Sorry about that. We did not make the rules. I am sure you know someone in the states. Just use their address.

If I remember correctly, the car is valued at $75K. Think of the taxes you'll have to pay before you enter.

In most contests with huge giveaways the winners usually sell the items to pay the taxes and reap atleast some rewards.

Like that dream home giveaway show one person tried to keep the house and ended up loosing everything + some.

Probably not. It will be left available in the archives. Is there some reason you feel this must be removed?

It was some guy from Alabama. I don't remember his name. He came on here for info about the car. And as I predicted in an earlier post, he was having problems with the IRS and taxes. The IRS was valuing it at the listed price. We never heard about the final outcome.
Here is the previous thread about the car. https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...ighlight=amoco
The guy that won it post was #17
