    As most of you know, we're moving this Friday. We have some stuff that we'd rather not move--T-shirts, books, pins, hats, stickers, goodies, etc., that have accumulated in our offices over time. Most of it is car-related. We have packaged this "swag" into easy-to-ship boxes. So, how do you fit in? We'll award one box of "stuff" to the owner of the highest-rated Readers' Ride at the close of business each day this week until we run out of boxes. Since it's almost 5:00, we'll start awarding the boxes tomorrow. Have friends? Better get them to vote.

    Fine print: U.S. addresses only since shipping is expensive; winners to be awarded at or around 5 p.m. Florida time; no bitching about the contents of each box or anything since this isn't even an official contest. Good luck.

    You know, I thought about that. If one of my cars wins, the prize goes to second place. How's that? I don't need my own swag.

    Damn, I was hoping we'd force you to mail a box of swag to your own house. You know.. have your wife more perplexed than usual.

    Probably not. Actually, she puts up with the car stuff very nicely.

    Is it bad to admit that I like Kara's blue Miata better than mine? (I added Kara's car as my car because, well, she doesn't read or post here.)

    Have Friends? Right, like that is going to happen.

    All my friends are on the internet and are not going to vote for a Trailblazer.

    I thought Metal won that. Send me your details, and I'll get something out to you.

    You know, I just have to say you guys sure are feeling generous lately. I just read in this months issue that you sent a free copy of the magazine to every memeber of the National MGB Register, after the NAMGBR news-zine won the best club newsletter constest. Thats like tons of people, including me!

    Well, we try to be generous people. And look, we have a new leader in the Readers' Ride contest!

    And we keep finding more cool stuff to give away. Maybe we'll open it up beyond first place. We'll let you guys know at 5:00.

    I'm just blown away by the variety in the top-rated ones.

    On the other hand, I'm definitely getting pickier about which ones I vote or comment on. A good description and good pic are big pluses.

    Do NOT vote for mine yet...

    (let's see if that reverse psychology works)

    I've added mine, let the trinkets flow.
