We didn't cheat at all. We worked really had and were very creative in keeping our Z under $500.00. In my opinion, we were one of maybe 3-6 teams that did. By doing that, though, it made us very uncompetitive.
We thought the spirit of the race was to truly have a $500.00 car. Now we realize the spirit of the race is to not get caught with a car costing more than $500.00 and to be creative while doing it.
Even though it has only been a week since CMP, we have already come up with a few creative ways to cheat (and also bribe the judges) for next year. Can hardly wait.
TAJ, sorry I have not sent my paypal money to you yet, I'll do it later tonight. Am I the last to pay up from the Z team?
