Postal Service Scion Hako Takes Top Honors

Congratulations to reader and USPS aficionado suzq044, for the commentariat have dubbed you the winner of the Scion Hako Redesign competition. We were pulling for the Hakominos and earlier the paper-and-tape Rothified Hako, but saying so may have steered voting so we decided not to. We have to say the entries were most impressive, ranging from incredible technical prowess to displays of absolute comic genius. To claim your prize suzq044, send an email to me and we'll get those sweet, sweet Scion hats in the mail tout de suite. Thanks to all who entered and hopefully Toyota got the clue that we were none too thrilled with their latest box on wheels.
