DeMello Void my Warranty contest.

[swanny]

So my dog died on Friday (true story). Her last wish was to be driven in style to our family property 4hrs away where she could be laid to rest. Of course her wish prior was to be driven around tongue hanging out the window in a kick ass 4Runner that could take her to the places her own legs no longer could.

I'm a cop, and I arrest the men and women who you never even have to think of while you rest peacefully in your bed. I help those who are unable to help themselves. While you sleep, I work murders, robberies and assaults. I'm unappreciated by the vast majority of the public I serve, make $32,000 a year, and 2/3 of the population I deal with every day wants to quite literally, kill me. I'm the only income in a household of 4, work my ass off, and mind my own business, having 1 hope before I leave to work.... That I return in the morning to see my family again. I am a human, and most of the people I speak with on every 12 hour shift I work view, and treat me as a robot. I enjoy my 4runner, and hope I win. If I don't, oh well... life goes on.

Woulda' loved this

I would have loved this as an opportunity for a road trip (and to at least DX those ugly bumpers!), but there is no way I can get the leave. My Command just gave me 2 weeks to take care of my little guy after surgery and he couldn't travel that far yet.
All things considered, my kid is doing great and my trucks runs well enough. I'm a happy man.

You have my respect brother. I'm alive a couple times today because of LEO's being badass while I was working EMS. Thank you and stay safe.

I deserve to have my 4Runner overhauled into an off-road baller. Here is why.

Growing up, I wouldn’t say that I had it easy or had things handed to me. I grew up in a safe, upper income level neighborhood with my family. They had great jobs and we lived in a nice house with plenty of other kids to play with in the neighborhood. When I wanted to ride my bike to the store, I asked my Mom for $5 and she gave it to me. When the Mariner’s switched to a newer version of their hats, she bought me one. When the new Nike’s hit the stores, I got them too. But only one pair. I would go visit family in Southern California for the summers, which was rough. I would go to a day camp in a rough part of the Valley. We would go on field trips to Malibu beach, watch some of the LA Kings practice hockey and get to skate with them after. Once a month or so we would have a field day with prizes of Sega’s to Super Soakers. They didn’t include any games or attachments, which was a bummer. The weekends typically consisted of going to the local theme parks but I mean, how many times can you really go to Disneyland with your annual pass? It gets old after a while.

Now to my teenage years. When I was an older teenager it was time to start driving and my Dad would let me borrow our new Tahoe as needed before I got my own car, but I was responsible to fuel it up, with their credit card. When I got my own car, I had a few bucks saved up and my folks covered the rest, as well as insurance and my cell phone. That was back in the day where texting wasn’t as common and I racked up an $800 bill for going over by 9500 texts for our plan. I didn’t have to pay it but my Dad did bring it up, but what did he want me to do about it? I did have normal vacations and things such as cell phones, video games etc. It was super irritating owning both an Xbox 360 and a Playstation 2 as the TV in my room didn’t have more than one input so I would have to unplug and plug in when swapping between consoles. I couldn’t just go from Halo to Grand Theft Auto without having to get up from my leather chair. We did go on normal family vacations to Hawaii and often to DC and the east coast. On one trip to Hawaii, there was an incident that ruined the entire trip. My Mom pointed out a sea turtle while we were snorkeling on a beautiful day and her hand hit my mouth piece out and I sucked up water. It was gross.

As you can see, I lived a rough and stressed life in my younger years. It’s amazing I didn’t end up on the wrong side of the tracks or in a Community College. Please pick me so I can continue healing.

.......haha, what? Genius

We'd like to announce the winner of our "Void my warranty" Contest. Before we do that though, we'd like to thank everyone who entered. There were well over a hundred entries to read through. A lot of them were very personal and sad stories. In the end we had to pick just one. In the end it was about making someones day and giving it to someone who really would enjoy it and use it. Which turns out is most of you. We also had to look at clever choices of words and really just how it made us feel to reward that person. Again it was not easy and we know we could announce the cure for cancer and someone would complain we didn't cure their favorite flavor STD so for those that didn't win but did participate if you see us at Jambo this year or even on the way there from SoCal, hit us up for some free swagg. Again thanks to everyone for your entries! But with out further Typo's and spelling mistakes We Picked Jessica Quillin Entry for her hardworking Husband that just wants some time to spend with his kids and wife in a FJ that's ready to do it! Congrats Jessica and John we can't wait to see and meet you guys in Texas!

This was a cool competition and very generous of all the vendors too. Perhaps we can look forward to something similar next year.
Congrats to Jessica, her hubby and their FJ.
