Last year in Vegas John, Jen and I came up with the idea of holding a contest to get a CarDomain member to join as at SEMA in 2008. When we got back to Seattle, we pitched the idea to the guys in Ad Sales. They loved it, and so did Castrol, and so now we have this cool little Castrol Syntec's Power 32 contest. The thing is, when we first conceived of this, we were thinking "designated driver" and "gopher." Somehow the Ad Sales guys heard "VIP status." What does that mean, exactly? I guess it means you get to hang out with us, Mr. Angry, our photographer Larry, and various other CarDomain members and friends from Moparts who show up to drink with us. Just be warned, there is a stein-holding contest at the Hofbrauhaus. Jen won last year, and given how badly she beat all of us, I'm kind of doubting she will face any serious competition this year.
