You sure you want to win this contest? I mean look at the rest of the entries, and more importantly, the top ranked. A Smart with Lambo doors is dominating the 2000s.

The Pacer being ranked #1 probably has something to with the fact a girl drives that car. She also has a new Challenger (purplepacergirl) on youtube and she's all over the web. Then again the #1 ranked car of the 2000's is a Smart car with lambo doors, lol

Great point! But I'm in this thing now, and there is time to win.
I'm just not one to lay down and die especially when everyones watching, and there's no way to pull the car.

SO...I need some votes! It's not to late to vote.

The Pacer does suck, and I would love to blow past it and win.
For the life of me I can not see where the votes are coming from.
What social significance did an AMC Pacer play in anything let alone a decade? They stated that it stopped traffic at the Power Tour, Was it broke down blocking the road??

At 10 points per vote it really would not take that many people to put the Z in first place!

the first place cars for every decade are some of the worst cars ive ever seen......i thought there was hope for the internet. my guess is that its all women, and 12 year olds voting on this stuff.

Getting close now! Solidly in 3rd and looking to pick off 1st & 2nd.

Other NEWS!!
Apparently the 1st and 2nd place cars were not playing fair. Contest moderators yesterday took about 1/2 of their points away and left word in their comment boxes that they would be watching.

Also if you had not heard.
The Blue Oval Z was voted CarDomain's "Show off of the week".
Not to bad considering there are about 700,000 cars on the site!
Check it out.

Thank YOU!!
Yes, we're in the final 7 days of voting for the contest.
Although the spread to first place looks large, each vote is worth up to 10 points. Based on today's scores we're only 84 votes, or 12 per day out of the lead. I don't think that it's unreasonable to think that we can't round up 100 ten point votes and win this thing.
I'll make this easy, cut and paste the following to an e-mail and send it to a few friends requesting their help. Let's make a "Z" Car of the Decade!

The "Blue Oval Z" is waging a war to become car of the decade in TEXACO'S "Car of The Decade" contest.




Can you help out by taking a moment to click on the link and submit a vote for the "Blue Oval Z"?

Thank you!!!
Please forward this to a friend. We need all of the help that we can get.
