*Puts pinky to corner of mouth, has an idea.*

[Camino LS6]

I can think of a recipe, too bad that I have no rendering skills.

[§carlet §wordfish]

Wanna collaborate?

[Intrepidation]

I have an idea.

[Camino LS6]

Wanna collaborate?

Got your PM and sent a response.

[Drew Dowdell]

You guys just gave me an AWESOME new idea for contests :-)

[Camino LS6]

Glad to hear it.

I think I'm with you.

Buy a Lexus GX460, slap a Cadillac grill on the front and some vertical tail lights on the back, done. It's not like the people who buy these could tell the difference anyways

[§carlet §wordfish]

Where's the fun in that?

Start w/ a Chevy Traverse...it would be a Lambda..the Traverse makes more sense as a starting point than the Acacia or Enclave because it's slab sided styling would work well w/ crisp Caddy ends and details, I think..

So I guess I get to keep this R/C Escalade? It arrived on Friday.

[§carlet §wordfish]

I'm working on it. Or maybe if no one else makes an entry I won't work on it anymore and just turn in the first sketch I made.

[Camino LS6]

Keep working on it, it has potential.

I have an idea for DF too, if he's interested.

[MRDETROITMETAL]

OK...I am there....

[Drew Dowdell]

Since there aren't any submissions yet, this contest has been extended to June 15th.... but it's the only extension... otherwise I keep the RC car for myself.

[Drew Dowdell]

Still no submissions?

[ocnblu]

This is unconscionable. Back in the day we had very lively sketching and photoshopping contests. And that was BP (before prizes).

[Turbojett]

I would but I don't care for Cadillac having SUVs or crossovers at all, myself. That's almost like Porsche having an SUV or crosso--oh, wait...

[Camino LS6]

So sketch an "uncrossover", TJ!

[Intrepidation]

Just haven't had the time yet.

lol, I'd probably end up making something stoopit like a Cadillac X6M.

perhaps I'll give it a try. I dunno though.

DO IT. DO IT.

I will submit something, even if it's not 'til the last minute like I usually do. I have just been hella busy with school work, hopelessly looking for a job, and getting ready for my sister's open house.

[§carlet §wordfish]

Sketch.

Now someone else enter something. I don't want my first ever win to be by default.

[Lance Truthhammer]

I used to love the design competitions here. If I weren't currently busy studying for the bar exam, I would give it a shot. It's been a long time.
