Made it into USA Today!

Trinity · Post by **Trinity** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 11:20 pm

I submitted a photo of myself and my cars for an article about "American car owners"... and I made it in. A few times lol

This morning it was front page online... but my friend is the only one with a print out of that. However I was informed on CaliberForums that I was on the front page of the print edition! I ran out to about three 7-11s and a book store just to find a copy (apparently newspapers run thin around 1pm lol).

heres some screen shots and a scan.

the guy with his shirt off scares me...

i'm psyched

Even if it is just a small picture, it's not every day someone can say they were on the front page of a national paper!

I'm surprised I found one at a local gas station at 11:45 PM:

I thought they might have had your picture inside, but they didn't even have your name.

I think getting the only colour picture for the print article and being used 4 times online is enough! lol

Imagine my surprise as I was walking into a Steak 'n' Shake for lunch on Monday and saw your pic on the paper in the newsbox by the front door of the restaurant. I did a double take- I just couldn't believe it- and immediately got quarters from the cashier to grab a copy. I was disappointed that there wasn't a quote from you inside but you did make it onto the cover and the only color pic that they used in the article.

Yes, USA Today is national- it's published by Gannett, the same company that owns the Indianapolis Star and several other papers in Indiana.

That's pretty neat!

I'm actually surprised there are a few people who didn't think USA Today was circulated nationally.

I'm assuming you mean internationally. Why wouldn't the "USA Today" get distributed nationally
