We have a winner: Karen C. of Portland Oregon

Voting is closed. Winner was picked via Random Number Generation at http://www.random.org What do tires and Mario have in common? Absolutely nothing at all.(unless, of course, you're talking about Mario Kart Wii, but that is a stretch.)

They just happen to be two things that we really, really like. With that in mind, we pre-ordered 2 copies of Super Mario Brothers: Wii . One for m..the guys in the office, and another copy for the people who would be kind enough to answer five short questions. No, you don't have to give us your name.


It's only going to be THE hottest game for the holiday season, and I guarantee you, some people are going to be running around at the last minute, with that panicked look on their face, 3 days before Christmas.

They're gonna be all like "I ne...I mean, my kid really needs this game." And the dude at Wal-Mart is gonna be like "Sorry, we're sold out. We can put you on the waiting list for New Year's. I heard that the guy in the computer section at Best Buy is willing to sell his copy, for like, $200." And then, they'll go to the dude at Best Buy, and he'll be like "No way. My fiancé would kill me if I sold this game. Why not buy him Guitar Hero: Moby Edition, instead? Seriously, we can't keep it in stock."

There shall be much wailing, and consternation. Many grown men shall shed tears. All because they didn't take this 1 little survey, for a chance at immortality(or at least, for the chance of getting a free game.)

So take the survey at the bottom of this page. Answer five questions. You don't even have to own a car to participate. We won't contact you, unless you win the game (Yes, for those who are participating in the larger Game, you just lost. Announce your defeat, and move along).

And now, for the legalese, in plain English:

1. You must complete the survey located below, using a valid email address, to win. Once the contest is over(12/18/09), we will contact the winner, and ask them for their name and shipping address, etc. Once the contest is over, we will make their name available, here ----or place a link to their twitter account, should they prefer slightly more anonymity.

2. We will make the results of the survey available to the viewers of our blog, located at http://www.buybigtires.com/wordpress/. We will NOT sell your email addresses(or name associated with your response)to a third party. However, by filling out the survey, you do agree to allow us to use your answers(sans contact information) for our own purposes..mwwwaahhaha (don't worry, we aren't evil.)

3. We have pre-ordered this game from a reputable, online store. As soon as we receive our copies of the game, we'll the winner's copy out. Right now, it looks like it will arrive on 11/18/09 . We will not be held responsible for any delays in shipment through that retailer, or for some oversight by Nintendo, Inc. If we don't get our copy, Mobile Fleet Service, Inc./ BuyBigTires.com, reserves the right to send you an equivalent monetary gift, in the amount of $50. That's the worst case scenario. You win. You get 50 bucks.

4. While this offer is for one (1) US English copy of Super Mario Brothers Wii, International residents may participate. That being said, we reserve the right to ship it in the cheapest method possible. It may arrive next September, via swimming donkey, but you will get your copy.

5. You may not enter multiple times. If we find out you are using a script or bot of any kind to fill out the form, we will disqualify you.

6. Method of choosing a winner: On 12/18/2009, we will print out every email address gathered on a separate sheet of paper, and have a highly trained wolverine gather pick the results. Whichever sheet he drools on first is the winner/ OR if time prohibits us from using that method, we'll enter them into a program that will randomly pick an email (my boss made me put that in there. Go Wolverine!). We will contact the winner via email.

7.Staff, and the immediate family members of Mobile Fleet BuyBigTires.com (Including cousin Ray Jean) are not eligible to win this prize.
