For those that do not know, CarDomain has another contest going on beyond the GRM Ultimate Track Car Challenge (http://www.cardomain.com/MakeModel/all/all/category%7C23) (which Hyde is still on top of - a big thanks to all of you!).

CarDomain has also teamed up with Discount Tires for a heads up battle (voting only) for a free set of tires.

This is the third round and they have selected Hyde as one of the contenders!

With all due respect do the beautiful Lexus that I am up against,
I would love the support of the AutomotiveForums community in this "Face Off."

You can vote here! (http://www.cardomain.com/features/faceoff)

Thanks for the help and support! :)

I just gave you a vote so theres one lol..

Awesome! ... thanks.

That Lexus looks disgusting, and the girl isn't all that hot. Jeff, you got my vote.

Voted.

Voted. From the looks of that car, should be an easy win for ya

i got a vote in there for my little monster

jeff, ya got my vote. no matter how many hot girls you put infront of a car, its the car that wins, not the 'model'. she's not halle berry omg, but more like, she's cute, just cute, nothing more.

the lexus is decent imo. but, jeff has the real car, not the movie car.

I'm sorry Jeff...I just saw boobies...I couldn't resist...:(


Boobies>10 Sec Car


Hrm...Jeff, if you can grow some boobies, post a picture by the end of the day, send me one via PM ( :biggrin: ), then I just may have to change my vote...but first I must see BOOBIES!!



ps...I voted for you.

CivR ... are you on hormone over load over there? :lol:

CivR ... are you on hormone over load over there? :lol:


I think so...

we were supposed to vote for the one we dont think should win right?

Jeff, I think I got an awesome challenge for you and your car.

Jeff, I think I got an awesome challenge for you and your car.


Let's hear it.

Road trip. Drive Hyde from New York to California and back. With no support crew. You can pick me up along the way.

lol ... I wouldn't need any support crew to do such a trip.

A few years ago I took a several thousand mile trip in Hyde.
IIRC, it was 7 states in 6 days.

Ah, very good then. I always had this image that Hyde wasn't, like, a trailor queen, but not exactly the type of car that you would want to spend more than a few hours in at any time. Very nice then.

I've driven Hyde 2.5+ hours on the drag radials and skinnies upfront to Englishtown's Raceway park to enter a national drag event ... and even drove home after getting a flat in the drag radial at the track :lol:

Thanks for the Votes everyone.

HYDE WON!!!

Well, it doesn't take much to beat a turd.


I didn't see anything really facinating about that Lexus that would sway my vote. I'm over the whole "make it look pimp yo!"... well I was never into it, but Hyde, it's clean and properly done.

A real "tuner" car, not a show car that's made to look "tuner". I bet if one was to look closely at Hyde you'd see scratches and minor dings that shows it's a real race car. It's not made to be perfect, but that's what makes it perfect.

Long live the real deal. Hyde FTW!... and Jeff too... cause he pays the bills. :lol:

So what kind of tires did you win?

Round ones... and most likely black. :D

Round ones... and most likely black. :D

Do they make red smoke? :D

oooo... that'd be cool.

Kumho's FTW!... if you like to make colored smoke... they also make a good race tire as well.

Stig, there are plenty of battle scars on Hyde.

clawhammer, from what I understand I won a set of 4 Kumho Ectsa ASX tires.
You can see them at the bottom of the page:

That works as I run Kumhos and I usually buy from Discount Tire :)
I think they are calling me at work tomorrow so I will let you guys know more when I find out more.

congrats

UPDATE

I just got off the phone with the representative from Discount Tire.
For winning the Face Off, I actually won any 4 tires that I wanted with a cap of $1000.

As tempting as it was to try to figure out the most amazing set up to order,
I decided to just be conservative and get a set of the tires they are promoting through the contest - the Kumho Ecsta ASX.

I already have 4 different sets of race tires for the car and Peter Doane (he'll be driving Hyde at the GRM UTCC event) just purchased a brand new set of Hoosiers for his use for the two events (maybe 3) he'll be racing in Hyde.

I haven't had regular street tires for Hyde in probably 2 years and I've wanted to check out these Kumhos. It will be nice to have normal street tires for that car. :)
