Picture of your Boxster game.

Did this on another forum… It was fun.

Rules
A person makes a request of your Boxster by some place, with some accessory inside the car, and etc. Whoever posts the requested picture has to request a different picture, and so on…

It should be your own car, a friend's car, family member's car. No googled images ( that's cheating and the point of this is to get out and photograph your car!)

The person who requests a picture, cannot post a picture to his own request.

Let’s see for how long we can keep this going. (Admin, if this is stupid or already done… just delete. No hard feelings)

First car request: Your Boxster in the rain or wet

Doesn't mean we can't start up a 2015 version....

Would have tossed a picture in, but I try not to let my Box out in the rain (which it so happened to be doing all day today).

Are you serious about not driving your car in the rain? I am curious why.

Boy, I'm just a buzzkill, aren't I?

How about ice? It's technically water.
I tried to wash my car in 20 degree weather.
I have a bunch of "wet" photos somewhere, but can't find them!

Crummy picture...feel free to disqualify.
If not, next up is a 986 and a locomotive.

It rained so hard I didn't dare open the door to move it, then it hailed. It was light though.

I like seeing a wheel off the ground on track day....that's like totally cool, man.

Come on, guys, lets get this rolling. I participate in one of these on my motorcycle forum and it can be fun. I think someone a few posts up threw out there:

Your Boxster and a Locomotive

Some one go do it. Then that person, in the same post, makes the next request. Make it fun, interesting, and a little challenging.

I'm at work now, or I would go out and tag this one right away.

OK. Now I'll take that wheel lifted.

I asked above that for a single tire off the ground on the track. Sorry.

The previous threads never seemed to take off on here, lets see if we can do better this time. I propose that we ditch the "keeping score" part of it, and just do it for fun. The motorcycle one I participate in has over 9000 posts and averages about one tag a day, and they have no point system. It's just done as mindless entertainment.

So, here were the rules form last time we tried this:

Quote:
THE RULES - PLEASE READ
1) No photoshopping, so obviously this also means no requests that would require photoshopping. We're going for real pictures.

2) Please only post pictures of YOUR Boxster, meaning you will actually have to go out and take a picture to post in this thread. Yes, you have to do a little work for your points...or have a buddy who's great with a camera and enjoys running around with you to play this game. You must take the picture for posting in this thread. No previously taken pictures will be accepted.

3) No duplicate requests - let's keep it fresh, I’m sure we can all think of something different.

4) If you are the poster who meets the picture challenge, please put your next request in a BOLD font under your picture so it's easy to find.

5) If the challenge isn't met within 48 hours of posting, the person who put the challenge up then has 24 hours to complete the challenge themselves. If they cannot complete their own challenge, they are docked one point and then must pick a new challenge. Choose wisely and be prepared to meet your own challenge if needed.

6) No challenge is to be made that involves any of the following:

* illegal activities (this includes, but is not limited to: guns, drugs, street racing, thievery, etc).
* currency (the participants of this game will not be limited to those with immediate access to large amounts of funds)
* Destruction of one's own property, the property of others, or any piece of public property

The list could go on and on, so let’s use good judgement and do things in good taste. Again, this is supposed to be fun while being challenging.

7) Do not specify model/type/year/color requirements for member vehicles(i.e. base Boxster, Boxster S, 986/987, MY99, etc.). We want anyone and everyone on the forum to be able to participate in this game. The type of Boxster you own does not matter, just that it IS a Boxster meeting the challenge requirements. However, specifying something else (like taking a picture next to a brick building, a red sedan, a yellow lawnmower, a pine tree, an empty boat launch, etc.) while not getting too specific, is allowed. Simply say "A Boxster...(followed by the challenge specifics)".

8) Once a challenge has been satisfied, the user who met the challenge should post the picture in the Boxster Picture Game Thread for confirmation.

9) Please do not quote someone's post with the picture in it so we don't see the same pictures multiple times. Instead, refer to the post # so that we can keep things organized and uncluttered.

10) If you wish to dispute someone's meeting of a challenge, refer to their post # and give a reason for disputing their accomplishing the requirements by the rules. Keep it concise and don't start an internet fistfight about it. PM me if necessar, but do make sure to put a post in the thread so that there is record of the dispute.
I think these are good, except for the part in #5 about losing points. I do agree that if you post a challenge, and no one gets it within a certain time limit that an new challenge needs to be posted. How about this: If over 48 hours go by and no gets the challenge photo, the person who posted the unsuccessful challenge has 24 hours to post a new challenge or forfeit. At forfeit, the first challenge posted, by anyone, becomes the new challenge.

We okay with this?

I'm good with it it keeps the thread from getting stale. Although i dunno if everyone is good with 48 hours as a good time frame. I believe when I first started on this site there was a similar thread with several pages that lasted over a couple years. Of course too many rules and the thread will die instantly.

#1 problem?
Activity on the forum has been down and of the regulars, a large percent don't drive their cars every day.
