500-B - Your TDI next to the most unique, coolest or wackiest MAILBOX you can find



Not as good a shot as I wanted...the camera didn't want to cooperate at -10*F, hopefully everyone can see the fish with a lure in its mouth under the mailbox.

Looking for other challenge submissions during my return drive to California.
500-B - Your TDI next to the most unique, coolest or wackiest MAILBOX you can find

Well here is my official Mailbox Photo.
It's a welder holding a motorcycle fender in his left hand with the welding rod in his right hand and the helmet on his head. Look on the top of the fender to see the hinge and when you lift the front of the fender the mailbox is inside.

So last night I was out looking for a totem pole in some sculpture park when I discovered this:

Kimmswick, MO, actually quainter that what I had planned last night. Shoulda used the tripod. :rolleyes: The second pic isn't main street but that house on the left is original from 1840. Most of the buildings in these 5 square blocks or so are 150-220 years old.

Dozenspeed's Official Votes:


500-A - MonsterTDI09 (just what I imagined)
500-B - WEB (the welder was awesome, and I like that tractor, but I like the subliminal statement here)
500-C - NewLyme (wins because it's a funny car period, now modified ludicrously from being any sort of practical vehicle!)
500-D - andriah613 (funny to me as I read the sign with a Maine accent! WEB's was so, so close though)
500-E - ng3 (who didn't see my vote for that coming? Nevertheless, way to go everyone in this popular cat)
500-F - arne487 (using a dog was hardly fair! Props to krauseengneer's daughter pic)
500-G - Forza91 (respect for the tricky photo circumstance, only way I could settle on picking one)



That was a tough call, many many good pics everyone. :cool:

Hey Dozenspeed, I changed this one to my official 500- D yesterday.

You did, I noticed at the restaurant....fixed now. :) I got the other update!

Let me know if there is anything else, compulation was fairly tricky. ;)

Thanks much. I know the sign is spelled like the bird, but how it's spaced out just seemed funny to me. :D

You know I used to like this game, looking at all the pictures and finding ways to get your car in the pic, but voting for the favorite out of all the great pictures is tough. But if that is what I have to do to play along and enjoy ALL of the Great photo's I'll pay the price! :)

But it's kind of a pleasent anguish....:rolleyes:

I hear you, there were many others I really liked too! I've edited my cast votes to include some justifications and mentions.

THANK YOU to everyone so far for following the format with the blue and bold text, that makes my life easier! ;)

57 submissions, you can only pick 7!

Looks like about 8 voters so far about half-way through.

Notice someone who has NEVER won a challenge, or even posted on this thread has cast their vote...(they don't even have a TDI!)....we're counting that....so there are no excuses for NOT voting for ANYONE who has been following along! We want to hear from you all! (And I EXPECT votes from the 12 players!)

As you can imagine, St. Louis will need my attention tonight, so I don't expect to be on again until tomorrow afternoon. Until then, here is a another template for voting you can copy/paste.
