+Lakeshore Geocachers Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 The point is that so what if somebody won the contest...the REAL winner is the first corporate sponsor of 'caching, Daimler Chrysler...We fall all over ourselves to find the white one or the yellow one or the green one and next year we will do it all over...and everytime we find one the little icon shows up...did you know that is a trademarked icon? the 7 slot grill design is a company registered trademark...this from a Mega Corp that will sue plastic model makers for using the name "Jeep" and will make them pull their product even though the model is of a WW2 General Purpose(GP) vehicle, 1/4 ton...The funny one is I went to the dealership where I bought mine (yep I own one...one of two in the family...three if ya count the Ex) and asked if I could plant a cache behind the lot in the woods...THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT GEOCACHING and about DC's advertising ploy...they were surprised when I showed them the Green Jeep TB I had and commented that "We don't even make that thing" (The Rescue was a concept vehicle from 2005/2006) I hope who ever won the contest likes the prizes...nothing can compare to the prize that DC sees every time just ONE of us goes..Hmmm..maybe I should look at a Jeep...

And both the drawing for the jeep and the sweepstakes contest contest does not end until DEC 31, 2006 Then why did they state the winner will be choosen on 29 Sep 2006 for August, and so forth. I know I have kind of lost interest in the whole thing. Quote Link to comment
+laughingcat Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Shocker. No Geocacher claimed the Green Mountain (CO) Green Jeep from my Gem & Estelle Cache - must have been the grizzlies.... we've got one in a cache locally that isn't near that hard to get to (from the brief read I did of the page) and no one has gone to get it either! Guess they aren't really in such demand? Quote Link to comment

Interesting post from a Jeep owner. Anyway, didn't the courts find that the 7 slot grill design couldn't be considered a trademark when the company sued Hummer? Quote Link to comment
CoyoteRed Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Anyway, didn't the courts find that the 7 slot grill design couldn't be considered a trademark when the company sued Hummer? Yes, it did. Jeep lost. On the other hand, Hummer should slap itself for trying to pass off most of it's vehicles as a Hummer considering the name invokes images of over-engineered military-grade ruggedness and anything less than an H1 is little more than that of the rest of the GM line.

Why would they do that when they can sell them faster than they can make them at $35,000+? Quote Link to comment

Ok and??? Like it's a surprise that not everybody in a company knows everything about what the company is doing??? Maybe I'm disgruntled b/c of my work, but for me, every day is a surprise....what's new today?...when i go to work. Yes it's coporate sponsorship, and yes it's a contest, and yes....<sigh> anyway...If they want to give away a few GPSr's and a new car, goodie. Why are so many so dadgum vehement about the "purity" of the sport/hobby? One thing I've learned from reading these forums is that many of us are reasonably intelligent human beings who won't be taken in by silly promos like this. So, take their crap and go buy a Honda. Whatever. I watched every Superbowl commercial I could find, but I don't register my domain names at GoDaddy.com, I didn't save a bundle on my car insurance by switching to Geico, and I don't drink Budweiser, or any other beer for that matter, no matter how cute those horses are. Commercialism is everywhere, and yes, even here. So, just do what I do, move the bugs, scan through commercials (or read during them if they're live), and just tell this poor what PERSON won the monthy giveaway contest this month (I know it's answered later in the thread, but that's not the point). BTW: Jeeps are gas guzzlers, and I have to stop myself from LMAO whenever I see one of these poor schleps pull into a gas station... Just my 2 cents. --MGB Quote Link to comment

+michigansnorkelers Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 (edited) MAYBE IT'S ME! WARNING: Statement of shameless self promotion follows I broke my leg geocaching, yet continued to risk life and limb pursuing rubbermaid containers. Yes, I continued geocaching on crutches with my leg in a Darth Vader boot. And, yes, I'm the guy they talked about on a recent Podcacher Podcast (Hazards of Geocaching 4). When I found a Jeep TB on my 100'th cache, with the theme being ADVENTURE, I just couldn't resist. What could be more adventureous? Anyway, my image is on the second contest page. After all, I warned you, this is a statement of shameless self promotion. Edited November 2, 2006 by michigansnorkeler Quote Link to comment
+GarminArmin Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 (edited) To those of you who have been wondering and those that been e-mailing us… Yes we received the first prize Garmin GPSMap 60Cx today and this unit is hands down better than the GPSMap 60CS. It locks on to satellites right away even under the cover of a Spanish tile roof. Now we have to purchase another unlock code from Garmin for the maps. Plus we don’t have to calibrate the compass at every battery change. We are going to enjoy this one for a long time to come. Thanks to everyone that made this possible.
