I'm starting a worse looking hybrid contest. Basicly its all about dirty. Right now the northern states have a slight edge with all the snow, but if your down south and your car is all dirty and dusty feel free to enter.

This is not about physical damage.

Rules:

1) 1 entry per car to be uploaded in the share section and linked in this thread. If you have more than one hybrid you can submit one picture for each of them.
2) Only entries are allowed in this thread. No other posts.
3) The contest will end Friday night at a time of my choosing when this thread will be locked.
4) Voting will be held until Sunday night some time (probably late evening)
5) There may or may not be a prize from the greenhybrid store. (I havent decided).
6) There will be a seperate thread for comments. http://www.greenhybrid.com/discuss/w...read.4942.html

Any questions post them in the worst looking hybrid contest discussion thread.

Here's the current state of our little Prius:


(dirt on the hood doesn't show up as well in a small pic, but it certainly isn't white anymore!)


(notice the caked on gunk)

ok, here's my shot.......after getting to work today in our first major snowstorm in a while. i shot it from an upstairs window through the glass, so it's a bit discolored. i like it because you can see all the crud i had just kicked off the wheels, the icicles on the front end and the snow packed on the headlights.



maybe i can sneak in this one too:

Here we go... whaddya think? (Nothing like gobs of road salt residue on a dark grey SUV for sheer "yuck" value...)

Ok - here's mine... if you extended the contest until next week, I'm sure I could compete with SweetBeet but this was just washed last Saturday and no new snow between then and now although more predicted for this weekend.

Ok, being as there was time, I did miss the snowfall pictures where the car was buried, and the dealer washed the car a couple days ago... but this is better than the previous image

I'm trying to get the hood colour to match the bumper... hooray for salted roads...



It might be hard to see, but you can see where the rear drivers side window is partially clean from scraping ice off this morning.



(the rear bumpber is actually dirty here, the flash on our new camera seems to be on the bright side)

This one would have been better if I hadn't washed the rear windshield... who needs to see?

NOOOOOO!!! Red... pinstriping?!?!!1111ONE1!!! You deserve teh win for that alone.

and what, pray tell, is wrong with my pinstriping (by the way there is also a thin line of silver)??? i gotta do SOMETHING with the darn thing......i hate the color. i am going to tint the windows in the spring.....

now i am totally crushed.......

He left just before I had a chance to talk to him or anything. He drove a silver 5-speed Insight just like mine. Difference was one of the rear fenders was missing and the rear bumper had prominent scratches. My guess is it was a second-hand he got a good deal on...

Come to think of it, I'm glad I didn't take a picture of his car - I'm not into embarrasing people that made good choices...

61.5mpg lifetime - 82mpg in recent months

"fanatic" is what the lazy call the dedicated

It's just the red one that doesn't look right, really. Red and silver just don't seem to complement each other well on cars.
