Vote for Tucker!

OK, just did my bit and voted for the ol' torpedo, but don't you think that voting more than once is a little dishonest or am I just being a Pollyana? Torpedohead

Oh, come on! Its not like the fate our nation hinges on the outcome of this election. Padding the count with extra votes is harmless. Besides, if a serious computer programmer out there became interested in outcome of this contest, you can bet that he'd whip out a simple program to automatically vote for his favorite car every few seconds.

Of note, an industrial design blog has some nice comments about the selection of the Tucker: http://www.core77.com/blog/object_cultu ... _18354.asp

A 1929 Miller race car and a 1948 Tucker. We suppose the Miller's interesting because it's supercharged, but what really gets our juices going is that '48 Tucker, the radically-designed failure made famous by the 1988 Coppola movie.

Secondly, industrial designer Read Viemeister, one of the original creators of ID Magazine, was on Preston Tucker's design team. His son, designer Tucker Viemeister, was named after Preston.
