Okay, I had this idea and it's still kind of rough around the edges but if people are interested, I can go ahead and write up the rules, based on those of the Tropical Island and Desert Island drafts already underway.
I decided on "last person in the big city" instead of tropical island or desert island for the simple reason having a classic car and not being able to drive it because of all the crappy sand would suck.
The idea is to pick your all-time favorite cars. It would be year, make and model. Variations in engines, colors, etc. would not be considered separate entities for draft purposes.
If you're interested, sign up here along with any suggested rule variations.
Va-room! Va-room!!
RULES:
You wake up one morning and find yourself alone. You're in a large city with all the resources you'll need to live out your life. As you bemoan your fate, it suddenly dawns on you: You can now drive ANY car you want! You don't have to worry about gas prices or availability. For some reason, the power is still on in your city so you have all the conveniences but no worries about traffic, speed limits, or other silly restrictions. And, miracle of miracles, if you select a particular car, you have the keys!
Here are the rules:
• 20 rounds (serpentine).
• PM the next person promptly.
• Must post a brief write-up on your selection and why you chose it.
• It's pretty much "pick a car, any car" - as non-restrictive as possible. If someone protests a particular pick, the issue will be resolved at that time.
• 24 hour deadline between picks - same as all the other drafts.
• Winner of the draft will be determined by a vote based on whatever criteria the voters deem appropriate. Faster is not necessarily the only option. Durability, coolness, etc. might well factor in... or not.
