Scroll down to see the details for contest entry and livestream details.
Digital Glovebox
Whether you’re here to compete, show off, learn something new, or just enjoy the ride, there’s a spot for you in every lane.
Road Tales
Got a story that still lives rent-free in your rearview mirror? Time to put it in park and tell it right here. Submit an original story that happened to you centered around a vehicle or car-related moment in the comments section of this page (below) and earn bonus points!
This is your chance to share the moments that happened in, around, or because of a vehicle. Maybe it was a road trip that went completely off-script, a breakdown that turned into a breakthrough, or a random parking lot encounter you still think about. Funny, chaotic, meaningful, unforgettable, if a car was part of the scene, it’s fair game.
How it Works:
- Submit an original story centered around a vehicle or car-related moment
- Stories do not have to be rideshare-related
- Each entry must be your own experience
- Limit up to 3 story submissions per driver
- Earn +50 points per approved entry
- Keep it appropriate and community-friendly
