Boxster Picture Game Thread
 

Well, folks, I saw this game on a VW forum thanks to a co-worker, and I thought it would be fun for us to do the same thing on our forum.

You take pictures of your car(s) in a certain setting or a funny/unique situation.

The first one to get it right wins a point and then can give the next challenge. Everyone can try to do the challenge but the first one to get it done wins. I’ll be keeping track and going by forum timestamps. Points are basically for bragging rights, something for you to throw in your signature, maybe. :rolleyes:

Example of the process: "Boxster in front of an office building" - You take the picture (NOTE: it must be a picture of YOUR car and cannot be an image older than one year, you’ll have to go out and shoot it specifically for posting here otherwise. We're going on integrity here, so let's keep it honest.) In your successful post, you then present the next challenge for everyone else to try to meet.

Please don’t make the requests too outrageous or specific to where people will be unable to do them, or risk doing something dangerous/illegal. This is supposed to be for fun, and we also want the game to be able to continue, not get stalled because someone says “Picture of a Boxster doing a barrel roll.”

Alright, so by the numbers:

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 or have a picture that has been taken within the last year.

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 so it's easy to find.

5) IF the challenge isn't met within 1-2 days 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. ;)

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 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.

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.

Please let me know if there are any additional rules or changes that members feel would be beneficial to keeping this game going. Moderators, if there is any sort of problem with this type of thread or you feel there is a better location for it than the general section, please let me know and feel free to relocate it.

I'll start everyone off with an easy one.

slurp, slurp...

Ok, been about a day and a half so far and no car washes. tonycarreon, hope you're ready to give the Boxster an impromptu wash tomorrow if no one comes through. :rolleyes:

Ive been wanting to wash my car for this picture game but its been raining for days now... lol sorry tony.

Next: A Boxster on a waterfront.

Seems the rain held off.

On the water front.
 

I was going to upload one of my wife washing my car in her bikini.. Oh well lol

I am going to go ahead and speak for everyone else - that will be allowed ... Post it up!

I think we'll make an exception, an "honorable mention", rather. Go ahead and post it, Penland, lol. ;)

Again, please try not to copy the previous images when quoting a post...we don't want people to get confused on what's next.

We're still looking for a Boxster in the Mountains currently. Who's going to get the next point?
:dance:

So far we have:

tommy986: 2 points
thstone: 1 point
tonycarreon: 1 point
lobo1186: 1 point

Does this count? I was driving on a mountain road and you still get the back hump of my box.

^Incase it does not show: http://flic.kr/p/9TRNnq

If it does count, then

Boxster at sunset.

ProjectM96, yours is the only pic in the thread I can't see right now, my employer's network must block whichever host you used for the picture. I'll be checking it this evening, but from the sound of the description it'll very likely count...you were in the car, after all, and the rules didn't say that wasn't allowed. So long as we can tell it's indeed the Boxster.

So...gimme about 4.5 hours :o to really confirm

We'll press on in the meantime, next pic!

In the mountains
 

If you hadn't said your picture was in the mountains, it would be hard to tell.
I was thinking something like this:

overdrive, I would give points to this guy. It is true that it is hard to tell I took the pic when surrounded by mountains. tommy's pic is better.

Well, I would...but tommy986 himself is the one who presented that challenge, and he's only required to answer his own challenge if not one else comes through within 48 hours to keep from being penalized his last earned point. It also prevents people from presenting challenges that they have pictures for already or upcoming opportunities to take those pictures and hog points for themselves.

Anyways, we'll write off the point for the mountain picture, maybe present it again at a later time. How about tommy986, who has the last valid point so far, present us with a fresh challenge, or if you'd like, you can present projectM96's challenge and we'll continue going for a boxster at sunset/sunrise (not going to be too easy to tell the two apart, I would think). The choice is yours, tommy986.

Sunset sounds good

Well, we're a few hours away from the sun setting on the east coast for anyone who isn't looking at an overcast sky like I am...get those camera's ready! For those of you on the west coast, you've still got plenty of time to wait. For anyone else in other parts of the world, if you've got the opportunity now or soon, go for it and snag yourself a point!

