RX8 is a 10-best Winner!

Got word a few weeks ago I'd won 10-best Beautiful Readers' Rides photo contest with Car and Driver. Some time later I got word they'd pulled the page to sell to advertising.

As a consolation, they sent me a copy of how the page would have looked in January's Edition, and a C&D T-Shirt.





Here's the original:

How is that pontiac even competing? Wait, how can you tell it's even a car?!?!?

I see the new tag line for Pontiac "It's so beautiful we have to hide it"...er wait, did something happen to them? I seem to remember something somewhere....


Pic looks awesome, pre and post. Gratz!

Congrats! Too bad the article got axed for advertising in these hard magazine times. Glad to see that you got a copy of it so you can post it for posterity.

Agree the Pontiac pic is weak.

That's GREAT! Too bad C&D are money hungry capitalists and sold you out for an Advertisement.
