YW photo scavenger hunt... what do you think

[Black Yaris]

Since there are quite a few of us that like to take pictures, what does everyone think about a photo scavenger hunt.
Here is how I think we could do it.
start a thread of suggestions
Exaples:
1. You/your car at a famous landmark/place
2. eating at your favorite resturant
3. you in a country other than your own
4. Tag a car with a NST business card
5. you doing a pushup in front of a Starbucks
6. you or your car with a statue in the picture
7. you shaking hands with a Toyota salesperson
8. You driving your car either behind or beside a cop car without being pulled over.
9. Your car among thousand other cars (a la Where is Waldo)
10. Your car with the weirdest thing you transported (yourself not included)
11. your car parked next to another one like it (Hatch and Hatch, Sedan and Sedan, xB and xB.... etc)
12. You or your car next to an exotic car
13. You and your car by a body of water (pool's can count ;P)
14. Your car suffering your local weather conditions
15. Your car next to the same model with a different body kit
16. Picture that looks like your holding your car in your hands
17. Picture where the moon is visible
18. Your car with a spare tire on it
19. pic of your car getting dirty
20. your car hiding behind a bigger car (show both sides) in a parking lot
etc.

Each person will have their own thread with their own pix as they are marked off the list
There should be some rules like you or your car must be in the pic, so ppl can't just pull pix off the interwebz

winner gets something YW related, I am sure we can come up with something

just throwing the idea out there, what do ya'll think?

[RHDVIPbB]

Did that for my local Scion group. Here was my list:
Pic of you with a Scion being used as a company car
signed business card from a company that uses a Scion as a company car
Most unique lisence plate on a Scion
Car show flyer with a Toyota on it

You can change this for the Yaris, but these were just a few that I came up with for our fall meet.

[Black Yaris]

anyone else want to throw their ideas in?

[cali yaris]

you doing a pushup in front of a Starbucks
you or your car with a statue in the picture
you shaking hands with a Toyota salesperson

:wink:

[Black Yaris]

keep the idea's coming... if we get a good list of tasks then we have a completion date where a winner will be crowned

[ZING]

haha I'm laughing my ass off just thinking of the things.


Your Yaris next to a tank? I can definitely get that picture hehe.

we are trying to keep them generic, so that everyone can play.

keep them coming.... the more idea's the merrier

[ZING]

^ Sorry, got excited hehe.

[33OH]

The tank one would be easy for me too, we have a base in our town with one outside of it. Haha.

I think a few of them are a little hard, but then again I live in BFE.

We don't have a Starbucks. I've never even been outside the U.S., so that one's out. I have the only Yaris in my town, unless I drive for a while and find one at a dealership. (Although I do have some pics of me and Charles's cars.. haha.)

But I think I'm an exception. Everyone has Starbucks. =P

Good idea though!

[Black Yaris]

Throw some generic idea's that you could pull off then Ryan.....

[Zefoxe]

You and your car by a body of water (pool's can count ;P)
Your car suffering your local weather conditions
Your car next to the same model with a different body kit
Picture that looks like your holding your car in your hands
Picture where the moon is visible
Your car with a spare tire on it

thats all I can think of atm

[staypuft]

how about a pic of your yaris getting dirty, how about your yaris hiding behind a bigger car (show both sides) in a parking lot

[Black Yaris]

keep them coming.... great ideas so far..... my goal is a 100 items on the list

time frame for contest 60 days? winner will be the person to complete all the items first, or the person with the most done after 60 days

Hmmm
Famous landmark.... there really are not any near here...
In another country well that makes it necessary for me to visit PK and him to visit me ..... going to be tough for the people in the central mid west area
#15 ???? Find a modded Yaris in this state.... I dare ya!

Cali - "you doing a pushup in front of a Starbucks" this is Vermont what is starbucks? LOL

[Black Yaris]

these are all just starting ideas.... they can always be changed or deleted

[Tamago]

you driving with one of your rear wheels off the ground

[Black Yaris]

not many of us can pull that off Tamago.....

[Tamago]

not many of us can pull that off Tamago.....

anyone who's lowered should be able to ;)

[Black Yaris]

we know the car can, but skill of driver is another thing

[Tamago]

we know the car can, but skill of driver is another thing

slow down while turning, that's all u have to do :biggrin:

but i'm done cluttering ;)

[ZING]

The only other country I can go to is Syria or Israel...so that's out for me hehe.

[YAR1S]

Your yaris in a picture with a famous person.... (doesnt have to be nationally known ;D )
Your yaris next to a smaller car...
Your yaris turning heads
yaris in a new state besides your own.

