FIrst Prize, “Are You Ready To Rock?” Category and Biggest Safety Oversight Category: Realwheels.com Cheap Trick Dream Police Tactical Vehicle, for lacking restraint systems in the cargo bed so you can jam while cruising (Sure it looks fun jumping around on the car like in the Rock Band 2 game trailer, right up until you crash through a billboard!):
