The rules have been stretched many times all in the name of fun, Wordplay or subsitution is even encouraged for some of the tougher challenges. I thought about a shuttle model a couple of days ago but didn't have time to hunt one down. It's a worthy challenge

OP RULES: page 1

After 5 days, the person who made the challenge can post their own picture and pick another topic.

If a challenge is not met after 1 week a new topic is picked by either the last winner of the challenge or myself.

If a pic is in dispute, it needs 3 yes votes to be accepted.

After any comment, please put the current challenge at the bottom of the post so everyone can stay up to date. Please post one comment, per picture, per CF member.

If a picture has been posted but a new challenge has not been picked, the current challenge is still active until (a) new challenge has been picked by the challenge winner or (b) another person posts another picture satisfying the challenge and picks a new challenge.

aww shucks folks...i'm just happy to play the game...however, if you MUST shower me with praises, could we use GRAND MASTER instead of WIZARD?...recent uses of that title haven't gone over to well ya know?



besides, some credit has to go to andy46 for making the challenge "challenging" in the first place...thinking these things up isn't easy!

NOW GO GET SOME ICE CREAM!

Quite timely Xplosyv as my younger son and I were planning an outing tonight, and he just happened to choose ice cream (he is an ice cream lover). With this we decided to take the Vette. This is one of the best (and more popular) ice cream shops in the city.



My sons challenge is:

Your C5 parked next to another car of at least two times the value of your Vette based on approximate new market values.

This is one of the best (and more popular) ice cream shops in the city. It took a while to get that parking spot, but oh well, we had ice cream to eat while we waited.

A pair of Z06's, one definitely worth 3 to 4 times more than my C5.

Next Challenge
Corvette Parked next to a European make, worth at least double your C5.

zipity...looks like you are missing a lug on that left front wheel in the second pic above. Like that early Z06 though!

Here is a pic from a cruise through the Whiteshell/Lake of the Woods area last weekend. Found some fun roads. Here is a stop where I got sandwiched between a Boxster, Carerra (997 - grey one) and just beside and in front of a new Turbo Cabriolet.



Better pic on the first stop of my car beside the Carrera.



And me behind the turbo...didn't get a pic of when he dropped the top, which was cool. This car can really move though, I needed an extra gear on him to keep up.



If this qualifies, then the next challenge, your C5 with a baby seat.

Damn, didn't think that would happen. I have seen plenty of Porsche coupes with baby seats. Oh well.

Moving on...

Your Corvette at a Prestigious golf course (ie, Pebble Beach). Preferably with your clubs in the pic but not necessary.

That should be easy.

Oh common! How can you pick up babes if you don't use a car seat!




If this is ok, then your car on a camping trip.
