Going Home with the eBay Motors Mustang

A few days ago, I got a chance to check out the eBay Motors Mustang while it was here on our campus. But we didn't get to enjoy it for very long, as it was awarded as the grand prize the very next night at the launch party for Codemasters' GRID racing video game. Five contestants who had completed a lap in the game with the fastest times squared off at the historic Hotel Vitale in San Francisco, with the winner walking (or rather, driving) away with the eBay Motors Mustang.

After some stout competition (and a few nerves), Timothy B. came out on top with a time of 1:40:32. He was EXTREMELY excited, and with good reason. Not only did he win the Mustang, but it would be his very first car - because he's only 16! Bigdownload.com, which covered the event, had this great recap in their post:

"For Timothy B., winning the event was a dream come true, as well as an ironic (and terrifying) twist of fate for parents everywhere. Timothy was accompanied to the event by his father, who, it seems, will be the one begging for the car keys every Saturday night."

That's Timothy to the right holding up the much-less-important "other" trophy he got for his victory.  Make sure to check out their Gallery from the event as well for some fantastic photos of the party, and of the gorgeous San Francisco scenery. And congratulations, Timothy!
