut bar

all runners up get a free t & $50 off any auto service ( covered in the link )

.... I AM NOT MOTIVATED BY ANY MEANS OF GREED. THIS IS SOLELY FOR NOTORIETY & GETTING RID OF MY LINGERING PROJECT. Not to brag, but I have 5 cars, the rhd eg being one of them, and the only 2dr vehicle. Just don't need it any longer.

The price was to deflect and improve the quality of buyer, not quantity of buyers. So forgive me for the high decal price. At the same time it was to improve odds.

in lure of all that a giveaway is more than the right way to give someone the opportunity to own a car at $100. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, and I knew it wouldn't have a mas appeal, I never counted on it. It's just the way to level the playing field and get more exposure about the giveaway. Either way it's out there. If the raffle doesn't progress then hey, I'll be in the same position as I was before. man w/ a paperweight car for 1of 3 kids to inherit.

Thanks
Joel

I think it was a pretty good idea for a car you can't seem to sell as is. Keep on keepin on.
