I would like to protest the moving of this thread to the Zuffenhausen Lounge ( happy hour after 17:00 somewhere ) section. It may not be appropriate for the general discussion section, but it is about Boxsters, so I don't think it is an "off topic" subject. How about the "Show and Tell" section? That would seem more appropriate.

Sorry for the bleached out shot...right into the sun.

If it counts...I'll challenge for in front of a Fraternity or Sorority house (for the college aged set)

Overdrive, I do live in a college town so I can satisfy my own challenge if necessary. Sorry about the lack of bold type.

AZCanna, please edit your post and put your challenge in BOLD for visibility...and I hope you are prepared to find a frat house in case someone cannot satisfy your challenge.

deptotpr, thank you for getting back to me. Give it another shot on a later challenge.

human986, thank you for the enthusiasm, noobness aside. Try to make your next contribution one that meets a posted challenge.

I also have to agree with Spinnaker, as I rarely venture into the off-topic thread since there's a lot of stuff there I'd rather not bother reading. I know this doesn't fall into general discussion per se, but the original thread never got moved (please don't do it now), and the threads with the most visibility are routinely in General Discussion and Technical, and don't always get moved even if they don't necessarily belong in said categories. I'd appreciate if it could be moved back to General.

Ok, tangents over, on with the challenge.

It looks like we're coming up on the 48th hour shortly, AZCanna. At that point you will have 24 hours to supply a picture to meet your own challenge. Once you have done so, please provide the next challenge in the same post, and hopefully we'll get someone else to bite.

24 Hrs are up

Overdrive, not sure how this works since the 24hrs has passed. I can get a photo up to satisfy my own challenge tomorrow afternoon. I'm currently away out of town on business, but return lunchtime tomorrow.

AZCanna,

your challenge has not been met in the time period, so you have lost the point that you were awarded previously. We'll still need another challenge to continue with, so please post a new challenge for people to try.

This needs to be moved back into the general discussion section. Nobody is going to see it here.

Agreed. Who are the moderators I need to contact about this?

When you are on this Zuffenhausen page, just scroll down to the bottom of the page to see who the current moderators are.
Or...., how about this idea. Just start a new thread with the picture challenge in a "different" place.
If they don't like it in the General Discussion section, start one in the Show and Tell Gallery. It does say "Post a picture of your car here" doesn't it?

This is true Spinnaker...I think I'll give it another shot tonight and put it there.

Maybe time periods should also be longer... Let's say 5 to 7 days for competitors to hunt a picture + after that couple days to save the earned point.

End of this month I'm going to start my driving season, so I'm hoping that the game is warmed up before it

Thanks for the suggestion, ketsa. I think we'll see how things go with the new challenge thread (it's in the pictures section now) goes and if it picks up like the original did. This one's not going to be used any longer because it wasn't working where it got placed.
