States around the country are introducing new incentive plans in an effort to convince its residents to become fully vaccinated. Whether it’s entry into a lottery or a free donut, it’s been encouraging people to get the jab. But West Virginia knows what’s up. West Virginia might go ahead and give you a Ford F-150 truck if you’ve gotten vaccinated.

During his coronavirus briefing, West Virginia Governor Jim Justice stated, “I don’t want to sit back and let Ohio dominate the news.” Ohio, of course, has been making headlines as it crowned its first , a woman named Abbigail Bugenske. Another college student, Joseph Costello, earned a scholarship to pay for his entire education.

West Virginia wants to join in the fun. Gov. Justice noted that the full rules of the contest will be announced this upcoming Tuesday, June 1, but we can expect it to include million-dollar prize lottery drawings, scholarships, and Ford F-150 trucks.

There’s currently no word on any other details, including the number of trucks that will be available to the public, nor do we know the model year—as in, whether or not these trucks will be new. You’d certainly hope so, but even a used F-150 is a pretty good incentive for a country that loves its trucks.

Other states have offered some interesting car-related incentives. Alabama let vaccinated adults drive the Talladega Superspeedway, which was both very cool and also hilarious as folks learned how to navigate a banked oval in minivans for the first time. As part of Maine’s push to get folks back outside, it’s offering several options that include hunting licenses or even an Oxford Plains Speedway Pass to see a race during the year. In Detroit, you can earn a $50 gift card just for driving someone else to their vaccination appointment.

The Porsche-Designed Mercedes-Benz 500 E On Its 30th Birthday
As I sat down to write this article, my husband took one look at the header image of the Mercedes-Benz 500 E and didn’t hesitate to ask, “Can I have one?” And on today, the car’s 30th birthday, it’s time to look back at the history of this Porsche-designed...

Electric Cars Need To Be Driven Further, Owned Longer To Offset Embedded Carbon: Report
Electric Cars Need To Be Driven Further, Owned Longer To Offset Embedded Carbon: Report
There has been a fairly consistent back-and-forth when it comes to the relative eco-friendliness of electric vehicles. While it’s obvious that they don’t emit carbon due to burning gasoline, other academics argue that EVs are still a detriment to the environment because carbon emissions are created when building or...

Watch A Drunk Old Golf Dude Slowly Rampage A Golf Cart And End Up On His Face
I know golf carts aren’t really cars, but, at the same time, they’re kind of cars. Smaller, slower, less of everything (and ), but they’re still motorized vehicles, and as such, it’s probably not a good idea to try and drive one while drunk. Someone maybe should have told...

At $14,900, Would Buying This 1946 Willys-Overland CJ2A Be A Memorable Experience?
At $14,900, Would Buying This 1946 Willys-Overland CJ2A Be A Memorable Experience?
Today’s Willys is the first civilian edition of the Jeep that helped win WWII. This being Memorial Day in the U.S., that seems fitting. We’ll have to decide if this bare-bones four-by-four’s price is equally fitting. The start of a long weekend always puts people in a good mood....

Let's Debate: Flashers On Or Off In A Rain Storm?
Florida is considering a wild new law that goes against everything many of us have been taught. It’s considering allowing drivers the ability to turn on their flashers, or hazard lights, in heavy rain. Now, most of us probably learned that this is a bad idea. Hazard lights are...
