In spite of missing out on 3 months of prime Aiken photo taking weather at the end of last year, we still managed to finish as one of the 50 runners up in the 2019 Motoring Challenge. Our final score of 152, or a little more than half the total of the Miata Division winner’s, put us in 34th place.
The photo above is probably both Donna and my favorite photo from last year. The fellow running the contest thought it was pretty cool too as he included it on the 2019 Winners Page (keep scrolling, it is way towards the bottom.)
Our second favorite photo from last years is below. One of the objectives was a picture with the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. This one is on a page on the Moss Motors site as well, 2019 Motoring Challenge Wieners! (this time we are just the 5th one down.)

Wienermobile: With fingers crossed, hoping the Wienermobile App was going to be right, we braved driving into the outskirts of the Atlanta megalopolis to go to a Walmart parking lot in Lithonia. We were all smiles as soon as we pulled into the lot and could see it in all its glory. (2/17/19)
Our runner-up Gift Certificate showed up in today’s mail. Within an hour it was spent. It took care of most of the cost of a front license plate relocation kit for the Miata. Or more accurately, a front license plate mounting kit. Because South Carolina didn’t require a front plate I never had a front plate mount, but because Oregon requires both front and back plates I need one now.
