Default The contest is on

A lot of you were good enough to help me win the ride of the month contest, and I think some of us had a good time with it. Now the contest is on for the ride of the year.

The contest is now live on the Cool Rides Online Facebook page and will run until 11 p.m. CT on December 31st. Individuals must have a Facebook account to vote and are only able to vote once per day.

Just like in the monthly contest, I am the only Corvette in this yearly contest. This contest is over on the 31st, so there's not a whole lot of time to get the votes in. Hopefully you think my '66 is worth your vote(s), and that, and Corvette camaraderie will play a part in getting them.

This is the link:

I appreciate your support.

Thanks very much.

I don't have a Facebook account. My wife does so I will get her to vote for your '66.
Merry Christmas

Just voted again. Looks like you've come up a few spots from when I first voted last week - Great news! Hopefully, everyone will keep voting and get you moved to the top! Best wishes.

Carl, just a little heads up.
Apparently for this contest, you have to have about 24 hours or so between votes, not just each day. I voted late last evening and have tried 3 times today to vote and I get a "Thanks for your vote" screen. I'll try it again this evening when I'm at the 24 hour mark.
Best wishes!

We're slipping a bit from last night, and the Camaro and the 442 have increased their lead. 2nd place is all I can shoot for, and THAT is a looooooooooooooooong shot.

It's all cool. Thanks for the help.

Went to vote one last time and it showed the voting had ended - bummer, I thought it went through today.
Congratulations on your 3rd place finish against some very strong competitors!
