Here it is driving on the back of a dam. I was a litttle afraid to go farther, it doesn't like mud.

post a picture of your ride being towed or towing another vehicle. At least two wheels need to be off the ground.

Does the other vehicle need to be a 4 wheeled vehicle?

Has to be a vehicle, motorcycle on trailer would be ok, pedal bike on a truck not so much.

Damnit. Well I'm still posting it for pure "You have a trailer hitch on *that*?" effect.

A picture of your car in front of a brewery/distillery. Please include a branded can/bottle/glass/shot of the featured alcoholic beverage in the photo (either on, in or in front of your car). Homebrew doesn't count

NEXT CHALLENGE: Pretend you're a railfan! Get a photo of your car with the locomotives pulling a FREIGHT train. Passenger isn't my thing.

Edit: Stationary train is permissible, but it still needs to be freight and include the locomotives!

2 images to show its moving. Does "OMG its a freight train grab a picture for the challenge!" out the window picture count? If so...

Find something interesting more than 20 miles away from both home and work/school (aka something you went out of your daily path to get to)

Featuring a copy of Gaiman's American Gods that I actually purchased from a library sale.

NEXT CHALLENGE: Let's get real juvenile with it. Take a photo outside of a place that has a suggestive or double entendre-type name (Dicks, Hooters, etc).

BONUS CHALLENGE: if the person to win this challenge does so by taking a photo outside of a KUM & GO convenience store, I will buy you a forums upgrade certificate of your choice or an avatar certificate (sorry non-midwesterners, but you can still win the main challenge)

drat you.
non submission:

There's a dicks around the corner, I just don't have time to go grab a picture.

Was gonna go back to my previous challenge, because interesting things are interesting.

NEXT CHALLENGE: Show us your vehicle being used as it was meant! Minivan filled with kids, Ducati at Starbucks, Jeep on a 4x4 trail, sports car at the track.

I've been wanting to do the same challenge, but excluding boring commuter type categories.

Kudos.

What could possibly be more used for intended purpose other than a Subaru Liberty wagon hauling poo poo, other than a Forester hauling lesbians? Sorry, aint got no lesbians so the Liberty hauling poo poo has to do

It's own engine with a blown headgasket. How Subaru is that?

CHALLENGE : Matt Criibabi response was so loving good that I had to think of a logical progression. Find a romantic spot and propose marriage to your car in the most romantic way possible over dinner / lunch / picnic / grease and oil change / whatever sick and twisted manner you can come up with

That seems more like storage than hauling. Unless it's moving under it's own power with the engine in the back.

Along those lines I really wish challenges were weekly. I don't bother 80% of the time because I know it will get filled before I can get back from a trip out to take a picture.

Its this one. That ought to do. Fun place to see. I missed it on my first sweep, so I got to spend 20 minutes walking around Folsom and seeing a few other ones.

Let's see some pretty views. Lakes, rivers, ocean, cliffs, valleys... something natural to take my breath away :siren:

Greetings from the municipal swimming pool! The rock shower house was built during the depression as a WPA project. It's kinda neat. The pool itself is about 20 years old.

Challenge: It's also summer here and head indices were around 105 f/40c the last few days. Take a photo of your ride at an ice cream stand/shop. Treat yourself to something if you're so inclined! OR if you're in the southern hemisphere/some place where it's winter or cold, show me something chilly!

I'll get this one in a couple hours if its not done before then.

Edit: damnit. Stopped but forgot pics.

I think I'd prefer a format where it wasn't first to post wins, but maybe needs a couple votes to declare a winner and get the next challenge.

If anyone is still interested in playing the game, this should be a fairly easy one. I guess in the same vein of the date-your-car theme. Tell me why you love your car. Is your car beautiful? Do you hate seeing your significant other drive it away, but you love to watch it go? Is it rusty around the edges, but has a certain charm to it? We're car people. Tell me why your wife/husband gets jealous when you look at your car. Write me a sonnet about how the sound of the muffler scraping the road as you drive is like a bird singing on a spring morning. Why are you insane about your automobile, goon?

That seems.... difficult...to do in a picture thread.

It's been two weeks. How long do you normally give the challenges that aren't working out so well?

Short answer: too long.

Somebody post a picture, *any* (car) picture, and make up a challenge the next person can easily do.

Hell, if your girlfriend is a blow up sheep that would have been acceptible. Suggesting horrific or funny should be enough to suggest no one actually go out and find a brolly bird but you know... make something up?

Remember you are talking about goons. Low bars are still hurdles to jump over.

CHALLENGE: Find a heavily modified version of your car. If yours is modified, find a stock one. Take a photo of them together as a before / after set.

I can't believe it took me this long to find a modified F-150. I see plenty of them, but not stopped or where I could take a picture. I'm on the moto half the time these days.

Wheels, tires, lift, brush guard. Not the bro-ish of bro-trucks, but should qualify. Even if its not the challenge winner.
