Just like your favorite racing game, the winner can spend all the money on upgrades with one company, or spread select components from all four.

Fans and contestants will then have the chance to vote once a day for the best vehicle until the competition ends on July 31. All entrants will have the chance to win the grand prize, which includes an all-expense paid trip to Las Vegas to display their newly ‘Amped Up’ ride at the 2007 Auto Aftermarket Show in a Meguiar’s exhibit.

CRITERIA: Vehicles will be judged on the following:
• Overall Appearance/Curb Appeal
• Paint (Gloss/Shine)
• Attention to Detail
• Wow Factor

 

Ya, that makes a lot of sense... the car that will probably win will probably already have $10k spent on it. So the people that could really use the $10k in parts won't even have a chance. WTF?

 

^ I was thinking the same thing...
I could use 10K in parts.

 

Nice. The car that wins won't need 10K in parts. I agree that a car is NEVER done when it comes to customizing, but this is kinda unfair.

 

x2

 

as usual.

 

some company needs to make a contest where there's a cutoff point to the amount of money that's already spent on the ride.... or multiple categories, e.g. $0-1000, $1000-3000, $3000 - 5000, etc etc

 

Seems pointless....my cars the best and i've spent 20k on it and there is nothing more to do, heres 10k more!

 

I agree with everyone else, what a waste of time. If your car wins that award, you obviously dont need 10k.

 

Ten thousand? I could almost buy my own ship for that!

 

couldn't agree more

 

So....He who has the biggest bank roll....wins.....
Thats right up there with Paris Hiltons 3 days of "jail"

 

 

Or.... you could say thanks for a chance to show off your car....

Do yall only enter car shows that you know you are going to win?

 

I don't consider this a "car show" though. If it were going somewhere to show my car out in public and have a good time with other people around talking about cars, sure, I'd consider. But it's an online photo submission for a contest.

 

It takes money to make money. That is nothing new.

 

It's not showing off your car the same way that you would at a show.
Hell, when I go to shows, I don't usually register, I could care less about a trophy, it's just a good time.

So yea, I'll send them a picture of my car, why not, but there's no way most of us would even be considered.

 

Lame Lame Lame.

Hey here is a great idea! Lets give a bunch of money to someone who already dumped a bunch of money into their car. Not much of an "upgrade" if you ask me.

 

ehh, why not

 

im guessing it's something called marketing. here is an incentive for you to spend money on your car to get more money.


old saying:

he who has, gets.
