ParrishCo Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) 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 (and a classic warbird at that!) 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 Mustang 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. Click this link to vote: Garmin | Garage For copy and paste: www8.garmin.com/vehicles/mechanic/vote.html You can also go to my website ParrishCo.com for more information on what this all is. I know I am a new member, but after getting Practical Shooting I have been a regular reader here for tip and tricks, so to prove that I actually am a fellow gun enthusiast I am including a picture and list of some of my toys... Here is a full list: 1.Yugo SKS M59/66 with custom refinished original stock - all parts matching 2. Custom .40 Springfield XD SubCompact - trigger job -Insight X2L Laser -Hard Crome custom finish by Springfield - XS BigDot 24/7 tritium night sighs - CCW (in pic) 3. Mossberg 500 Persuader Pump 12 gauge with XS BigDot tritium night sight 4. Springfield M1911A1 GI .45 - 5inch 5. And the best for last: Built AR-15 A3 - M4 style - Superior Arms Lower - VLTOR Collapsable Modstock - Bushmaster 16 inch upper - ARMS folding rear sight - EOTech 512/A65 - Surefire M73 Quad Rail - GG&G Vertical Grip - Miculek AR Steel Charging Handle - Tango Down BG/16 Battle Grip - Blackhawk three point sling with front sight post adapter with rail -Harris Bipod - Magpull Tabs - and probably more that i forgot... So i think that qualifies my request for you guys' help... Edited May 22, 2008 by ParrishCo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bp78 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 It may be a fairly blatant plea for help from someone not involved here. But he does have a decently done home page of various interests that plugs xdtalk.com nicely. Bringing the 'gun thing' alongside other interests certainly can't hurt the sport. His work did actually beat most the choices anyhow. He's off to a commanding lead already with 18%, 16% 2nd place, and single digit for all others.

ParrishCo Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Joining a month or two ago might have gotten a vote from me..... Youre exactly right. I registered today because today was the first day I needed your help. I am a real shooter. I really do have Brian Enos's book which is how I know about this website. As for the info I dont even have that profile info on my XDtalk.com website with which I have been a member for almost 5 years (go look - same username). I have spent a fair amount of time here but all my questions have already been asked and I know how to use a search function. I understand the apprehension, but I did included some of my proof that Im not just trolling forums but actually asking for help from forums which I know and from people who have identical interests as I do. Am i really to understand that you would refuse to answer my questions about precision shooting as well because I only have 2 posts? Im asking for no more than that. Its a stupid internet contest in which you vote by clicking a picture. No email addresses, no registering and its at GARMIN. I know you have heard of them. Come on guys - Im not a newbie to gun forums (not even this one) and there is no need to flame me in your elitism. If you dont want to help you dont have to - that why it is a request. I honestly expected that fellow firearms enthusiasts would support a brother more... Edited May 23, 2008 by ParrishCo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am at 18% solely because of votes from the members at XDtalk.com (see here) and arfcom [ar15.com] (see here). I appreciate you at least looking at the subject before casting a judgment.

AikiDale Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Damn, what a gullible rabbit I am. I just went and voted for the guy before vetting him. Then I come back and find out he's new and been around for a while. Do not fear the black helicopters. Fly one. Move along. These are not the droids you seek. If they are not out to get you, do you no harm and your fears are unfounded then you really are paranoid. Trust the force! ETA: Welcome to the forum ParrishCo! They really are nice guys; either they ran out of meds or they didn't get laid recently I guess. Edited May 23, 2008 by AikiDale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Nesbitt Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Parrish, I voted for you. Maybe you can get your competition disqualified because a slice of pizza isn't a vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murkish Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Parrish, I voted for you. Maybe you can get your competition disqualified because a slice of pizza isn't a vehicle.

I voted for you as well and agree that the slice of pizza is a travesty. ETC: bad typing. I totally agree! I dont exactly know who is voting for that - but it is ridiculous! I am now tied for first at 16% and only slightly behind the official first place "pizza". Only a little bit more to take the lead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyg0811 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 i voted for a fellow gun owner..... This is why I decided to help him as well. I had seen his thread at XDTalk, Thread started at XDTalk so I posted a thread at USMC - Together We Served Forum (If you register there look for my thread in the "Open Marine Forum" and add me as your recruiter) 180 views and 15 replies minus mine, all positive.

ParrishCo Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
