Yep..., tomorrow, Nov 9th is MY birthday and in honor of it I am giving away one George Foreman grill!!

The person who comes closest to guessing the ACTUAL mileage on my car wins the grill. My car is two years and 10 days old (took delivery on 10-30-02). It's the only car I own, but do not drive to work. I've been to Indy in it, and a couple of trips to Madison Wisc. No other long trips. I use it at night a few times a week for short trips to Walgreens or the grocery store and on weekends to visit the suburbs.

Everyone is eligible to enter with the exception of SergntMac who was in my a car a few weeks ago [sorry Mac].

To enter, post your guess on THIS thread. As a courtesy to others, please review the prior guesses and make yours at least 100 miles apart from the other guesses. One guess per person.

Tomorrow, on the 9th at 3:00 pm central time I will close the contest and announce my mileage and the winner.

good luck!

Okay Rick, since you convinced me to buy my Marauder and I used your negotiation skill to close my deal here in Atlanta 11/15/02, I have developed a formula to calculate your exact mileage.
POKE------------------- White Knuckles
Your only car-------------one of four + motorcycle
Don't drive to work-------Work-----heck, sometimes I think I live in it
Been to Indy-------------Sorry, didn't make it---probably working
No other long trips--------Only long trips and Marauder spends weekends in
--------------------------airport parking lots.

If I remember correctly your last vehicle(jeep grand cherokee) lasted about 10 years and had less than 10k. But you like this one more. You've had your marauder about 2 weeks longer than me.
Today, I'm at 76,663. According to my calculations, you drive 1/10th what I drive and even with a two week headstart-----your mileage on November 9th, 2004 is 7666.3
Happy Birthday :birthday:

See? It's always better to give than recieve. I got me a new best friend, and all it took was a little good will. The big story here, of course, is to learn the history of Slowpoke's family tradition of gift giving on birthdays & such. :)

You want to share the story, Rick?. :beer:

Slowpoke

there is no tradition of giving gifts on your own birthday in MY family. But I figured since it's a happy day for me, why not spread the happiness by doing something zainy and fun.

There are several examples of others giving stuff away on their birthdays... the most notable would be John D. Rockefeller who gave away dimes [that was a long time ago when a dime was actually worth something]. But then again, he was quite an ******* in life, whereas most would agree that I am not.
