And the Winner Is…

The results are in and a winner has been selected. As you can see by the photo, I really did write down everyone’s name and throw it into an actual hat to make the selection. Although I appreciated the kind and thoughtful comments so many of you took the time to write, in the end there could be no favoritism. Thanks to everyone who entered.

Congratulations to Rcousine who told us that it was “Hard to pick a favorite recent article, but Mr. Lang’s stuff is a consistent delight.” It is sentiment I heartily agree with. I have sent an email to the winner asking him to reply with his real name and address so I can mail him his prize. I’ll be looking for his response to come from the email address he listed when he signed up to become a commenter on our fair website, lest any of you sly dogs try to claim the prize by slipping me your own address in place of his.

Once again, thank you all for your participation. Keep your eyes open for future opportunities to make my trash your treasure. Don’t eat too much and stay warm. Happy Thanksgiving to all of us stateside, and happy holidays to everyone everywhere.

      Not mean spirited Nate, just looking out for everyone since I probably ate enough for everyone. Thanksgiving is one of those times when being married to a Japanese woman is especially difficult. Thank goodness I have some basic kitchen skills and know how to follow the directions in a cookbook.

  • MaintenanceCosts Poorly packaged, oddly proportioned small CUV with an unrefined hybrid powertrain and a luxury-market price? Who wouldn't want it?
  • MaintenanceCosts Who knows whether it rides or handles acceptably or whether it chews up a set of tires in 5000 miles, but we definitely know it has a "mature stance."Sounds like JUST the kind of previous owner you'd want…
  • 28-Cars-Later Nissan will be very fortunate to not be in the Japanese equivalent of Chapter 11 reorganization over the next 36 months, "getting rolling" is a luxury (also, I see what you did there).
  • MaintenanceCosts RAM! RAM! RAM! ...... the child in the crosswalk that you can't see over the hood of this factory-lifted beast.
  • 3-On-The-Tree Yes all the Older Land Cruiser’s and samurai’s have gone up here as well. I’ve taken both vehicle ps on some pretty rough roads exploring old mine shafts etc. I bought mine right before I deployed back in 08 and got it for $4000 and also bought another that is non running for parts, got a complete engine, drive train. The mice love it unfortunately.
