Default How To Get Free New Car In 48 Hours Challenge Refined.

Hi,

Here is the challenge refined:

Your challenge is to get a free new car to control for your business/pleasure for as long as YOU like.

1.You are in a place YOU choose.
2. It is forbidden to use cash.
3. It is forbidden to use credit (you have only your driver's license on you).
4. It is forbidden to ask friends and relatives to BUY a car for you.
5. You CAN'T first make money IN ORDER to buy the car (this excludes selling hotcakes or whatever and THEN buying the car).
6. You can't BUY the car at all.
7. It has to be stipulated by YOU from the start HOW you would like to get a car (this shows that your actions are to be planned from the start and excludes any "just take action" impulse)
8. You CAN'T get the car as a gift.

You have to do least work to be a winner.

You CAN'T use Yellow Pages (this one is easy to check by following you).
You can't sell anything you possess to pay for the car.

You can't get ANY car in 48 hours. Only the one you specified from the start (for example, green Honda Accord 2000 with further specifications).

You CAN'T lie, you can't steal a car.
You CAN'T use a phone.
You CAN'T use the Internet.
You CAN'T get the car for something you PROMISE to do/achieve.
You can't ask for it from charity.
You can't ask it from the car manufacturer.
You CAN'T contact the manufacturer at all.
You CAN'T use your business card.
You CAN'T get a job in order to get the car.

You can't own the car.

If you solve this your reward will be your skill to get any car in the world (not only a car) and to change it at your whim.

The solution DOES exist.

Default well i got an idea but first these posts.

sure would make a great 2 or 3 step marketing campaign for a $97 book telling you how to get a car you want. hahaha
only joking Simon although there is an element of truth.

Ok my idea

I would a function where local or national top businesses are represented and would talk to as many business people as possible to try to find a mutual interest or 'love'. This would then be my hook and I would ,via our mutual 'love', introduce my self and my lifestyle to the business person. Explaining that in my life I would drive a lot and my car is seen at some very influential places and by influential people on many occassions. I would then go on to say 'now if had the car of my current dreams (Nissan Skyline) that would get noticed even more by these influential people. Most everyone would come to look at it and want a drive in it. Just suppose that your companies logo message was emblazoned on my car. How many people would a)look at the car and b)see your company message.
Instant unique access to a target market for your business. The only thing is in my current situation i cant afford a Skyline vecause I want to spend my money on our mutual 'love' (dogs,gardening, whatever it is)
I then keep quiet while he/she thinks
See if they supply the car its not a gift its a business transaction that benefits us both and is a direct result of the respect we have for each other due to our mutual 'love'

I could have told this better but the facts are the same.

Default A Couple Of "Warmer" Points & A Couple Of Hints...

Mike,

$97?
You've got to be kidding!
$97 is for something worthless.

"Warmer" points.
1.Love for cars is enough.
2.Don't promise. The benefits of the solution should be evident to any party involved.
3.Some message(s) should definitely be emblazoned on the car.
4.There should be a huge gathering of people.
5. You "can't afford"? THEY can't afford NOT "supplying" the cars.

Hints:
Barnum did "this".
Bernays did "this".
The solution is a win-win-win-win... thing.

Simon
