signed up to win Bumblebee

well, im signed up to win. it kinda ticks me off that you dont even have to buy the dvd to sign up. anybody can go to the website and sign up. oh well...time to watch the movie.

edit: holy crap. this scares me. in the rules it says...

THREE (3) GRAND PRIZES/ARV: 2009 Chevrolet Camaro – Transformers Bumblebee Replica Edition-(ARV/MSRP: $40,000). This replica will be a production-version Camaro modified to resemble the exterior of Bumblebee, as seen in Transformers: The Movie. Specialty enhancements/design upgrades may not be covered by the GM New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Grand Prize vehicles will not be available for delivery until 2009. Winners must take delivery of vehicle within thirty (30) days of notice of availability from GM-selected dealer near each winner’s residence, and each will be solely responsible for sales tax, registration, license, title and insurance fees and cost of any additional optional equipment not provided with Grand Prize vehicle. Grand Prize vehicles’ APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE (ARV) is based on forecasted 2009 Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of a base model Chevrolet Camaro. Winners must a have valid driver’s license from jurisdiction of residence and proof of insurance to take delivery. No cash or other substitution may be made, except by the Sponsor, who reserves the right to substitute a prize in whole or in part with another prize of comparable or greater value if the intended prize is not available for any reason as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. Each winner will be responsible for all taxes (not limited to federal, state, provincial, local and/or income) on Grand Prize and if a U.S. resident will be required to provide, to Administrator, his/her Social Security number for tax reporting purposes. Administrator will file an IRS Form 1099 with the Internal Revenue Service for the fair market value of any prize awarded to a U.S. resident.

I take that as the cost for the base camaro plus the cost of custom paint and options specific for these camaros, Not that the actual MSRP for a base camaro will be 40K.

Oh sure ... now that they're going to give away the car for FREE, you guys decide that you want the Bumblebee .....

..... I thought nobody wanted the "Bumblebee" look, 'cause it would be too cliche, or it was too "yellow", or it would be silly having Autobot logos on the steering wheel, etc.???

I've been a big fan of the yellow w/black stripes look ever since ... well, ever since I've seen ANY Camaro with that paint scheme! ... but in particular, after seeing the first leaked images of the (Saleen) Bumblebee car .

Well, consider me signed up and waiting patiently to take delivery of my Bumblebee!!!
(that's right, keep smoking the crack pipe!!!!)

Federal law. You cannot be required to make any purchase in order to be eligible to win a prize.

Anyway, yes, I have to assume that $40,000 price has a lot to do with the custom work done on it. I wonder if it's a V6 or V8? It does say base Camaro after all. C'mon, how could you make the Bumblebee a V6 car?

Where in the ad does it say that it is the "base" model?
