Contest is open to anyone that posts with their name and a valid email addy. 
membership not required, but I reserve the right to bombard such a winner with Club info! 
Offered here is the winner's choice of either one of two different Stratosphere $4 Drop-Chips. This scan shows a representation of the chips.
I am trying to keep this contest objective (as opposed to the more subjective Caption Naming Contests) and not available via a Google search, as it levels the playing field to anyone that reads and posts here (sans a Troll) making fair to all.
This contest will close at 9:00 pm, (Mountain Time) Monday 26 January, 2009. All entries MUST appear as part of this thread, or a follow-on thread posted by me.
This is the challenge... Basically, guess the total miles on the odometer of my daily driver, a 1989 Honda Civic DX. By way of clues, I provide the following history. Bought in 1991 from a family member, the car was a daily driver in the Silicon Valley area from Cupertino to San Jose. I then used it as a daily driver in the Los Angeles area (West Hills to Canoga Park) until 1995. In 1995 it transitioned to Tucson, AZ (by me) and was used as a daily driver for a couple years from Sabino Canyon to the Tucson Airport area. In 1997 the car was loaned to my daughter who used both in Tucson for a while and then moved it to Encino, California for a couple of years. In 2005 the car was returned to me in Tucson and it sat un-used for 2 years when the engine was blown. Just over a year ago I had another engine put in and it is again my daily driver (Sabino Canyon/Airport).
While the odometer has rolled over once, it has not rolled over twice. Tomorrow night when I return to Tucson, I will be driving it home (from the airport) and then to/from work on Monday and that will set the mileage for this contest!
The fine print... As noted above, valid entries require a real name and a valid email addy. Please try not to post as a reply to someone elses entry, as this contest will permit changing your mind! In doing so, just re-post under your first entry with a new guess. The most current guess will be counted. Note also, any guess MUST be in the Title of the reply post.
Well, I think that covers it! Opps, one more tidbit, going over the mileage matters not, as this is a who ever comes the closest contest. If there is a tie, then the earliest post will win.
And lastly, if the winning guess is with 10 miles (either side) of the actual total, then the winner will receive BOTH chips!!!!! Use whole numbers only.
Lets have some fun!
Jim
