Get a free EcoModder decal (as reward for doing an easy favour)

[MetroMPG]

Tim and I were talking about just that today.

We're going to post a few threads that will be easy to post in (with no specific knowledge of the car required). Will report back here to let you know about them.

Anybody interested in a free EM decal or two in return for doing something really easy? Something you already do lots of?

Tim (daox) and I are starting a dedicated forum for a new car. We'd like to jump start it (the new forum, not the car) by inviting members from here to make posts over there. The forum is about a new economy car, so the subject matter isn't a stretch -- no acting required! (I can see this vehicle being genuinely interesting to lots of people.)

Specifics...

• We were thinking: make N posts on the new site, and we'll send you a decal. Make N*1.75 posts and we'll send you a pair. How about N=25.

• We only ask that your posts/threads be somewhat thoughtful, not just the "me too!" variety. (Though you're welcome to make "me too!" posts if you don't count them towards N.)

• And we ask that you space out your posts over the course of 3 or 4 weeks, rather than blowing the whole wad on your first day.

Interested?

We would definitely appreciate the help.

Post in this thread to put up your hand. Tim or I will PM you the details. (Keeping things secret until we're ready to go next week.)

It may be Nissan's most efficient ICE car, but if so, not significantly more than the Versa sedan or Versa Note, because they share the same 1.6L engine and tranmissions (except CVT). Official fuel economy figures haven't been released yet, but I did some homework and have posted reasonable estimates: 2015 Nissan Micra fuel economy / mileage / mpg (NRCAN, EPA)

The car's trump card is its shockingly low price: $9998 for the base car (5-speed, no air conditioning). That's ~$2k+ below the next cheapest, Chevy Spark & Mitsubishi Mirage.

There are no official plans for US sales. But there's always speculation.

So! Volunteers, feel free to head over to www.Micra-Forum.com - we've started posting threads. Feel free to join in. I divided you into three shifts, staggered by 2 weeks:

1) for the next ~30 days (to approx. Mar. 20)

2) Mar 3: 30 days to approx Apr. 3

Of course, you can join & post whenever you like, and are welcome to make more than "N" posts. To claim your decal(s), just PM me with your name & mailing address at the end of your 30 days.

Thanks again, everybody.

count me in,

I'm curious about this little car

Thanks to everyone who has taken/is taking part, the Micra forum has some good discussion and a more lived-in feel thanks to your contribution. Much more inviting to new members.

But so far I've only had one person PM me to claim decals. Don't forget to send me your name/mailing address when you're ready.

Thanks for the decals Darin! They showed up Tuesday.

I don't feel like I've earned it yet. At first I was able to add some content, but lately it's just chatting on body kits. Weak.

I would like to do more before I try to claim anything :/

[RedDevil]

Idem.
Plus in my case you'd need to send the decal over the big water, so I need to put in some extra effort, right?
