    It's a week long process... The award is given to the top vehicle of the week.

    Right now, I am at 106 and the closest competitor is at 9 votes.

    Also found another great feature... Doesn't work on PC for some reason, but if you are on Mac, or apple products, you can vote anytime after someone else has voted. I just did a series of votes... first with my Macbook and then with the iPhone then back to the MacBook... I continued this for a few minutes... I am now up to 720 votes!!! 8) 8) 8)

    Rumors are flying that I called the office of the President of the University of Tennessee and everyone at UT is fighting for the chance to vote for a car with Block T flags! 8) 8) 8)

    Fellow members,,, Someone started a "bot" that put up 329 votes in 8 seconds before the system detected it and shut it down.

    If you look, I now have 6 votes.

    I was slammed from 2187 votes down to Zero. I am now back up to 6.

    I was told that voting as many times as you can is allowed. But any attempt to automate votes will result in a loss of votes.

    Please do not start a bot if you know how to do so.

    I was vote #7. There is one car with more votes, 217 to be exact. We have a long road to go, but we can do it.

    Flippin SEC.. can't do anything without cheating ;)

    btw, you're at 10.

    And no, I was not the bot guy.. but I could be if you want to. Someone wasn't very smart about that. You can program a bot to register a vote every 4 minutes continuously through the contest. (this is also how you know it wasn't me).

    What a crock. You are now at 22 votes.

    I'll keep voting but suspect they will not let you win.

    But let's make sure there are a lot of votes anyway.

    Actually Bill, they know it was not me that set up the bot. The IP address it came from is located far from where my votes originated. I was sooooooo pissed, I told them to pull my car from their site. They told me that they were going to reinstate some of my votes at the end of the week. They would not say how many. I have not been disqualified because they know it was not me that did it.
