Aw, thanks buddy! Glad someone liked those as much as me! :)

Current Challenge (#523): Your TDI with something that says Happy New Year and it is not Home Made!
No problem, the pics were quite awesome! All pictures were good, hard to just pick one winner for each category. I would also like to thank cmsharHHR for the votes (Dinner's on me when I come out that way again :) )

Would anyone be opposed to me dressing up as Baby New Year? All I need is a sash.... :D

Video Village. What kind videos do they have there?:rolleyes:
Whoops I didn't think that through. I was so excited to be able to park next to the home made wooden bed truck! Now I wish I would have used the picture I took on the way to the store.




Oh and the video, Girls Gone Wild in Kilts! ;)

I had a lot of fun driving around and getting all these pictures. And then when I got home I didn't like half of them so I went and did them all over again. Then the biggest challenge, geting an almost 3-year old to cooperate and sit on thatrocking horse in the cold when she couldn't even rock it. Thanks for the fun and all the great submissions to choose from.

Literally just got home. Here's my ballot

500-A - MonsterTDI09
500-B - WEB
500-C - NewLyme
500-D - andriah613
500-E - ng3
500-F - Shrifty
500-G - Arne487


I was driving through the next to the last leg of my trip when the submission time expired. I really hoped to get a couple more pictures in but as luck would have it that didn't pan out. Saw a couple odd road names, too late though. The over the top decorations, well, when we saw them I didn't have the camera, when I did the lights were out. Thats just the way the ball bounces.

But hey, I should get a grand prize for driving 5300 miles, round trip, just to get a picture of a mailbox ;)

Here are a couple shots from the trip, just because I want to share.

The first is one I took from the upper level of the parking structure at the Gateway Arch. With the cloudy, drab day in St. Louis is almost looks like a black and white shot (except for the red tail light lens).




The second is while fueling at a truck stop. Too bad my daughter can't figure out how to run my point and shoot camera. The image looked OK on the camera screen but not too good on the computer. I have to admit I felt a bit small between a couple semi trucks.




Edit: Forgot to add that these were possible candidates for the challenges I wished I won.

Congratulations, Arne and all of the other winners.

So the next big challenge will be in April-ish at 1000? Something Spring-like, maybe. I likes the superlative theme; it can easily be adapted to the season.

Words with a -est suffix would be superlatives.

Words with a -est suffix would be superlatives.

I am so, SO very embarrassed.....:eek::eek::eek:

For some bizarre reason, I was reading that word as "superlaxitives" and I didn't understand what the hell you meant by that....:eek:

Sigh, I've been working too hard or need more caffine...:rolleyes:

Awesome. All thanks must go to Phoebe, the cone-headed carrot-eater. If I was driving my Golf more often I would have entered more pictures, but a win's a win!

Since the youngest helped out, his thoughts are:

Current Challenge (#525): Your TDI with 10 dinosaurs on the roof. Bonus points if there's 20!!!
