I finally got the Juke that I won

[NASCARLANCE]

I won a Juke in the Juke Studio Collaborate. Create. Win. Contest.
You had to take some graphics that were provided by 3 different artist and use them in a unique, creative and original way.
The designs were voted on by visitors to the web-sight.
The top 3 from every week were entered into the finals. It was a six week contest and I finished 3rd in week 2.
The 18 finalist were then judged by Nissan and the artist to determine the winner.
Out of the 18 finalist, I was chosen as the best design to represent the parameters of the contest.
I found out that I had won in Mid-April and it took this long to get a Juke SL AWD, get it shipped to the dealer have it wrapped, set up people to film it and then present it to me at the dealership.
The Juke was vinyl wrapped with my design.
I had to pay taxes and dest. fee, it was $1868.

Here is the Juke:

Its hideous, and I love it.

Well done.

[Razi]

So ugly! :P

Congrats!

I told my Dad that it has at least 1 good bank robbery in it.
Rob the bank and then peel off the vinyl and you have a red Juke that doesn't match the APB that the cops have out for you.
It gets more attention than you can imagine which is not what I'm used to. All of my cars have been like black or dark maroon, I don't even like chrome rims on most cars, too flashy.
I did some designs that I liked a lot more, but they got ZERO VOTES:

The red/black is probably my fave of the 3.

As a condition of winning the car, do you have to leave the vinyl on for a certain amount of time? God, I hope not.

How did the pick-up ceremony go? I know you said you were nervous about it.
That design is SO out there, that it actually kinda works with the juke (which is also out there).

Kinda looks like someone got bombed and went to town with a pack of crayons.

The Juke never ceases to amaze me. Every time I see a picture of it, I think it's a crummy looking car, but just today I saw one on the highway and I COMPLETELY loved it. Something about the way it looks in 3 dimensions makes all of the difference. I've never really considered a new car to be honest, but between the 370 and the Juke, I might actually spend the money in the next year on the Juke and get rid of the Civic (the floor on the drivers side is rusted through and the car gets stinky when it rains)

PapaSmurf2k3 asked-How did the pick-up ceremony go?- The filming part was terrible. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, I completely am, or to make it sound like anyone involved with the give-away was not as nice as they could be, everyone was great (and a couple were just COMPLETELY HOT!).
I've always been the type that's a little quieter until you get to know me. I have always had an aversion to being the center of attention, public speaking and being filmed on video. This combined all three.
Nissan had 1 camera man there, so we would have to do things multiple times for him to get different angles of everything that happened.
It was like, walk into the dealership 3 times, pull the cover off of the Juke 3 times, so on and so on.
I was emailed 8 or 9 questions so that I would be prepared for my on camera interview. I was asked every question except the 8 or 9 that I prepared for.
All in all, it was a small price to pay for a $25,000+ discount on a car that is in high demand.
What's funny is the salesman that I was dealing with, John Keith aka JK, told me that if I sold it to not cut anyone a deal because you can't find them anywhere. Just before I was leaving he came out and said with a smile, "The boss said he would give you $16,500 right now." I gave him a giggling "NO". JK said " I had to ask you since he told me to."

nissangirl74 asked-As a condition of winning the car, do you have to leave the vinyl on for a certain amount of time? God, I hope not.
I can take it off any time that I want to. I will probably sell it and leave that up to whoever buys it.
It is completely not my style and I thought that I would be in the 1st empty parking lot pealing it off. I don't really mind driving it, the Juke LS is a cool little car with a nice interior and a good list of standard features, this just gets way to much attention.
However it is a good way to meet people. In EVERY parking lot that I have stopped in I have had to talk to at least 1 person, if not more, about the car and it has all been positive so far except for the guy in overalls with no shirt on at my pharmacy (I do live in Alabama). He even said he liked the car but would peel off the wrap.
BUT it really looks better in person.If say you wanted to buy your rich spoiled daughter who grew up loving cartoons and coloring books a car, this might be the car for her.

Wait until you drive one, and you will be completely in love with it MORE. I was saying that I was definitely selling it, now I'm saying that I will PROBABLY sell it. Plus my Insurance on it would be the same as full coverage on my 95 j30.

I will probably sell it though and try to find a v6 CPO Nissan/Infiniti sedan.

Well, congratulations. How was the Juke for you? it looks great. I love it! Wish I could have one.

[Jesda]

This thing is so bat-sh*t crazy that I'm compelled to love it. Coolest prize EVER! Congratulations!

The Juke surprised me. It surprised me in just about every aspect. I really like it.
Nissan was smart in optioning the Juke the way they did. Most all of today's useful options are on it.
The options that it doesn't have are, to me at least, the ones that are worth not having for the sake of weight savings in this type of car.
Take the seats for example, they are not power, but have enough adjustments to obtain a comfortable driving position.
I have a degenerative disc disease and all of the disc in the lower third of my back are like Swiss cheese. I was as comfortable in the Juke as I have been in any car that I have driven since my disc started to deteriorate. This is just me, but it is very unusual for my back not to be killing me after 90 minutes or so of driving in a day.
I was also surprised by the "get up and go" of the Juke. You are not going to be out running new pony-cars but you're going to be as fast or faster than you need to go in everyday driving.
The wrap is even growing on me, but don't tell anyone, I hate having to deal with the haters.
I would keep the Juke, but I just prefer to have a sedan.

Thank you Jesda, if you want a FUN car and want to talk to people EVERY time that you stop and you want to give permission for pictures in every parking lot that you stop in(so far) and if you want other cars in traffic riding beside you taking pictures and if you want to park the car behind your neighbors house to keep people from bugging you at home and if you want to have a conversation with the nice and very pretty Big Lots cashier at the store in Jasper Alabama then this is just the car for you.
Jesda, thank you for not being a How has your Cadillac been treating you?

[Dattebayo]

I would really like to know why they picked your design. It reminds me of ren and stimpy somehow...

Also, you should really learn how to use the quote feature. It helps break up the monotony of the blocks of text.

[Zydeco]

I think you should sell it to Nala. it fits his creep status.

[NASCARLANCE]

I think you should sell it to Nala. it fits his creep status.

That is funny.
I might give it to him.
It does fit his creep status.

I used the quote feature.
Every sentence less than 6 words.
So no monotonous blocks of text.

Thank you for not hating.
Some people can not help it.

Well done.

seconded.

it's pretty ridiculous.
