Default Vote for a P-51 Mustang to be a new Garmin Icon!

For the last four weeks Garmin has been conducting a contest where individuals can draw a vehicle and enter it for a chance to have their vehicle idea made into a Garmin Garage Vehicle for the Nüvi series and other Garmin GPS devices. I made it into the the top five finalist during week two but now I need your help to vote for me, help me beat the commercial artist, and allow my entry to be the first airplane (and a classic warbird at that!) ever to become a Garmin Garage Vehicle! After the contest is over you can then download this vehicle (along with alot of others) for free and put it on you Garmin GPS. Help the Mustang win!!



I am in the third line from the top (”Wingman” by Drew P. of Orlando, FL). It is one vote per computer so if you have two or more computers you can vote with each one.

Click this link to vote: Garmin | Garage
For copy and paste: www8.garmin.com/vehicles/mechanic/vote.html

You can also go to my website ParrishCo.com for more information on what this all is.

Thank you SO much (in advance) for your help!!

Dude, don't need to spam all the forums! However I think it's a cool idea and am voting.

Sorry guys Im really not trying to spam but there are only a few days left to vote and I figure most people are like me - I never come up into the plane forums because I am a heli guy. So I assume theres the same division between electric and gas. Dont mean to spread bad blood....

Also Im not sure it counts as spam since its not a commercial interest, nor porn or prescription meds or any other shady thing. Just a cool idea that I though you guys would like to see as much as me.

I dont see it as spam.... I see it on the same level as anyone asking anybody to do anything for them. Vote for so and so, or such and such. He's not selling anything. No SPAM here...

Thanks Toro. You are exactly right. Im just asking you guys who have the same interests as me for a favor. Im just asking for literally two seconds of your time to vote to get a cool plane icon for everyones GPS. Since this is a flying forum I know there must be many more people like me who would LOVE to have it too and heres the opportunity!

Yep, I had to help with the Mustang as well, great choice. I did however notice that it is leading at 18% with a 16% not to far behind. I don't know if it hit you guysthe same way as it did me, but I saw the hamster looking dudes with the 16% and for some reason had this instant song in my head that had something to do with Wesse
