Default Vote Now !!!! Beat The Mini!!

Voting has started. If the Mini wins we are a sorry bunch.

DO NOT CLEAR YOUR COOKIES AND TRY TO VOTE AGAIN.


I already read that cars.com is monitering IP addresses and will possibly remove votes that come repeatedly from the same address including the original vote. Stop wasting your time.

You can vote from different PCs but NOT the same PC.

I honestly think that the cooper will be the toughest competitor yet. Cooper drivers are just as fanatical as us Z drivers.

Yes, that would be a sorry state of affairs.

The one thing we have going for us is everyday people IMO are going to vote for the Z. No offense to the Mini, but the Z is blowing it away in the looks department.

I voted, but I'm still confused b/c tons of people seem to think that they can clear cookies and vote again. When i clear my cookies, sure it lets me check the boxes but the total count doesn't increase.

Just voted a few times from different computers. Vote people don't let that turd of a car beat us. Come on now we already beat out the ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE. And even the editors had it out for us, so lets put them in their place.

I'm pretty sure the polls are IP based (clearing cookies won't make a difference). Otherwise we would have had a lot more than 2000+ total votes in the Z vs 335 vote.


This is from the guy who runs cars.com. I'm pretty sure it's a one vote per user i.e. IP address.

The Crown Victoria has 49% and the Mini Cooper has 51% of 844 votes. That means around 20 votes is the difference between winning and losing right now.
