tjthorson Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Some of you may remember me as the guy who bought my parents (really my dad) a 1964 Riviera. Of all the Buicks he had, his 1965, in green mist, was his favorite. He has been enjoying his car, hitting some car shows, getting some trophys, etc.Last month I submitted his car for "I Love My Car" on ABC7 chicago. His car was chosen as one of the cars to be featured. Now, there is an online vote to determine "Car of the Month" - you can vote once from each PC you have. Nice thing about this poll - you dont have to put in an email, sign up for anything, etc. Just a simple poll. So - please take a moment and vote today if you can - thanks!Might be obvious - but its listed as "Phil Thorson's 1964 Buick Riviera"Vote for I Love My Car: Which is your favorite? | abc7chicago.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleach Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I voted even without seeing the car first. If it's a Riviera, it gets my vote.Here it is in case you need to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadetree77 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I just voted for it. Your dad's Riv had 92% when I voted so it's looking good. Anyway, good luck! Let us know how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjthorson Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Nice Riv........It just got my vote....Thanks! Im surprised you could still vote, the voting ended early this morning and they announced it on the air that he had won. I captured it on the DVR and was going to dump it to youtube tonight and post back to thank everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheezeMan Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Terrific!I must have voted really early, because at that point the Thunderbird was way ahead in vote, and I was a little worried.Great job Team!! Naturally, it was an awesome car to begin with so this vote thing was just a formality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 When I voted, a few of the cars, including the Riv, had 1% each and the '55 Bird had 92%. Glad to see what an organized group can do when asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadetree77 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I fell into the same trap guys. I thought the tbird had 92% as well and I was in the process of typing a response to that to post here when, for whatever reason, I pulled up the results again. If you look at the way they have it organized, the results for each car are above the name of the car, not below. So in truth, the Riviera had 92%. It was easy to do. When you look at the list it just automatically seems like the results for each car should have been below the name but starting from the top, it wasn't organized that way. Anyway, congrats on the win!!! Make sure you post that Youtube link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjthorson Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 OK - got it to video tonight! Thanks all! Some of the facts are a little skewed, like I put in my submission that this was an original Super Wildcat, 360hp dual-quad car.... But I digress...Enjoy!

Guest Rob J Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Yep, typical of most newscasters. That guy was totally clueless!!! As distorted as his description of the car was, imagine what other more serious nonsense get's reported to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
