And the winner of a new car is...

After begging you nonstop for weeks...
After posting numerous Facebook updates and sending emails...
After walking the VCU campus for hours and giving out candy to 500 students...
After receiving more votes (1200+) than any other video...

 Today we learned we did *NOT* win a new car from AAA.

Who did win? Not the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth place contestant...no, the SIXTH PLACE CONTESANT (who earned 300 votes) will be driving a brand new Lexus.

Why didn't we win? We're not really sure. All AAA will tell us is each "KUDOS" vote had to meet three criteria...and apparently 900 our votes met that criteria.

They will not tell us what the criteria is, how many of our votes were disqualified, why this was not explained in the rules, why the rules were changed in the middle of the contest, and why the winner was announced a week and a half later than scheduled.

We can't thank you enough for helping us out. EVERYONE was so supportive and kind. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
