Default Photo Contest - Win a 1:18 scale 996 model

Hey all - I'm doing some spring cleaning and came across a fairly nice Burango 1:18 scale model (die cast) of a silver 996 narrow-body coupe. Doors and both lids open and close. Since my 996 is black it is up for grabs. I thought it would be fun (for me) to have a contest to find its new owner.

The contest: Post a photo of your vehicle. I will pick a winner (taking into account any comments from the peanut gallery) based on (in this order) entertainment value, artistic value, and how close your car matches the model. That winner will get this model, absolutely free, in the mail to any continental US address. Contest closes when it runs out of steam.

Good luck.

Alright, I'll play.

I have a narrow body C2 Coupe in Artic Silver. It even had the matching pumpkins on when I first bought the car.

See my avatar. My car looked exactly like the model at purchase. At 20K I developed an RMS leak. I asked them to fix it. I didn't realize that RMS also stands for Reconfigure My Sunroof. I think it looks OK. You?

The contest: Post (on this thread) photographic proof that you own a similar (but full-sized) vehicle. I will pick a winner (taking into account any comments from the peanut gallery) based on (in this order) entertainment value, artistic value, and how close your car matches the model. That winner will get this model, absolutely free, in the mail to any continental US address. Contest closes when it runs out of steam.

Rennlist points deducted for not having done any mods... a case of winning a car, but losing all credibility on this forum.
