Corey’s “Free Ride” Blog: Purple Rain

There are certain things that I can and can’t do with your new Jeep Wrangler.

11am – 12:43pm: Fountain Tire (1345 Industrial Road, West Kelowna)
It’s just a few days from Fountain Tire’s big Saturday BBQ and Show ‘n Shine, so I’m back for 103 minutes.
This is actually the first of two back-to-back Fountain Tire morning Jeep remotes.  Today, I was again reminded of how many Jeeps there are around town!  At one point, there were three additional Jeeps in the parking lot.  The gem of them all belonged to Laura, who had a tricked out purple Jeep Wrangler; this vehicle was amazing!  It’s the perfect example of what one can do with this free Jeep!  Laura had the roof off, doors off, soft cover… see the photos.  The free Jeep you are trying to win can do all of these things, but since “WIN THIS RIDE” is decaled on the back window, I am going to leave it on (frankly, I don’t think the boss would be cool with me taking that off). But I CAN take front section off (called the Freedom Top). Fingers crossed on the weather!

3 – 4:43pm: Kelowna Cruises (230 Queensway)
In case you were wondering how to rapidly disappoint someone from out of town, I’ve figured it out; excite them with the prospect of winning a new Jeep, and then break the news that they are ineligible.
This was essentially my afternoon downtown.  Scores of visitors to our fair city, but the revelation that they would not be around on August 11th for the Rock the Lake Jeep giveaway did incite a few “awwws.”  Full disclosure: sometimes it’s so busy at that table, that I am talking to one person, and I am seeing that someone is writing down a non-BC city and dropping it into the box.  Instead of loudly saying “Noooo!!” I choose to let them walk away believing that they have entered the contest. Ah well. They will go home with fond memories of Kelowna, and our awesome radio station, 103.1 Beach Radio.
My “Do Not Ticket” Ticket gang came by; April and Stewart from the City of Kelowna parking department.  They have such a great disposition!
