Here at the staff of Jalopnik, there’s nothing we love more than . Gridlock, parking costs, harsh winters, a near-constant temptation to dump your ride in the Gowanus Canal and tell your insurance company it was “stolen”... it’s not an easy life! But we are throwing our party here in New York, and we know some of you locals—or out-of-town visitors—are willing to make the same sacrifice we do. Tell us what you drive, and you may get prime parking at the event.

The 2019 24 Hour Le Manstravaganza Party happens next weekend, June 15-16, and we’ve staked out a pretty rad place to do it: The Hamilton event space in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It has a small parking lot up front (small, I cannot emphasize this enough) and while it can’t accommodate everyone, it does have space for a small reader car gathering.

That’s why we’re going to pick the weirdest, wildest, most interesting reader cars to put on display there for all to see and enjoy during the party.

Wanna try your luck? Here’s how it works:

Make sure you . It’s free!

Send us an email at with the subject line “Car Show” and some pics of your ride and a description of why it rules so hard. Why do you think it deserves the spotlight?

It doesn’t matter if you’re a local or road-tripping in, by the way. All are welcome to submit.

We, the staff, will pick out our favorites and let you know if you’re a winner. Again, it’s all free, so nothing to pay for here.

If you are a winner you get to put your car on display at the party that weekend. Will you let people touch the car? I suppose that is between you and your Creator.

Fortunately Red Hook is one of the more street parking-friendly neighborhoods in Brooklyn, so you probably will be able to find something over there. There are also various parking garages in some of the neighborhoods around Red Hook.

At the same time we highly encourage you to make use of NYC’s public transit or ride-sharing cars.

Regardless of how you get there, we have a fun 24 hours planned for you, full of food, booze, watching the race coverage, movies, video games, puzzles, a workout session led by our own Alanis King, and much more.

, and please let us know if you have any questions. We hope to see you soon!
