Contest

We are asking members to submit a story on a particular topic.  This is not a writing contest; it is a story contest.  Don’t worry about misspelled words or weak grammar. We will choose the story based on the entertainment value of its content.

Rules

Submit a story, based on the title “My First TriFive and why I chose it”.  We are not interested in who you had in the back seat of your car or what you did there. We want to hear your best car story -- burning rubber, breaking down or just the sound of a rough idle of a 283 with a 30:30 cam in it. You can stretch the truth as you see fit, but remember there are a lot of car guys here and if you tell me you had a small block running 2000 horsepower.... well, you get the idea.

Some of the younger guys and gals won't remember much about cruising between the A&W and the Frosty Freeze, or hanging out at the drive-in movie -- for that I am sorry, you missed a great time in American history.  However, we probably all know what it is like to sit behind the wheel or in the passenger seat of a car that gets attention.  The feeling of the first time our car got second gear rubber, or the time a throttle was actually stuck -- “Really Officer Derby, it must have caught on my new carpet.”   

Many of us remember what it was like to work all week on your car and sometimes bypass a few of the things that didn’t work, like front brakes or the throttle return spring. Or, what it was like to be seen downtown in that red 57, or that 55 with the tunnel ram and dual quads sticking so far through the hood you couldn’t see around them?  How great we thought our cars looked in primer brown or gray or a combination of both.  How about the car that looked like it would fall apart -- blowing oil, knocking, wouldn’t idle but it was cool because of the chrome reverse rims and cheater slicks?

Please adhere to the rules of the site, keep it clean.  I reserve the right to edit your stories in content and form before posting it in the newsletter.

The winner of the contest will be rewarded with a $50.00 gift certificate for the Official TRI-Five Store.