[jinxor]

Nice idea, Im up for it....
It will be fun.... I got one for you as well...

Your car under the trailer (pic of your car in such a way that it looks like under the trailer. idk if that is plausible)

[ZING]

Your yaris in a picture with a famous person


Now that's a challenge right there. For me at least.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I think this one will be hard:

Your and your Yaris/Scion with a cop and a cop car in the pic.

[Black Yaris]

I think this one will be hard:

Your and your Yaris/Scion with a cop and a cop car in the pic.

easy, my brother is a cop.... seriously

[Kaotic Lazagna]

easy, my brother is a cop.... seriously

Bah! :laugh: Okay, how about changing the cop to a highway officer and his car? :tongue:

[Black Yaris]

well that is an easy one as well.... I have a Ohio State Patrol post as one of my accounts at work..... I am sure they would let me

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hmmm, I'm out :laugh:

[darkmoon87]

this sounds like a helluva fun lol got lots of famous landmarks here so that's no problem for me.

[Tamago]

I think this one will be hard:

Your and your Yaris/Scion with a cop and a cop car in the pic.

i just got pulled over for "accelerating too fast" from a light lol

dickhead cop gave me two tickets :(

If you didn't go over the speed limit, I think that's just retarded.

:)
Scavenger hunts aren't supposed to be easy :P

[Zefoxe]

Your car next to an animal
Your car parked near your City Hall
Picture of your car from 2 stories or higher :P
You and your car next to an opposing auto makers dealership making a rude/funny gesture
Your car next your local sports team stadium/arena, etc
Picture of your car at sun rise and sun set in the relatively same spot

I think it would be a good idea to give each objective a certain score, more risky/gutsy/harder to do, more points awarded and person with most points gets the win.

[ZING]

That sunrise/sunset won't work for some people will it?

Oh and we don't have highway patrol, and unless you are a big man in the government we are barely allowed to walk to our cityhall, yet alone bring our cars.

[ZING]

You/car next to a fit/aveo?

So lame, can't think of anything.

[Cortland Yaris User]

hey, how about speeding camera pix (the one that get your in trouble with cameras on major roads, and they send you a violation tix with the actual pix). This might not qualify though with this forum- just a thought

[ZING]

^ No speed encouragement hehe. Plus we have none of those speed cameras here.

[Cortland Yaris User]

Boy, Cleveland Ohio (downtown) is like a big-brother city... cameras all over... you don't even have to try to look for them... you would just be surprise to get a tix thru the mail of a violation (not purposeful)... even like a month past...

[33OH]

I think it would be a good idea to give each objective a certain score, more risky/gutsy/harder to do, more points awarded and person with most points gets the win.

I agree with this. We're probably not going to be able to find certain "hunts" that people all over the world can all agree on. This way, everyone can participate and not have to get ALL of the hunts. :clap:

[cali yaris]

I think we're just thinking of examples, and the actual list and contest has not yet begun. So no one should say they're "out" quite yet!

[ZING]

+1 on points


But who would the judge be? Blackyaris?

[33OH]

I'm sure it'll be a public picture contest, with everyone posting their results in a thread. He would probably be the ultimate judge, but we could all see/comment on the pictures.

[KCALB SIRAY]

~ You/your car next to a lawn jockey or garden gnome
~ Pretty much every state has an EPA office so a picture of you/your car and the sign of that building
~ Picture of you/your car next to a beer truck
~ You/your car in the parking lot of a professional sports stadium
~ Picture of how many people can fit in your car at once

[ZING]

keep them coming.... great ideas so far..... my goal is a 100 items on the list


Don't you think a hundred is a little too much?

[KCALB SIRAY]

~ You/your car and the person who sold you the car

[Black Yaris]

Don't you think a hundred is a little too much?
well 100 items makes it so more ppl can participate, and there also is going to be a time limit

I'm sure it'll be a public picture contest, with everyone posting their results in a thread. He would probably be the ultimate judge, but we could all see/comment on the pictures.
exactly, I do think one or more people, not in the contest should say if the picture forfills the list item or not
+1 on points
But who would the judge be? Blackyaris?
not sure about points, we could have 5 very hard pictures worth double, or something like that

I think we're just thinking of examples, and the actual list and contest has not yet begun. So no one should say they're "out" quite yet!

I love the violation ticket idea, as a bonus pic, but not a required one.... They are bad in Toledo too..... I have a couple of those, they send you a link to the video as well here

[Black Yaris]

Well since this was just an interest thread.... here is the official Idea's thread
