Chicago 'Hot Shots' Ken and Stefanie Ryl Say Farewell to Summer with Style in an All-New 2007 Dodge Nitro
Chicago turned a cold shoulder to summer this morning at North Avenue Beach where two teams competed in the "Dodge Nitro Hot Shots Melt-Off," a race to melt through a giant block of ice to win an all-new 2007 Dodge Nitro. After melting the 30,000-pound block of ice that encased the all-new 2007 Dodge Nitro, father/daughter team Ken and Stefanie Ryl from Arlington Heights, Ill., proved that they were hotter than the competition. The duo was the first to successfully melt through the ice using a predetermined assortment of tools including hand-held heaters, sprayers and power washers. For their efforts, they have each won a 24-month lease on the hottest vehicle for fall, the 2007 Dodge Nitro.
The Ryls were chosen from more than 70 teams who submitted essays explaining why they consider themselves hot shots and why they melt at the thought of driving a new Dodge Nitro. They and their competition, twins Keith and Erik Sykora of Palos Heights, Ill., were chosen to compete in the "Dodge Nitro Hot Shots Melt-Off" challenge based on the originality and creativity of their 100-word submissions. The Sykora twins were awarded $1,000 in prizes for competing.
"'Dodge Nitro Hot Shots Melt-Off' is the latest in a series of programs that encourage consumers to live by the brand's motto to 'Grab Life by the Horns,'" said Tom Loveless, Director -- Dodge Marketing & Global Communications. "Chicagoans are known for being adventurous, outgoing and fun -- just like the Dodge Nitro, the first mid-size SUV for the brand."
