The Garage Blog

Been following "The Garage" lately. Great car enthusiast info. Watched all of the "Big Bad Buick" video from Panamerica Carrera.

Today some great Mosport video.

Contest Whore

OK I admit it. I am an online contest whore (or addict - pick your favourite metaphor). My first positive online contest experience - I won an autographed Clapton/B.B. King guitar in a promotion for their "Riding with the King" album (details here). Eventually I sold the guitar  -- the sale sponsored a trip for Pat and I to California to a race in Laguna Seca in 2001 (where I met a very young Patrick Scoble with his father), purchased an Ernie Ball guitar for Matt and I am not sure what for Catherine.

Since then I have entered many online contests and won a few - mostly Blue Jays and other tickets, occasional product sample packages -- once a $500 certificate for shoe purchase and most recently a trip to Paris for the launch of the Gregory Charles album.

A few tips:

  • I find contests at contest sites and every where I go -- I am on the net a lot.
  • I supply a throwaway email address just in case there is some leakage to spammers (though I have yet to experience such a leakage as far as I know)
  • I rarely enter contests that require pin numbers, UPC codes, submission of photos, videos or essays -- just too much trouble
