Many of you have noticed an outage today of the WebRidesTV.com website.  We have performed a much needed performance update to the code of the website, and you will be happy to know that means that you will enjoy (slightly) faster load times for all pages!

We’ve still got plenty of things to fix around here, but just like our cars, we like our websites fast as well.

Everything should be back to normal now, thanks.

One of the winners of the “Amazon Rush” (we’ve lovingly labeled it that here at WRTV HQ) was user AdamThreeFifths, and he’s sent in a picture of himself pimpin’ his Amazon.com gift code, delivered to him via snail mail!

Cheers buddy, you deserve it!  Keep it locked on WebRidesTV.com for more cool Schwag stories, and keep watching our videos for more opportunities to pimp your ride with cool free stuff!

Hi!  I was watching this video and I wanted to answer the trivia question.  I’m sorry if this is the wrong place to send it, but the host only said webridestv.com. The tail lights are called the Painless 80226, found first on the 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Sedan.

Thanks,
Biki209

Biki209, you are the winner with your amazing answer! To be honest, nobody even came close to the completeness of this answer, and we are proud to award you with +500 Credits for use in our SchwagMart!

Keep your eyes peeled for more opportunities to answer trivia questions for extra credit, and drop by Biki209’s profile to congratulate him as the first winner of SchwagMart Trivia! Of course, you need to register for the website to be eligible for the free stuff, so get to it!

We hit up the Motorsports Parts Manufacturers Council Trade Media Conference and chat with the Garrett folks about turbocharging!  Thanks to Scion for sponsoring this video of the week!

CivicSeth wrote us after completing his Hot Wheels order, and upon receipt of the item, obviously fired up his million dollar photography rig for this incredible shot of himself with our Schwag!

Thanks for the Schwag!  It will go great with my other Hot Wheels collection!

Thanks!

Melody4752 of Omaha, NE hooked up some Hot Wheels for her son! She took two seconds to take this picture for us, and has now come one day closer to her coveted big ticket prize! Melody has been awarded 250 extra credits because she sent us this pic, and so can you; just as soon as you get your orders in.

Thanks much, and keep on watching! We have many new ways for you to get credits coming, and the only way you can find out how is to keep checking our website daily for the announcements.

Well, it’s a bittersweet day here at WebRidesTV, with good news and bad news.  We’re sitting here with an extremely large new user base because of our new SchwagMart!  We have to add more servers to our clusters to keep up with the demand!  Weve enjoyed several user submitted pictures featuring SchwagMart items, and we’ve even published a few of them.  Some pictures submitted were too risque even for us!

The SchwagMart has run for a total of 5 weeks, and has been a huge success!  This success has not been without some much needed tweaking, however.

Many have noticed fluxuations in SchwagMart item prices, and have inquired.  We figure that we should speak out a bit and let everyone know that we look to be here for a very long time, and that means changing the rules occasionally.  Hit the jump for the full story. Read the rest of this entry »
