Clickity!The mini "essay" my friend wrote to enter:
Dear Mr. Sanford:
I hear that you have a gently-used van, and have no space to put it. As a very responsible 16 year old who is on the verge of getting his driver’s license, I have a pressing need for a van, in order to mobilize my many windsurfing and camping endeavors. Should I need to drive my friends as well, my dad’s formula board appears wide enough to make a serviceable bench. I bet you will get many essays from windsurfers who would like a second windsurfing vehicle, but why send your beloved van to a reader who already has a car, instead of someone who needs wheels?
Considering your extremely diligent care of the van, I would feel a need to continue this legacy of good automobile care, and frequent oil changes. To that effect, I think I have seen an oil wrench in the vehicle. You may be concerned that I will crash the van, but I promise to have my first crash in my mom’s SUV.
It is common knowledge that bigger is better; whether it be formula gear, savings accounts, or cars. But when it comes down removing another car from your parking space(s), only a unimog would fare better. And, this deal will benefit windsurfing magazine as well! I will drive my van to school, where I will park it in a narrow street, making it impossible to not notice that the street space is being taken up by an official windsurfing magazine van.
Most of all, instead of begging my dad to borrow a car, he will be begging me for the keys to the van!
Sincerely,
Marek Prussak
The contest ends on July 1st.
