    Here at High Gear Media, the write-about-cars-and-win contest truck – a metaphorical truck, but a truck nonetheless filled to brim with cash and prizes – just keeps on…. well, trucking.

    And we have winners to announce for our first July contest!

    The deal this time around was as follows:

    * Top publisher from July 1 – July 11 (total stories published): wins $100
    * Mystery prize – all published stories count as sweepstakes entries

    Well, it turns out that we have multiple mystery prizes to distribute !

    But first, our top publisher is Pauline Abreu, who came in at six stories. Congrats Pauline on winning $100!

    Now, for the mystery prizes. First, we have a copy of Muscle Cars, which Matt Rigney at Camaro Blog reviewed recently. That prize goes to Matthew Malamut, congrats !

    And we also have four t-shirts from Discovery Channel’s Ultimate Car Build Off. These go to:

    * Anne Proffit
    * Justin Kaehler
    * Simon Norman
    * Bruce Richter

    Check out the amazing-looking trailer for the Ultimate Car Build-Off:

    Thank you to all who participated!

    Also important to note: we are in the middle of a new contest where the cash prize is DOUBLED: $200 cash up for grabs between this Monday and next Friday night (July 23rd, midnight PST) for top publisher based on number of stories published, and more mystery prize goodness.

    AND there’s a month-long COOL mystery prize up for grabs as well where all published stories in July count as entries.
