Yes, please. I was just posting a pic of some 'workers' standing around. Everything is political or racial nowdays... Who needs it ?

+++

Moving on, Grandma and Grandpa have some pretty cool cars. I like Grandpa's the best.

+++

Just went through the thread and gathered all pictures so far ... 495 entries. :party:

Unfortunately there are rules...

Rule # 5) Picture size must not exceed 640 x 480 pixels, larger pics will not be considered. Larger pics slow page loading for everybody else. Some folks didn't follow rule #5 and of course we can't consider those entries.

I personally vote for no more political talk. It will just turn the thread into hate. :2c: :peace:

Then again I'm a dirty hippie. :lol:

Agreed. The only time I get really frustrated with my friends is their ignorance toward political and world wide issues. So thats why I just don't even start. And we're all friends, so no need to have some political debate. Though we probably mostly lean toward the left.

More classic cars to come! :D

I tried to tell people! I saw so so many larger than allowed. :(

Here's another classic, though no too classic. Technically, the Model A is an antique :)
1980 Camaro Z28. Thing's fast. :o Belongs to my Uncle.

You have 5 days to edit your entries. Last warning.

It doesn't matter how much we like a picture.

Just a little surprising math I did quick, there has been 53 pictures in the last 12 days, 53/12=~4.4, so 4.4/day. The contest is from June 11 to Sept 5, 86 days. 86x4.4=~378. That means if things keep up the way they have been (which I bet it will just become more active) by Sept 5th, Tom and Pammy will have ~378 pictures to judge! :o You two are going to have your work cut out for you!

495! :o Wow was I off. :lol: even with -46.

Beetle is next. ;)

495 total entries, minus 46 DQs, but we hope most of those get edited.

Pammy just sat with me while I fanned through about half of them, she kept saying :o wow, so she is going to have a hard time judging the categories. There may be more categories added as she goes through them... It's strictly up to her. The grand prize will be awarded randomly from all qualified entries.

+++

'64 (6 Volt), '67, '68, and a 70 Beetle not in that order, but never a drop top. Would like to have one again, to work on, but they want a crazy price these days. All mine were $500 or less...

Yeah, it is a 67 convertible that belongs to my Aunt. She was given it by her awesome parents when she turned 16. (grandparents currently have two Caddies, two Model T's, one Model A, and a Willy's pick up in the classic/antique categories, they had to get rid of a few beautiful cars over the years though. Damn economy.) We are very into classic cars/Harley's. Grandfather owned a Harley shop in North Hampton NH.

Jack of all trades, master of none.
I hope none of mine are in that bunch. I've been using tinypic.com and always use the message board (640x480) setting or smaller. That's a lot of pics but fairly decent odds for winning. Can't wait to see who the lucky winner is! :cool:

Yeah I think those who posted just about every day have a good chance. Maybe even 10-20% Think 86 days, 495 (449 right now) entries, If someone posted 70 days out of 86, 495/70 (449/70) = ~7 (~6.5). an about 1/7 (1/6.5) chance, or ~14% (~15%) chance. :o So exciting!!! Good luck everyone!

Wow! Way too much math for me. :lol: I was never very good at it.
Well it is flawed as the # of pictures was counted today not on the 5th, but it is about the # of your pictures as opposed to the # of all pictures.
Lets see, just counted 54 for me, currently, and currently there are 495 or (449). So you take 495 (449) and divide that by your # of current pictures, 54 for me. 495/54 or (449/54) = ~9 (~8).
Take that # and make it a fraction, 1/9 or (1/8) and put that next to ?/100. By the laws of cross multiplying 1x100 should equal 9 (8) x ?. To find ? you must divide 100 by 9 (8). Which equals ~11 (12.5).
So for me, my current chances are 11% (12.5% if nobody fixes their pictures). I never liked math, but I was quite good at it. :lol:

Simplified if you are a very frequent person in the contest you have a 10-maybe 20% chance. :brow:

The places a thread can go - jumping from salvia to terroists? :lol:

With only 500 entries the odds are quite good for someone who has been posting all summer.

Shame I got such a late start...

A pic of a Zap in a PD thread? I think that's a first, eh?

