The 10K Explorer Challenge!

Here's a project idea for not just Four Wheel Drive & Sport Utility, but all the wheeling mags under the Source Interlink Media brand.  (Well, not JP for obvious reasons.)

Take ten grand, buy an Explorer and build it to represent your magazine.  Meaning its mission and audiance.

Once they are all built at a given deadline, They are all "tested" together to show the advantages and weaknesses of each.  (Without destroying them in the process.)

Then they are:
A)  Auctioned off with proceeds going to a trail saving charity.

B)  Given away in a sweepstakes.

The rules for the Explorer is that it must be of the four door variety; and all prices for parts and accessories must be listed.  (Since all of you are in the same building, price variance should be nill.) The rest is up to the builder.

The testing is the hardest part, It needs to be challenging enough for what FOur Wheeler and Peterson's would build, yet be realitic enough for the real world builds of 4 Wheel Drive and Sport Utility magazine.  I'm sure the major domos of each magazine could come together and figure something out.

So what do you think?  

 

Dodge Ram Research
Dodge Ram With great deals and authoritative reviews, find all you need to research and buy the new Dodge Ram, as well as compare it with other vehicles to help you in your car buying process. Compare the Ram with other submodels and find all you need for your car buying needs. It has a trade in value of $19,810.00 which should come in handy when you go to shop for your next car. Also check out the Ford F350 and the Toyota 4runner.
