    Exit polls indicate John will win by approximately 200 votes.

    However, I don't wanna pull a Dan Rather and predict a winner just yet.


    Back to you in the studio, Bob.

    The fact of the matter is they came on here with a goody goody "I'm better then you" attitude and no one here found it particularly humorous. I don't believe we were the first to hunt out their board and go posting with big heads like they did here. There was absolutely no point in any of them comeing here. If by the faint chance someone was cheating, I highly doubt that person would just come on this thread and go "ohh sorry, it was me guys" just because some ricers come on here asking about it. The comments and insults they ended up makeing towards us were far worse then what we said towards them. Things that we said could have been looked at as just a little nudgeing in the ribs like all car guys with difrences in opinions do. They got downright rude and personal, and showed very low class in general. They should have avoided confrontation in the first place.

    I believe it could have been handled better on everyone's part, but they definately dug their hole the deepest.

    Everyone keep voteing. I'm makeing my rounds to rally up the troops. (y)

    Some of them have emailed me and PM'ed me appologizeing. I think one guy was about in tears. Funny how they all had a bad day on the exact same day. Please excuse me if it appears I have very little sympathy for them. ;) :evilsmile Except for one of them. He proved to be a pretty good guy after he had some time to think it over.

    Hey guys, I think next month we should vote WITH the Subaru guys. They want to get this on the front page for December: http://www.dragtimes.com/Other-Scooter-Timeslip-5110.html

    Seeing that on the front page of that site would be the funniest damn thing I've seen in a while. I've got to hand it to those guys, they have one hell of a sense of humor. :lolup: :biglaugh:

    Guess who won. :clap:

    How many forums did we have voteing for us anyways? I had about 6 voteing for us. We must have had 15 or 20 boards pulling for us easily. Maybe even more. Each of them boards easily had 3,000 - 6,000 members. A couple had twice that many. I know a kart racing site I posted at has over 200 members active at any given time. I was really rallying the troops there at the end. (y)

    So I don't understand, did you win? What did you win? Your car is going to be on the front page for the month? That will be cool. Congats John, it is a tough looking car even with the pink:biglaugh: Luv ya man!

    I think "mike" hit it on the head. There is no way they could have put up that kind of fight with the number of people they had compared to the tens of thousands that probably looked at ours. If even half the people that looked at ours voted on it, then we easily won that fair and square. Some people just can't except defeat. I'm one of those people and apparently budfreak is to. :D

    John, your welcome. Your car definately deserves it.
