Introducing a contest from My American Journey.

A prize goes to the first person who can correctly guess the year, make and model of the vehicle I bought to replace my 4Runner. The prize is a copy of “The End of Poverty,” by Jeffrey Sachs. And the sense of accomplishment that comes from winning a contest.

Here’s a hint: it’s bigger than a 4Runner, but less reliable.

Make your guesses in the comments section of this post. Your guess doesn’t count if it’s made on a different post. Each person gets a maximum of one guess per day, and you’re not allowed to play if you live in British Columbia or Alaska, because if you live in one of those places you’ve probably already seen the replacement vehicle.

The contect ends two weeks from today. More hints in future posts.

Good luck!
