Default Support Corvette - URGENT

Forbes.Com is running a poll "Favorite New Car" and it seems Ford has attempted to stage a coup putting the Mustang artificially ahead of the Corvette by e-mailing their employees to vote. Corvette lovers unite and Vote!

Cast your vote for the Corvette at: <http://www.forbes.com/lifestyle/vehi..._0913feat.html>

Pass this on Fast to every Corvette lover that you know.


---- Forward Message ----

The Attached mail was forwarded to me this morning by someone from Ford. I do not consider this playing fair. Maybe you want to do something about this...

Subject: FW: Which is Your Favorite New Car?

ATTENTION: WCIT MEMBERSHIP
Forbes.com is conducting an online poll titled, "Which is Your Favorite New Car?" The Corvette is kicking Mustang's rear end. We can't let that happen.
Send everyone you know to

<http://www.forbes.com/lifestyle/vehicles/2004/09/13/cx_dl_0913feat.html> to vote for Mustang.
Thanks.
