March 2012 FRF Raptor of the Month Contest -- That Hoopdie--

[Yukon Joe]

A late entry...

I didn't even think I was going to try and enter the contest, then today day I saw it. What a beauty. All I had to do is get my truck parked next to it and post the photo to the contest... But I was at work and had all this other **** to do. Finally, a break in the action and an open parking spot. I grabbed the camer and keys. Ran out moved the truck and wham! Got the pic that could win it all!!!

Now that I'm stuck at work past hours, I thought "heck, might as well log in and post the pic". I get here and see the contest is already rolling... DOH!!!

Anyway - for everyone's enjoyment. Here the blue beauty next to a real rat of a hooptie (and a nuc plant in the background to boot )

LOL! That thing is hideous, if not already voted for rapta you'd get my vote!

Damn, but thanks anyway! He had a good entry as well. You know what they say, the early bird gets the worm.

Lol that video is hilarious. I kept playing the monty python chase music in my head....

Lol I should add that!

Gotta love the "bull bar" on the Zebra fart coffin.
Hard choice between Zebra n 4x4 chevelle.

I'm down in the Springfield area

Since we're allowing people into the contest a full day late (see the date on Humvee21's vid), we should clear all the votes; add 012BlueSVT's entry; officially extend the contest for a couple more days to allow others to do the last minute scramble - and start the poll over again. It's only fair!

By the way, although I submitted an entry this month, I have not voted yet. Will wait to see if this turns out to be an honest contest (conducted within the parameters of the stated rules) or if its gonna turn out to be another Florida Presidential Election.

LoL.... Zebra fart coffin.. That thing seriously makes my day everytime I see it.

The bar kills me... Even the Zebra Fart coffin has me beat there though.. haha.. I keep picturing it actually hittin somethin with that.... Kind of like when a kid runs a remote control 4x4 into your foot. The destruction!!

Anyway, some pretty funny hoopties posted up in here. Good contest idea, wish there were more entries!!

I saw a lot of rides like Humvee's entry, when I was out in South Beach miami.. a mixture of expensive exotics and then... whatever you call that garbage rollin around on retro satelite dishes... lol (PS - that stalker video is hillarious - - I think in his shoes I'd have lead you into a back road to see wtf I was bein tailed for.. lol)

I recently spotted a Lifted subaru STI done up like whta's entry too... Local ride, Didn't have a camera though. Shame. I kinda actually like the one whta posted though.... lol I'd rock it.

I'd kinda like to have an over the top hooptie just for laughs. Should go put a lift on the mini van and toss up a ridiculous paint job and some spinners or something.

I love that old truck that got posted though... if that's a hooptie, I want a hooptie. need to make that a project truck! Be a shame to let it go to waste, especially if theres some sentimental value to it.

Should do a movie themed vehicle contest too.. Theres some cool ones out here.. An ecto-1 (Ghost busters) Mystery machine (Scoobie van) A-team van, and a couple deloreans.

I could probably get my Raptor in a shot with the delorean if my buddy hasn't sold his yet

True, but it's not a big deal to me. I mostly wanted to just share the pic and be a participant in the contest (I don't mind being behind). I was lucky enough to have Raptizzle let me still enter the contest, while the rules clearly stated the entries would end on the 15th. Just for the sake of fairness, if I win... let the next man have it. I didn't meet the deadline, but it certainly was fun playing the game!

Yeah, we call them donk cars haha. I'm lucky there are no dark alleys here I tried to keep my distance but I was too excited to get the pic... That's why you see me pull over and wait for him to enter the building before I catch the prey.. LOL

This wasn't a ding on you brother. Loved your entry and the video was pretty cool too! All I'm saying is if they let you in late, they should also let others in late.

i also submitted a late photo during the January contest "Dusk till Dawn", and only threw it on the forum to share the photo, so I know where you're coming from.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents!

^ Understood! I guess the 16th was just national hoopdie day lol

Donk eh? too funny. I couldn't do that to a potentially nice car.. Definately not something you could find out here in Vancouver. First time I ever saw one was when I went out to South Beach, and then again when I went out to Vegas for SEMA. (not including internet photos of course) I think the local pot holes would demolish those rims though.

haha, yeah I cracked up when you pulled over in the parking lot. I knew you were waitin on them to park and go shopping lol. I like how we got to see the whole thing play out... from the cat & mouse, the wait, and then you roll up for the kill n walk out for the snap.. Well played sir.

012BLUESVT is in the game!

Regarding the rules and what's fair and what's not fair... I made the executive decision to include the late comers. They are already at a disadvantage as the biggest wave of votes do come in on the first day. Since they're late to the party, they miss out on that wave. Seems like a fair tradeoff to me.

It's all in the name of fun and a little friendly competition.
