Surprising Newegg promo email
This is what I saw when looked at the latest Newegg promo email they sent...

RX-8 depicted as dream car... not a bad choice

Here is the whole page (until it expires):

Who doesn't need a spare RX-8?

I think I'd take the BMW. If it was a R3 I'd go with the 8 but the Beemer makes for a better DD and has better resale.

choice of one
(1) standard equipped 2009 Mazda RX-8 Touring Coupe,
2009 BMW 1 Series 128i Coupe (manual transmission only) or
2009 Volkswagen GTI 2.0T Coupe (ARV$30,000).

Interesting
2009 RX-8 as daily driver and the other RX-8 with turbo as track monster!
AHHH!

I can't believe they put the 128 over the 135. Lame!

Guys, Newegg is a big piece of wonderful. But these sweepstakes are designed to get valid names and addresses for marketing purposes.. Do you really want MORE crap in your mailbox??

Good thing my hotmail is set to "Only whitelist gets through to inbox". I only get about 5 junkmail a day, so it's not so bad.

It says it's expired...
"We are sorry, this promotion has expired."

But last time I checked, there were only 8 winners out of 10 prizes. Now we don't know who won the car...=/
