Default angry man



As I have posted, I am in a muscle car match up. Yesterday I was told that after removing a number of people for cheating the site was hacked and many of the people including myself had lost most of the votes we had received. I have a had time understanding the idea of doing this type of thing over a five dollar trophy. This hobby for me has always been about the people and the stories they tell. Many of the people on the site I have met at different car shows over the years, many are friends. I am asking again if you have a few seconds to revote at the site. I do not care if you vote for me or one of the other cars. It just makes me angry that fools like this can take the fun out of something like this event. Please vote in spite of these people.

Happy to help a fellow '69 owner out. Vote cast.

When the lead car is a '91 foxbody, I'd be a little suspect...

If you don't already know, it is extremely easy to cast more than one vote. Ask me how I know but not in here. I re-voted for your beautiful car but there will be no real winner when anyone can vote more than once.

They're just using "one ip address= one vote"; they should know better, surprised this hasn't happened to them before.

Good luck Steve, that is one gorgeous '69.

Choices, choices, too many choices...

I will decline the offer. I have always believed that taking the high road is the right road. To lower myself or my own standards to cheat at winning a car show would be to lower myself to the level of these people that caused this garbage to happen. I may be stubborn and I may lose this contest , but I will not be afraid to hold my head up and look a man in the eyes and say "I do not cheat."

I agree, because someone who cheated may win the trophy, but they'll always know they didn't really win.
Also, I don't vote for (high end) vehicles simply because someone could afford them; I appreciate vehicles someone restored and/or customized.
