RE: Congratulations! Your Garmin Garage entry was selected!
So I just got this email in my inbox. Since you are all my friends and I could not remember everyones email address I figured you might like to read it.
With all of the finalists selected, now it’s time to vote! Each person gets one vote, so you need to choose wisely. As soon as you make your selection, you’ll be able to see live voting results. And you can keep checking back to see how your entry is doing.
Be sure to send this link to all of your friends, family and colleagues so that they can help your entry become a downloadable icon on Garmin’s devices.
Sincerely,
The Garmin Garage Team
Copy and paste the following link into e-mails to friends, family and colleagues:
I know that some of you are super stars on other sites besides this one. How about putting in a good word for the turtle and see if we can get him back up to number one.
Thanks, now that is a dedicated member. I almost forgot that it is by computer so we can hit our home and work computers
Maybe Miss POI can leave this thread at the front of the website somewhere just during the contest? I think anything that may get more people to the voting booths may help!
Maybe it is like the real tortoise vs the hare race where the turtle falls behind but ends up winning the race at the end?
Hey Paul...
I voted for you.........
Great design..
Hope you win

POI-Factory member "PaulATL" is a finalist in The Garmin Garage Wrench ‘n’ Win Contest, wouldn't it be nice to have a Garmin Car Designer winner from right here in our own community!
There is power in numbers, and we sure have the membership numbers to push Paul's entry over the top. there are more than 80,000 of us.

The turtle is gaining some speed again. He's back up to 8%. He only has 4 more contestants to beat. Maybe with some more members' help, he can catch up and eat the pizza slice for some extra power There's only two days left.
They had only 17% votes last night at 10pm then by 8am this morning it jumps to 28%?? (like 2000 people voted last night?) I didn't see any anchovies on the slice but that seems fishy!

Oh well, it was a good try. I'm still surprised that the slice of pizza beat out the wingman and jamster. It seemed like there were no votes for it until late Sat. But 2000 people voted last night pretty much all for the pizza? (18%-28% jump)

How did a slice of pizza even qualify for participation? Stupid. Is it possible that clearing cookies or going through one of the anonymous surfing proxy servers would allow multiple, perhaps continuous voting?

I don't think having a new ip address works. I'm on dsl and every time I connect I get a new ip address. I logged off and logged back into my dsl connect and try to vote again but it would not let me.
Using VMWare did work by resetting your session each time you wanted to vote but I just couldent do that.. that is cheating and well Being a admin, i also know that the IP would show up each time on there log and I wouldnt want to disquify anyone by doing that..

I vote easiest one to produce. It never occurred to me about a pizza delivery vehicles icon. Maybe it's a repeat of the Florida re-count voting process
Hey Paul....
The heck with the Garmin vote. I vote you put the turtle/Rabbit design as your picture here on this site. Remove your car for awhile.
Besides only pizza delivery people will use the pizza design on their GPS. lol
