Road Trip 2: The Return of Awesome Challenges

posted 3 years ago

We’re starting our Road Trip back to NC. Wouldn’t it be cool if we made up our own challenges and had some more fun along the way home?

Let’s crowdsource this Teams. Send your ideas to our tumblr site or just call us in the Chevy Equinox at 313-618-4069.

Here is the start of the list…

  1. Find and eat at a Chick-fil-a in Texas. Trust me this is harder than it looks.
  2. Take a photo with your Chevy with someone with huge sideburns. 
  3. Best Lip-dub music video. (if you don’t know what lip-dub is, watch this classic)
  4. Funniest GeoSocial check-in (fake or otherwise).
  5. Tell your favorite moment or challenge on the trip.
  6. We’re thinking about more… add yours 

Points are going to be scored by vote only. NO retweets. There will be one and only one winner of each challenge. The team with the most Awesomeness aka wins, uh, wins. Polls will be posted along with the items. This is just for fun and the winning team(s) are the ones that have the most fun. We are just trying to grow this road trip experience. 

And hey, If you’re not in the mood for more Chevy SXSW Road Trip challenges, then that’s cool. We understand. Safe travels everyone.

Note: No jumping in photos. We’re talking to you Detroit.
