ParticipantPointless Prize: Vehicle ABCs
Rules:
1. Find and photograph the below ABC vehicles WHILE on a bike ride. Some are easy to find and others will not be.2. Bike does not have to be in the photo, but please only submit photos of vehicles found on a bike ride.. Be safe!!! Photos do not have to be in your Strava feed but more people know how to use Strava. Use HASHTAG #abc in your Strava Ride Title to appear on the FS2023 #abc leaderboard. I will try to keep track here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DrZ93VMgxUtp69obUF9P8sBxnKOcHDqolE5Ohq1awWY/edit?usp=sharing3. Post to the forum (directly or through Tapatalk–hope you are better at that than I am). Photos [low resolution please] must be posted in order A-Z (so that means if you find a Kia on day 1 of your search, it behooves you to wait and post it after you find the vehicles for “A” through “J”
4. Posts must have the photos labeled with the correct letter(s) in order. You may post all 26 at once in order or post in order over time (one or several at a time). Only one photograph allowed per letter. [low resolution please]
Examples to clarify #3 rule: Cannot post “B” vehicle before “A” vehicle is found or you won’t be able to post A. If you post the letter J vehicle but did not post a G, H, and I, you cannot go back (ie incentive to wait to post until you find all letters).
5. CREATIVITY POINTS will be used to break any ties. Here is how to get an extra point or more. You may find the 4+ wheel vehicle (sometimes you will be offered options) OR you may photograph a non-4+-wheel vehicle for a particular letter entry. For example, you see a Hot Air Balloon and prefer to submit that over the “A” is for Ambulance entry. You may do that instead of the Ambulance, but you cannot post that photo for more than one letter (have to find something else for the H and B entries). In other words, get creative but do not post a photo of a different car, SUV, van, truck than that listed.
Game is over on Saturday, March 11. All posts to the forum must be by Saturday, March 11 at 11:59 pm.
PRIZES: the car of your choice!

ParticipantHaha, I think I’ll try to get a creative bonus for my B.
B is for bogus Mini Cooper:[ATTACH=CONFIG]29368[/ATTACH]
I found this on the shelf at the 7/11 rest stop and took the picture just in case I didn’t find a ‘larger size’ model. I eventually found a real one (and took that picture), but I’ll hope you have a sense of humor and I at least get credit for this.

I live out in the burbs of MD and see those Black Gov’t vehicles quite often.
You are much better than I. I’m lucky enough to remember one car per day.

I see them in my daily driving for work all over the DMV. Just not out here in Loudoun County. There’s one DHS building nearby. I figure that’s my best chance.
