I will enter as long as one of the stipulations isnt "user may not introduce 'ECO-Boost' equipment..." cuz that would be a deal breaker!
's at Alfa
That would be pretty sweet to essentially get a free car for 6 mos! I smell stock autox in someones future!
I hope those "secret assignments" include rally-x
If they are including insurance, I see lots of 'Jackass' videos in their future.
If you rent a car without the added insurance, you have a rental car. Once you take out the additional insurance, it is no longer a rental car, it's a recreational vehicle. 
why is everyone doing things like this lately. I saw a report on tv about some island that some guy owns and it has the same premise. send in videos saying why you should be the caretaker of the island. You live there for 6 months and get paid 100 grand but you have to keep a daily blog about the happenings on the island. i dont trust that not even for a minute i bet the owner secretly stays on the island and hunts the caretaker that wins. Ford Will probably follow suit. Start killing off fiesta owners and such.

Actually, it's the government of Australia and their tourism board who is doing this. Bad economic times and their tourist revenues are dropping, so they came up with this idea. Find an attractive, personable person, plunk them down on a gorgeous island on the Great Barrier Reef, and pay them silly money to live there for six months. They have to do weblogs, interviews, etc. saying how lovely and wonderful the place is. They also have a few light caretaker duties.
The gig runs six months and pays $105k American, I wanna say it was $150k AUS dollars.

Crikee! Isn't that the same Great Barrier Reef with all of those gargantuan great white sharks, poisonous corals, fatal-causing sting-rays, jellyfish and various other creeping,crawling, swimming nasties cavorting on land and sea?
Your first step is to create a 2-5 minute video explaining why you deserve the opportunity to become a driver and participate in the Fiesta Movement, upload it to your YouTube account, add the tag fiestamovement and submit the link through our application above.
Wow, companies these days are finding all sorts of new and creative ways to get users to do their marketing for them. Get thousands of people to create advertisements singing the praises of a car they've never seen or driven, post them on the Internet, ???, profit! Leasing out 100 econoboxes for 6 months is probably cheaper than a national television ad campaign to boot.
How about just submiting the TopGear of Clarkson running from "baddies in a Corvette" through the mall in the Fiesta?
