| I read today they still have some left, so you better mail in your form or you'll probably never see one around here. |

| I thought it was lottery style, so even if you mailed a form in you weren't guaranteed one. |

| I mailed in a form about 2 weeks ago and haven't received anything yet. Anyone else get one yet? |

| Nope, but again I was under the assumption it was lottery style. |

| FIFO, but I think they have a quota for each state in the continental U.S. |

I wish there was a way to see how many of those were in circulation and how many had been stolen. I'm guessing 2/3 are gone already. |

From my personal experience, I've had a 50% loss rate. Two people mailed me jeeps, and one I placed into a cache over here and left it and it's still in circulation, and the second I just logged into a cache over here and then mailed it back to the guy who mailed it to me, and it ended up MIA (probably sitting on a dock in Karachi Pakistan for all I know).
Didn't win with any of my submitted photos - don't think Jeep liked pictures of their TBs sitting on fine GM products like M1114s. _________________ There comes a time in every young boy's life when he gets an irresistible urge to seek buried treasure.--Mark Twain |

I think the people that won the photo contests were the ones who mass emailed everyone to vote for their photo to win  |

I didn't vote for anyone who contact me through the mass mailing. I dislike snail junk mail but I hate e-mail spam. _________________ Summer is too short |

I'm just glad Sanjaya didn't submit a photo.  |
