Alright folks, I have collected 50 "You might drive an RX-8 if..." sayings. The top 8 voted will make it onto the shirt.


Instructions:
Please post up your top 8 picks, in order of your own personal ranking.
Use the number next to the saying as the reference.


Voting will be open until Sunday, 3/25 at 12pm. At that time, I will determine the top 8 based upon everyone's votes.


I hope to have the shirts ready for purchase within a week after that.

Are those in the order that you like them, or just numerical order?

Does that include voting for #1 twice?

ahhh I see what happened with the double "1" ... there was supposed to be a "1" and a "12"

24, 48, 1, 7,12, 47, 42, 37

Sorry, the last 2 weeks have been 7am-8pm work days and by the time I post at night my brain is Fucked..

 

Then they will be weighted in that order.

 

So for those of you that decided to not actually rank your top 8 (I know, directions are hard to follow), they will be weighted in the order you provided them. Each position has a value to it, so placing them in order of your personal preference does matter. If your favorite one is last in numerical order, it may not get enough "points" to make the top 8 for the shirt.

So go back and edit your posts if need be. Voting closes at noon CST this Sunday.

 

Do you have an 8th vote? You only listed 7.

 

voting closes in 12 hrs! hurry up and cast your vote!!!

 

Thank you to the 12 people that participated in voting for this year's shirt entries. I hope to have the shirts available for purchase in about a week (this will be dependent on our sponsors as well).
