Aw crap, missed the deadline, had the entire engineering side done too…
Also, does anyone know the exact number of random stuff i have to do to be able to DM people? Is it more like 5 or more like 50 posts?

The car with the highest number of points at the end wins. 10 points for 3-star, 5 points for 2-star, and 2 points for 1-star priorities.

for 1- and 2-star priorities, only the top 2 and 5 respectively will get points.

Pfft, who needs safety? That padded steering wheel and lumbar support are plenty comfortable enough to slam your body parts into at 40 miles per hour.

Will seating be accounted for? Given the Mara’s eight seats, its comfort being higher than some 7-seaters (such as mine) is noteworthy.

no, too late

One tip when putting up a new round is to tag the participators, so they easier can see that judging is going on.

I’d like to point out that the FWM shouldn’t have received a point here and thus isn’t a tie

Very close, yes. It’s plausible many other customers would be tempted by the FWM.

Would be interesting indeed if it were a tie,
could come down to cost really.
