I feel lucky and I'm still excited about the car. Everyday I get to look at that sweet desktop background that I've had since I was selected! And I almost didn't get it because I never received an email. The weekend after the drawing, I kept getting phone calls on my cell phone that I didn't recognize. I think most people do the same thing I do in that situation...DON'T ANSWER THEM! Finally, on the Monday after the drawing, I decided to check my voice mail. I had 9 messages on there. Most of them from the dealer trying desparately to get in touch with me. The rules were that you had to respond within 96 hours after notification of being selected (not sure why it wasn't 86 hours). Anyway, I called them back and ended up at the dealership that same day. Had I not listened to the voicemail, they would have moved on to someone else. Scion continued trying to send me the notification email but I would never receive it. They finally realized what the problem was. Years ago, I apparently blocked emails from Scion! SO, I gave them a different email address and I finally got it. If it weren't for the persistance of my dealership, I would have never even found this site!!!

Yes, I feel lucky!!!