Ok, well, looks like we'll have to write off sunset as well (you met your own challenge again, tommy986, nice pic, though).

So, anyone going to the track soon? :D

I kinda get the feeling not many folks are going to be headed to the track mid-week. Sure, knock out your post and put sunset up again...though that really is a nice picture, I had to save it. :cheers:

Does an autocross count as a track event? There are quite a few autocrosses going on this weekend.

So what's the next photo going to be?

Ok, folks, we're back to:

Boxster at sunset (I'll also say at sunrise...not really going to be able to tell the difference, I would think)

Whoever successfully posts up that picture may suggest the racetrack again if they really want to see it or another challenge if they so choose.

To answer the question made, as far as I'm concerned, not that I'm the Dictator Grand Poo-Bah of this thread by any means, putting up cones in a parking lot for a legit AutoX counts as a racetrack/-course for me. Whoever posts up the challenges has to give the specifics of what they want to see.

Sunset in Vesilahti, Finland.

Edit: And my call for the next picture is a Boxster next to an air-cooled VW Bug.

Nice job from another part of the world, ketsa!

Please go back and edit your post to put the next challenge in bold (see rules in the thread's first post), and be prepared to meet your own challenge if someone does not do so in the next 48 hours.

...I'm kind of kicking myself right now because I could have taken that very picture yesterday next to a '63 Beetle. :o

Hey folks, did you even try? :rolleyes:

No problems, I will go and catch a bug tomorrow morning and get my second score. :)

Went by all the nearby VW repair shops last night on my way home from a dinner outing. Not a single one parked outside.

Got lucky!
My neighbors had visitors.. and they came in a beetle!

Next one is is boxster with 914! I just love those little cars:)

Boxster with a 914
 

Hey, everyone, sorry, was out for most of the weekend in Philly, good to see the pics came through in time. Sasha055, you definitely got lucky. So, anyone doing maintenance this weekend? :rolleyes: (silly question, I know...someone's doing maintenance this weekend for sure)

I knew my challenge would be easy.. Should've asked for " Boxster with the naked woman and donkey in the background !"

But then again.. Johnny Danger would've won that easily

Sasha

Well yeah, it's easy when you're someone like tommy986 who owns both, lol.

So where's our Boxster on jack stands, folks?

Ok, tommy986, in about 4 hours, provided someone doesn't put up a picture of their car on jack stands, you'll have 24 hours to knock this one out yourself to retain your latest point.

:dance:

+1 for me.

Is that a road or a parking lot?

I'm inclined to agree. ProjectM96, I think we need an actual road, doesn't mean you can't edit your post and still get the point, though. Go go go.

We're still on

I thought a parking lot is a road since it was made for cars to drive on and also have speed limits.

Anyways, here is another one from when I first got the car. It is a small side road that actually leads to a luxurious neighborhood with huge houses. Weird.

Lol, ok, I think we'll take that, and this may be a time for me to make a tweak to the rules regarding having to go out to take the pictures. Let's just keep it at it having to be your car, and we'll say it has to be a recent picture, say within the last year. I think it'll make life a little easier on folks for when less common things come along like being on jack stands or at a racetrack, but that won't totally eliminate the possibility of people having to go out and take pictures specifically to meet these thread challenges


Not to thread-jack myself (that even possible? :confused: ), but ProjectM96, I just noticed you're in Philly. I'd be curious to see where this road is. Also, do you by any chance live in south Philly anywhere in the neighborhood of South St.? I was just in Philly last weekend and saw a 986 parked on the street, but it was at night so I couldn't tell if it was black or blue. Feel free to PM me so we don't crowd the thread with irrelevant stuff.

OK, point to ProjectM96, now we're looking for a Boxster with a girl

(I find that this latest challenge is quite open to interpretation, so let's keep it tasteful, folks. Johnny Danger, I'm looking mostly in your direction should you happen to be following this thread...and/or want a point. :p )
