For the last four weeks Garmin has been conducting a contest where individuals can draw a vehicle and enter it for a chance to have their vehicle idea made into a Garmin Garage Vehicle for the Nüvi series and other Garmin GPS devices. I made it into the the top five finalist during week two but now I need your help to vote for me, help me beat the commercial artist, and allow my entry to be the first airplane ever to become a Garmin Garage Vehicle! After the contest is over you can then download this vehicle (along with alot of others) for free and put it on you Garmin GPS. Help the underdog win!!

I am in the third line from the top (”Wingman” by Drew P. of Orlando, FL). It is one vote per computer so if you have two or more computers you can vote with each one.

To vote click this link:

You can also go to my website ParrishCo.com for more information on what this all is.
Thank you SO much (in advance) for your help!!

Thanks for the spammy post. I voted for the rolling fish bowl. Cute little thing.

Then I guess you could draw up your own idea or vote for one of the other icons - I just happen to think that mine is the best...

parrishco

I agree its a bit spammy but Ive only ever read things here so I never needed to register and ask a question until now. Just thought it was a cool idea and thought most here would agree.

I don't mind your asking for votes, but I'm currently using an airplane on my nüvi, so yours wouldn't be the first. Mine is a jet, not a prop, but as I am not a pilot, makes not much difference to me.

parrishco

Well the only thing that they do have is a fictional spaceship, but since youre not a pilot I can understand the confusion. I mean the first real plane. And an American Classic plane that changed the tide of World War 2 at that. I know what youre saying though. I hope you voted... Thanks

dav

It is an awfully cartoonish vehicle, but there is a faint resemblance to an aerial craft!

If you don't win and they don't make your icon for you, you can still make it yourself! Check out this batmobile link: glad you asked: chicks dig the car

Good luck.

parrishco

Ha ha - yeah youre right. Kudos to you for finding that post. I had no idea you could convert into the garmin format. Thank you. Im not sure I can use photshop that well but at least I know it is possible. Though still I think Id rather just have Garmin do it for me!!

Update - Fri 23rd, 8:00 am: I woke up this morning expecting to see my lead continue as we thoroughly crushed Jamster yesterday but then I see Snacktime (who has like 7% yesterday and maybe 10% last night) now has 18%. My campaigning yesterday was successful (I got about 250 votes) but apparently I can't stop now. The hardest part is that there is still 5 more days to go! Time to convince other people to get more involved in recruiting! But I must say at least I could lose to the pizza. That hamster was just hideous - almost as bad as the balloon...

Andy

I just voted for the fish bowl (sorry parrishco), but thought it's amusing a pizza slice is tied (16%) with your airplane for the lead.

parrishco

Thats ok - thats why its a vote - Im just glad you voted. Although I agree- its retarded that Im losing to a slice of pizza...

parrishco

Update - Sun 25rd, 8:00 am: Snacktime (the pizza is still in the lead. But barely. We are both tied at 16% (thats around 1050 votes!!) although he is still the official first place with at least one or more votes than me. With the voting ending Wednesday it is definitely the home stretch now. Please vote if you haven't yet and make sure to tell others you know to do the same because I need to make sure I gain the lead going into Wednesday so we can make a final big push on the last day of voting (like I would assume everyone else will too). Thank you so much to all 1000 of you who voted so far that is just freaking amazing. Keep it up!!

parrishco

Update - Tue 27rd, 8:30 am: Bad news - I am 2% (146 votes) down!! As expected Sancktime (the pizza) made a big push yesterday toward the end of voting. Today and tomorrow are the last days to vote and I will have to get more than 200 votes to win this! This is when I need you guys the most! I need everyone who can to help vote and send as many people to vote as you can. Based on the past few days I know we can pull this into first but I NEED your help. I have over twice as many views as votes so those that haven't - please take the literal 2 second to vote to take this thing strongly into the lead!!

You can vote here: Vote for a Victory!

Max

Ok dude, I voted, now you'll win. I gotta admit I'm not a fan of the plane, but I just can't stand seeing you losing to a piece of pizza - that's too weird when society can let that occur.

wtf pizza?


Good luck to ya

I think it was rigged. They already have a blue triangle... how hard is it going to be for them to modify that into a pizza wedge.

I think they chickened out on having to do a "real" challenge...

Hey, some airplanes at Garmin Garage! Garmin | Service Vehicles

Hope these make you happier!
