Don with the Nitro T-Shirt

Don from Canada, was one of the winners of the Dodge Nitro T-shirt contest that I ran on my blog sometime back.

He finally sent me a picture of him wearing the t-shirt. He also informed me that he's buying a Nitro next year.

Go on over to his blog 'Binary-01' and say Hi!

Think your tuned imported ride is amazing

Join the Import Tuner Ride of the Month contest and you stand a chance of winning a great t-shirt and getting your car featured in Importtuner.com.

The contest starts on 6th of June (next month) this year. Last date of entry is the 22 of June, 2007. Online voting will start immediately after that from 17:30 p.m. PST onwards and ends on the 30th of the same month (till 17:00 p.m. PST).

All you have to do is submit your contest entry and photos of your ride. Images of your car will automatically be resized and/or cropped to a 112x80 Thumbnail and a 400x300 Full Size. Only one entry is limited per person. I guess that's fair. So if you have a few modified cars, choose the one that you think is the most outstanding. Another rule is that you be 18 or older as of 1st of June 2007 with a valid driver's
license to enter or win. Oh! I nearly forgot. This is open to US residents only.

Three top entries will ultimately be selected as the winners of the contest and will have the honour of being featured on the site. Getting featured is a big deal as this site has a 6 Google page rank. Was going through some of the feature articles and I especially liked one on Honda tuning. A guy called Chang was already on the 3rd version of his 2000 Honda S2000 with more modifications expected in the future. I guess it's a hobby, an addiction and a passion for some guys.

In case you didn't know, Import Tuner Cars is a PRIMEDIA publication that focuses on modified / modifying cars imported to the States.

Dodge Nitro T-shirt contest sponsors disappear

I finally realized I was scammed after repeated e-mails to the contact person and the company who sponsored my Dodge Nitro T-shirt contest, remain unanswered.

The winners of the contest will not go empty handed. I have already sent them a t-shirt each from my own 'Auto Enthusiast' online shop. I really apologise for not being able to deliver the promised prizes. This is a big lesson for me.



Read the whole series of events here, right from the start when a lady named Corrie Zielinski contacted me. I later found out that she was the Online Brand Manager of an online advertising company called New Media Strategies.

UPDATE: 5 June 2007
I am really happy to announce that everything turned out great in the end. The whole fiasco was due to e-mail problems.

Winners of the Nitro T-shirt contest

You might recall that I had organised a Nitro T-shirt contest sometime back. I can now finally announce the winners. They are 1. DON (BinaryGuy) and 2. DORIS,

Come back for updates.

Nitro T-shirt contest

I recently got my hands on two Dodge Nitro "Can" t-shirts: one red with long sleeves and another black with short sleeve. Well, I have decided to give them away.

Why do we call it the "can" t-shirts, take a look at the picture below...


The designs



If you would like to get your hands on one of them, read on.

Here are the rules:

1. Write a post describing what you like about the Dodge Nitro (minimum 50 words). It's ok even if you haven't driven it as yet. You can refer to the looks or specs.

2. Add a link to the official Dodge nitro site at (http://www.dodge.com/en/nitro/index.html)

3. Add a link to my blog (http://autolah.blogspot.com) with the key words: "Auto Blog". Optional.

4. Leave a comment here with a link to your post.

That's it.

Oh! I almost forgot:

- The contest will end on the 25th of March 2007.

- The Judge's (ME) decision is final.

- Results will be posted on this blog.

- One winner, one t-shirt. Meaning that there will be two winners.



For your information, the Dodge Nitro is an SUV from the Dodge division of DaimlerChrysler and is due for launch in Europe soon. It's the first time Dodge-branded cars will be sold in Europe.

UPDATE: The winners of the contest are BinaryGuy and Doris Chua.
