Watch MTV's TRL and you can win a skyline.. I was STUNED when i saw this. You got to watch for licnese plates and write them down...

I don't know boss............... I can't believe that owning a Skyline with the high insurance payments and the inevitable second job that I would have to get to pay for mods, ect is worth watching that channel. I guess if I liked lifeless, canned, mass produced, no-real-skill involved music than I might think differently.

By the way, I don't want to start anything by making those comments, but as a guitar player with only eight years under my belt, I can talk as much s*** as I want about the no skills aspect of the music they show............

MTV is selling a lifestyle image... actually, a couple of them. The "music" just happens to be the medium that they're reaching the consumer with.

Too true........and a great point! Phax, I saw that you are using Whiteline swaybars. I also have the Whiteline units but I would like to get solid end links for them..........any suggestions?

NO, do it! ive got the best idea. we get a few people to watch and campare answers to make sure we get the right ones, then have everyone on NICO call in and try to win using the answers we got. that means there is a much better chance of one of us getting it rather than a 12 yr old girl. i think its a very good idea, what do u guys think?

I guess I'm in, and I'd be more than happy to hook other NICO people up with the keys if you live in my area and I win! However, if you live a few states away you would have to fly/drive out here to enjoy the fun!

I mean, I guess it's worth watching TRL for a week for a 1/100,000 chance at winning a skyline that you would have to immediately put 10k into just to drive.

But then again, it's a skyline.

That car was at nopi in atl this year, it is badass.

..just give it up guys.. It's probably not worth the hassle.

You'll probably never know who won it anyway.. so just assume it fell into the right hands... :)

mtv2 and fuse are not to bad because they have some decent stuff. but i dont feel like falling for their shameless advertising. judging from the game the skyline is going to have a paint job, rims, kit, packed with audio and some garbage nitrous

im just saying mtv's and the games creators probably design the car and contest around the fact that most uneducated people associate the fast and the furious and see all the same stuff on the skyline. so therefore they want to be fast and furious just like the movie and find this as a great way to do it, they sign up, are spammed like hell and mtv just reguritates their media jive back into the publics throat.

conclusion- never said i didnt want it, id never enter the contest anyway, juist making an assumption wether im wrong or not
