eeny, meeny, and miney (moe missed the train)

Well, Chevrolet has taken an interesting tactic on releasing some of their concept cars... or, at least, tantalizing the American public with the examples of their concept cars, as is always the case with car companies.  I have never really understood that aspect of car construction - if car companies actually found a way to make their concept cars road-worthy in America and actually built them the way they show them at the auto shows...  I would be more than willing to wager that they would make a substantially greater amount of money off their vehicles than they do now.  Regardless, Chevy is considering releasing one of three midget-cars, to break into the Mini and Fit markets, I suppose. 

However, there is a catch...  They presented three models of potential vehicles at the recent New York Auto Show... but allegedly are only going to produce one, as I mentioned - and they are leaving it up to the public to decide which ones should hit the factory and showroom floors.  You can take a look at them at Vote 4 Chevrolet, and then make your vote based off what you see - over 800,000 other people already have, impressively enough.  Now, git, go make your vote, and then come back and read the rest of this post.  I can wait.

So, which one did you vote for?  And, more interestingly, why?  And no fibbing. 

And, here is the clincher:  Would your vote be any different if the cars were all the same color?  Better Half and I both agree that the situation was unfairly weighted by one of the cars being a flattering piano black, one of the cars being cat-puke green, and the third car being some kind of burnt metallic orange.  So, do you think the distribution of votes would be any different now if the cars were all the same color, or the three colors were on different cars than they are now?  Just a thought, especially considering that advertising and catering to people's un/subconscious motivations has become a rather substantial industry, these days. 

Me, I voted for the green thing.  The black one reminded me too much of a minivan, and the orange one just had no charm.  The green one, in a very, very different color, could almost look aggressive.

Hey walls,

I keep gettin' an error when sending a tb to you:

'Invalid TrackBack ID '767'

Thanks...I'll keep trying...

I think it has something to do with my anti-spam system for the trackbacks.... if I turn it on, I get no trackbacks, and if I turn it off, I get an obscene number of spam trackbacks. I have been poking at it, but with very limited success.... I will sit down this evening and see if I can sort it out.

Thanks for the heads up!

Update: Ok, I disabled tCode (the offending plugin) for the time being, and installed another plugin that will moderate all trackback pings that do not link to my site. See if that works any better for you, and I will get to work on tCode.

Hey,

It looks like that worked!

Shiny!

I guess that is the danger of using plugins that you do not really understand what they do. I think I am going to poke around the documentation a bit more before I continue using tCode... though, if this current one works, I may just stick with it.

Thanks for the assistance in the troubleshooting.
