Default Texas guys, Help me win this car!

I haven't been on this site in a while due to lack of funds and loss of interest in running 12.8's all the time with no money for mods. I'm currently a student at UH and am working at Discount Tire Co. in Pearland. This isn't some sob story or anything because the money I do make goes into the business I'm currently starting but I did happen upon this opportunity to win a free car so I'm asking for help from any possible place.



This is the Nissan Leaf that I test drove and took a nervous video of myself through Nissan to promote the car. I have until February 9th to collect votes for my video. If I get the most votes I get the car for free! Please help me out by voting for me and sharing this link with your friends and family! Any and all votes will be appreciated! To vote you just have to follow a link and use your email to vote and then verify through a confirmation email from Nissan! I read all the fine print on this contest and it says that other than the one email to confirm your vote, Nissan will not send any other promotions or spam to you at all. Please invite all your friends and family to vote! Thanks again everybody!

The link is right here : https://drivenissanleaf.com/Win/Vote...b=KZ96KTCD8FNZ

Right now my daily is a chevy astro van so I don't think this is a downgrade from that. The reason for wanting it, it's a free car! Even if it doesn't suit my needs I can always sell it and buy parts for the Firehawk and put it in the 9's, or supplement my business. This is a win/win/win for me unless I lose the contest. As far as my reputation, I'm not 100% sure but I think that one's covered by the other aspects of my life. I think this would help my soul by preserving the earth a little. That's a good thing right?

HAHAHA! The astro van has a place in my life. I'm starting a delivery business so I bought a van with a college budget. Then the firehawk started to have some problems and i had to leave it sitting for a while. I only drive it occasionally now due to paint problems on the hood and a leaking long tube on the first bank. Thank you for the support though! This is why I love Texas!

If I win I'll refund you the money. I think that's a little bit of incentive to show this link to friends, family, and coworkers. I might even throw in the second speaker due to my excitement of a free car!

Thank you everybody else for voting so quickly. I have 29 days left of voting for my video.
