  Without going into the deails, I'll just say, "yep". :-) I do have
several measures in place to prevent that.

: happens if a person has several pics of their truck, how do the votes add
: up?

  Only the folks at Price Waterhouse assigned to this project know all
the details. ;-) Actually, its based on a weighted average; this is a
system which has evolved over time. Essentially, by placing a vote
for a photo of a particular truck, you are placing a vote for that
truck. There is also a mini-vote going on within each truck's set of pics
to choose the most popular photo of each truck. However, the votes are
weighted such that one person who has 10 pics of their truck up for
voting doesn't have a huge advantage over someone who only has 1
picture in the running.