I was inspired by some of the posters in this thread, so I vaked a stem and went to try my hand. And well... forgot to go to the proper thread before posting. I did vake a stem first. :lol: Whoops. Sorry for the kerfluffle.

There's so many good photos from various participants. This was a great contest; Pammy definitely has her work cut out for her however I think it will be fun for her designating categories.
My first car was a '65 Biscayne which was like an Impala. Had a '72 Lemans, a '77 Nova. Great cars, all of them. Those days are over as we move more toward Jetsons type pods.

Then again I'm a dirty hippie. :lol:

I like political discussions... have them with my friends too sometimes, since half of my friends are rightwing and the other half leftwing, sometimes we jokingly call eachother names for it(for example 'kakker' for the rightwing, kakker is a deragotory term for rich people, but litterally it means 'person who poos/shits', and my rightwing friends like to talk woth a rich accent to eachother and make moneyjokes, abd I think for the leftwing half of my friends it's mostly 'sloeber'or so, wich is a term for poor person, and most often used deragotory)
and I've had a lot of political discussions with friends and strangers and hate is seldom, the only case I can remember was on another stonerforum mostly visited by americans, and talking about politics was already(and still is) prohibted there(there was some rightwingextremist who posted pics with american flags etc under every post and who wasn't well informed about the situation over here, grouping all nof europe together and using socialist like it's a curseword, and he couldn't handle it when I reacted to hm with my opinion and som info on what socialism actually is and the actual political situation here, and he was banned)
maybe it's culture tough, I've often noticed that on forums I know that are visoted by a lot of americans often politics are avoided and if political discussion appears it's often negative and quickly results in mudslinging, while on dutch forums I know political talk is pretty common, and almost never results on negatibe situations

now I think of it, it could very well be due to political culture
here in the netherlands we have more parties as in america, and here one party never gets enough seats to rule alone, so parties always have to work together to form a coalition(at this moment we have a minoritygovernment with support of a third party wich isn't offixcially in the coalition, and this third party differs in opinion woth the coalition on some subjects so on these subjects the coaliton has to do even more effort to talk to other parties to reach compromises as usually)
so during elections, parties can never atack eachother to hard or they risk being isolated in the coalitionforming after the elections, votes are nice but without some goodwill from the pther parties you'll still wind up in the opposition
parties here are expected to compromise(the sp, socialist party, suddenly ganed a lot of seats in the national elections before last elections, but they couldn't reach an agreement with other parties to form a coalition and afterwards they got a lot of critique that they should have compromised more)

while in america you only have 2 parties so always one is in charge, and I think that means mudslining is more common in the elections(at least that's the image we get over here, a lot of mudslinging and playing on the person, playing dirty etc)
so that would mean that mudslining could rub off on the supporters of those parties

just a theory tough...
and unfortunatly we are moving in that direction too, it used to be common that both centerparties, the centerright and centerleft, were both in the coalition, but now with the rise of geert wilders(a populist with a big mouth wich he likes to use, and he gets a lot of attention for calling names during politic debates, bashing on muslims etc), mudslinging and cxalling names also becomes more frequent here, and our present coalition is the centerright and right party with support from wilders' farright-party(and this time the right party is the biggest instead of the centerright one, before the centerright and centerleft were always the 2 biggest parties, one time one bigger other time the other, and the 3rd party was often the right party but not always)

...but I'm keeping a kind of long story about politics that are probably not relevant to most of you since you don't live in the netherlands(altough I wouldn't mind learning more about US politics, since I'm most familliar woth dutch politics so I always like learning how it is somewhere else, that some things I always saw as 'vanzelfsprekend' (speaking for itself), aren't that commmon afterall)

Maybe its best to start a new general political discussion in the Lounge djonkman? I would guess that political discourse is welcome by many here though maybe via a more focused channel like a dedicated thread. It is interesting to hear about contemporary European politricks though :D

Nice pics everyone. Hard to believe the contest is almost over! Good luck to everyone and Pammy who has the really tough job it seems.

Check out oldbug dot com if you want to see how much classic VWs are going for these days, it's insane. A few years ago, I had a '66 (6-volt with original black and yellow California plates) I bought off an old man here in Southern California, turned around and sold for about 10 times what I paid for it.

Sorry for the derail. Back to PD talk!
