Hey, ketsa, I'm afraid you're a few days late with your challenge picture, so I'll have to dock that last point, but we will continue with your latest challenge that came with that post, since that's what you would have had to do anyways.

And that little kart's pretty awesome!

Ok, folks, let's get the game back in gear. Ketsa gave you all an easy one,
Boxster with today's newspaper (so make sure you post your pic on the same day you take it...timestamps count!)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^I'm giving this picture a non-real (but very bragging-right worthy) bonus point for the ransom note. Nice, tommy, I see you've been biding your time to get back in with a picture.

Boxster in the snow :(

Spinnaker, nice touch with the ransom response.

I was wondering who was going to be the opportunist to ask us up here suffering this pre-Halloween BS that Mother Nature threw at us to supply a picture of our vehicle in the snow. So I figured I'd be the opportunist to supply one and get a point in here for old time's sake:



...I think she's just a wee bit out of her element here...

So for the next challenge, I'll say Boxster, top down, at the beach**Challenge not met, please see post #273 for latest challenge**, to make us folks up north feel a bit better.

The unfortunate thing is, while I can supply such a picture, it's a bit frustrating as I'm waiting for my new car cover to arrive in the mail, so the car's suffering under about 6 inches of slushy fluff that's supposed to keep falling into tomorrow morning.

Thankfully it's far away from all the trees whose brances have been snapping off. In the 2 minutes or so it took me to turn on the lights of the car behind it and snap the following pic, I heard at least 3 trees' branches snapping and falling to the ground, and more are snapping off and falling as I write.

Here's what's been happening in my neighborhood:


Sorry for the huge picture sizes, my phone actually takes halfway decent pictures and they come out enormous (didn't feel like resizing either). But yeah, that's maybe 1/5th of the tree in front of my house now laying across my yard and sidewalk. That was a few hours ago. There are now several other pieces of it laying across the street, and some hanging right over the powerlines in front of our house looking like they're ready to break too...sure hope they don't, but of course as soon as I say this it starts to get windy around here...joy.

Well for all the jabs we northerners have been getting in Johnny Danger's thread about the crazy snowfall I'd expect someone who has all that nice weather would snap a pic of their car at the beach (Jäger!). Ah, well, if I end up having to dock my own point, so be it, at least no one can say I didn't supply a pic for the game from here.

I might have a pic of it right on the water, but there isn't any sand so I don't think it would count.

Is it actually at a beach, though? If so, any sort of way of proving it?

It's on the inter coastal right on a seawall, does that count as a beach?

I guess it's a little too late, HighLow, I'll nix my point and set up another challenge, but I'm doing this on my phone so I have no idea if the formatting will work. If not I'll have to make an edit tomorrow.

How about this, as it leaves plenty of room for creativity:

Boxster with junk in your trunk(s)

...I know the rest of the country didn't put their cars away like we did up here, and I know that those of you who haven't have got to have something in your trunks...

Everybody's O/D'ed (pun intended) on Halloween candy.

BTW, nobody is taking a picture of my junk and I don't care if you even work for the TSA.

We didn't have a Halloween here, Spinn. No power and power lines all over the ground meant the trick-or-treating would've been a bit too scary and dangerous for the lil' ones. I do have a picture of my car completely frozen Monday morning. My black top looks grey. I think I'll go snap some insurance for myself and take a picture of my frunk and trunk...figured this ought to be easy....maybe people are embarrassed to show that they don't keep their trunks free of stuff?

Actually, I'd have to fill my car up with stuff. I leave it empty for the most part, except for an emergency kit with jumper cables and a 12v aircompressor. Don't think they qualify as junk.

Hang in there, the weather will get better at some point. I thought I had it bad last year when we got snow in November here in Seattle.

Maybe not "junk" as far as being useless, but it is stuff, lol. I think everyone's got varying ideas on junk, some prefer to have nothing at all in cars like these, I know. I think I've got a few bottles of drinks and an umbrella in my trunks from my last rides when it was just raining and not snowing in the middle of fall.
