Hello everyone, I was wondering if you could take 5 minutes to really give me a big help!

(Sorry if you've seen this a million times, I'm sooo close to winning.)

I've entered my malibu into the 'Texaco Car of the Decades' online car show. The grand prize is a trip to Skip Barber Driving School, and I'm trading blows with a plain, stock VW beetle for the top spot overall. I'm kind of hoping to win this show so I can take my dad to Skip Barber as a big 'thank you', now that my car is all finished.

So please, if you have time, I would appreciate it if you could vote for me! The registration takes a minute, and you can choose to not hear from Texaco ever again.

The main story of my car is that this was a father-son build for the past 7 years, its been a show car for the past few years, and we just took it to the track for the first time this past weeked. I was still learning, so the runs aren't anything too impressive, but there is a lot of potential in this car. Just have to settle some suspension issues to fix its launch problems. Not to mention I have some driver issues to correct as well. :eyes:

But here's a link to the show - please, I need your vote!!!

Voted. No 2 door Malibu deserves to lose to a VW Beetle.
