Driving Game

I'll start, here's how it works and I'll make the 1st one easy. I want to see your rig parked next to a supermarket sign with your keys on the hood as a marker. The person who posts the winning picture gets to choose the next challenge. A marker like keys, a hat or something is a must in future pictures to keep us honest. Wanna play? Tim

It's a similar thing to what motorcycle riders do on forums. They do riding games and you have to take a photo at certain places. Another variation is take a photo in front pf a place and people guess what famous/popular destination you are at. The person with the correct guess does the next photo. These work really well for local areas. It's way to get folks out riding and doing random fun tasks.

As I said in my 1st post the person who takes and posts the picture of his/her rig in front of a Wally World, Costco or whatever with the keys on the hood (proof it's a pic for the game) wins. I in this case declare the winner. The winner then picks the next challenge and I can play then. There must be a marker like keys on hood, hat on tire or something to keep us honest.

Exactly! Plus it's fun to see your ride pictured with a very cool and understanding Police Officer! I won a bike challenge that way! Of course it helped he was my neighbor at the time....

So it's assumed that only one person is going to do it. I was thinking you were going to have 30 people all posting pics.

Hey...I bet I could get a photo of my keys on the hood and multiple Police cruisers with lights flashing and half a dozen officers all pointing weapons from behind the doors at the camera......

Of course you might have to wait until I get released before I could post it

1st one who takes and posts the pic wins. All any one has to do right now is go to Safeway and take a pic. Perhaps this game is more suited to bike riders? Thought I'd give it a shot

age matters too. this is a 20-30 yr old thing.

bikers do the ABCs pics to earn points/prizes.


California people just do it cause it's fun and their weather is always gorgeous.
snicker snicker fun is a dying skill.....

How bout a pic in front of my camper. If I had seen this earlier you would have had one in front of Kroger.


I like this idea, and unlike Scott, who cant think past the trees, understand it.

Ill see what I can come up with tomorrow if no one beats me to it, or I forget.

Well, it'll work if we geared it to trucks doing truck things. I think the destination pics work great with bikes because people just hop bikes to just go ride, no matter where. If we gear it towards truck stuff/work stuff/play stuff/broken stuff/stuck stuff/fixed stuff, might work

Yea, it doesn't matter what the challenge is. I made the 1st one easy cuz trucks go to the store just like bikes go to bars My rig seems to know it's own way to Home Depot.... Hint
