Machine Makeover Contest

Hi, My name is Phillip Bailey and I live in the San Antonio Texas area. The local paper and a local Ford dealership are running a contest called the MACHINE MAKEOVER Contest where they will spend up to $15000.00 to makeover a Ford car or truck. The truck I entered was selected as one of the 12 finalist. Its a 1980 Ford F150 Ranger 4x4 Stepside that is 2 tone Tan & Brown. In order to win the contest I need to get as many VOTES as possible for my truck. I would like to ask all of you who are Ford Truck Enthusiasts to VOTE for my truck. To do this log onto MySA.com and in the keyword section put MACHINE MAKEOVER then hit go. This will bring up the Machine Makeover page, scroll down about half way and select VOTE. This will take to the page that shows the 12 finalist. My truck is in about the middle of the page on a yellow car hauler with the caption "NEW TRUCK" under it. Select it and then scroll to the bottom of the page and enter your e-mail address and hit vote. They will send you a e-mail that you must open in order for your vote to count. You can vote 1 time per day for each e-mail address that you have. The voting ends on Aug. 28th. at 5:00 p.m. Please vote as often as you can and tell everyone that you know. I will post the results as soon as I know. The winner is to be contacted on Aug. 29th. Thanks and please vote, Phillip Bailey

The first thing ya gotta do if you win is get rid of that Chebbie Stepside bed, and find a Ford Flareside bed to replace it.
