RR of the Day: Show us your whips!
Here's the nitty and the gritty: we need cars, and, for that matter, trucks.
We unabashedly love featuring your vehicles in our Reader Ride of the Day, but alas, our stock has dwindled. Our Flickr pool has slowly been picked apart and there are a limited number of vehicles that we're content with posting for the world to see.
So, here's your one little assignment from your friends at AB: go grab your camera, walk out to your garage, carport, street, whatever, and take three pictures of your ride. Remember, we don't care what the Hell it is. Do we like interesting? Undoubtedly. But we're also obsessed with the mundane and underappreciated. Bring it.
Once you've snapped a few pics, log onto Flickr, follow the directions on submitting your photos to our account (posted after the jump) and then write up a description of the car. Remember, pithy prose, details about mods and tear-jerking stories get our attention. We want to know every detail about your car so we can make an entertaining post out of it.
We want to get 2007 off on the right foot and we've already waited too long to get back into the swing of things, so give us your rusted, your polished, your beaten and your babied. You do that and you may see your ride featured here.
How to submit to RR of the Day:
Create a Flickr account if you don't already have one. Search for and join the group called 'Autoblog RR of the Day'. Upload up to three photos of your ride to your own account at a size no larger than 450 pixels wide if possible and include as much information about it and yourself as possible. Even if your ride is sweet, it will not be chosen if there's not a lot of info accompanying it. Click on each photo and just above the picture it will say "Send to group". Click that and select the Autoblog group. You're done, that's it!

What?!? I posted both my Peugeot 205 GTI from 88 and my Subaru Legacy stationwagon ages ago. Must be a theme to fit at least one of my two pride(s?) and joy(s) right?

Not too sure people really want to see my S-10. Maybe I will post my 66 Mustang.

Rutger - I don't think we saw the Peugeot. Submit it again if you would.

I'll dig up whatever pics I have of my '89 Comanche...unless you really want pics of a 2004 Stratus ES (stock of course...)

Would you be interested in a lightly modded RSX Type-S and/or a '88 Supra Turbo that needs a bit of TLC (and according to my parents, needs to be sold and leave the garage... sad)?

Maybe I'll post some pics of my 2002, though it doesn't look as good as that one above. My WRX would probably seem run-of-the-mill.

I pulled the pics of my Silverado. I was excited about the possibility of a truck week. I'd rather not be featured at all than have my truck used as a fluff piece.
"We unabashedly love featuring your vehicles in our Reader Ride of the Day, but alas, our stock has dwindled.

That's the first time I've ever felt insulted online.

OK, tossed up a few of one of my beasts.
One of these days I'll line up all of them and take some snaps.

Swade - Yeah, we'll take 'em. :)
Brett - Post them both. You'll double the chances of your car getting its 15 minutes of fame.
Jaymez - Sorry to hear that, but you should be aware that we haven't had a lot of truck submissions and we were trying to amass a group of five to do Truck of the Day posts.

love that bug that was posted!... I've driven a few of them into rustdustoblivion with some hilarious stories along the way lol. Frantically scraping ice off the inside of the windshield in a snowstorm.... hitting a big puddle of water and having it crash up through the plywood replacement footwells and soaking everyone in the car with all the windows being up at the time... and then there was that orange superbeetle with the dodgy brakes that caught on fire... those were (almost) the days.... =)
