    Thoughts about the new rules?

    Thanks Sheen for starting it with a nice easy one.

    Folks that are way outside of the "twin cities" sorry for the 494-694 rule. I didn't want to exclude anyone, but at the same time, I wanted to keep the thread alive and constantly updated so it wouldn't die like the last one. This was the best way I could come up with to do that considering there are a lot of people concentrated there.

    Great idea!

    I posted up an easy one to get the ball rolling. I still have a folder full of spots from last time, but I'll go out and take new pictures with the new car.

    Can you explain the technicality a little better? Does the OP have to call it as a technicality shot? Otherwise, you could pick out anything from a photo (like a fire hydrant in the background or a lady with a stroller) and call it a technicality.

    yeah, I figured it would take a bit of getting used to, but if I use your picture as an example...

    Yes, the tagger must call the "technicality tag" with the post - but it should be pretty clear.

    If someone can find the same model black honda in a parking lot - and park 6 spots away with a light post sticking out of the top of their car (with both cars pointed in similar directions) - it would count:
    Black Honda Accord would be technicality 1
    Parking spots and light pole would be technicality 2

    I figure the Technicality Tag would be pretty difficult to get - probably easier to tag the spot than hit the technicality... But a fun spin, I thought.

    Nice. I like it. Easy tags are good, as it'll be fun to get this actually moving again :).

    HA HA!
    I figured it would give people constructive crap to do between deer hunting and ice fishing. :naughty:

    I like fun stuff - and this was stuff that was thrown around in the mod section and I decided that it was MY job to step up and get involved. Plus, I've been drinking A LOT of coffee lately and you should see my little fingers GO!!!

    Basically, if you know where it is, you go take a picture of your car at that location, and then pick a new location and take a picture of your car at the new location.

    Once you've got both pictures, you post them up in the picture thread, and the next person in line needs to find your new location and do the same thing.

    How about you can only tag a certain spot, WITH LIGHTNING IN THE BACKGROUND.

    I grew up just down the hill from this new picture - used to go sledding ALL the time on the hills on the other side... I know where this is all too well but it would take me an hour to get to now...

    Too easy, 9blackmax6. Also, be sure to post BOTH pics at the same time, to keep with the rules, and to keep it going better.

    Yes it was. Notice the Suite# O in the window? Google referenced it's Suite# even. But just to make sure I called both Eagan and Plymouth and Plymouth was the only Suite# O.

    Cici's Pizza
    :[​IMG]?
    4345 Nathan Ln N # O
    Plymouth, MN 55442-4523

    cicispizza.com

    I don't think anyone tagged it because it was too easy.

    The latest one is hard... Hmm. The reflection in the right side window shows some sort of structure that I can only speculate to be a rocket ship or church steeple, no?

    This one is gonna be hard.

    Challenging tag 054eatwagon.

    I figured it was, I live very close to that one.
    and I agree, the new one looks hard, I thought it was a church steeple too though

    It sure is a church steeple. One of the most unmistakable church steeples too. Too bad I don't live out that way anymore. Great tag 054eatwagon.

    I know exactly where it is and found it on google maps last night. But it's too far for me to drive. I think it's a good one too. Just a little hint with that reflection, but it's enough.

    Sure you are, Emily. I've heard that before.

    Too bad about the Cici's one expiring. I was getting ready to post my tag of it, and the next one (you'll see it shortly in COTM thread).

    Nice tag Ylime but I say you still have to get the picture the exact way it was taken.

    That's the challenge of it... Thoughts?
