Rocket? No wonder I couldn't find it. I was looking for Jellybeans, Soapbars and Rollingturds.

Rocket?

Well then.

I do have to admit, in the Orlando Sentinal photo, it does actually look pretty cool

[Otto Puzzell]

Correct!

[Ray B.]

Well, time to try some puzzles of my own.
I have no idea how tough these will be for you dedicated autopuzzlers, so I'll add them in the Rookie section first. 

Know what it is?

I...ahem...should have checked before!  This car has been the subject of a former Solved Puzzle, and a tough one. I leave it there for a few days, just for the fun. Then I'll remove it.

[Ray B.]

Changed my mind. I'll give it to the pros for a little try.

Another point to grobmotrix?

Ugh! Beaten to it!  Probably the only Auto Puzzle I've actually seen in person (when it was on display in Stone Mountain, GA in 1995).

Uneasy situation. I never should have posted this puzzle in the first place, and I don't know what the rule says here. But since I did I believe you earned one. What do the administrators say of that quite dramatic problem?

[Otto Puzzell]

Having committed the same error of posting a car already posted and / or solved, I humbly suggest one point be given to the person solving the repost, and one point deducted from the re-poster? That way there is a balance to the point-o-sphere.

... and balance is a precious thing.
I f I get you right, SeaLion would have one point, and I should myself have one deducted. Right ?

[Otto Puzzell]

I need to shed a few myself. 

Anyone else have an opinion?

[SeaLion]

I only remembered that I proposed that it was a Playboy last time, so I searched for Playboy and found the answer from grobmotorix in the solved section. But many times we find the puzzle-answers by seaching at the internet, so maybe this is a point too, to remember something about the last thread. Whatever the final points will be, I can live with that.

[Paul Jaray]

At the beginning I posted many puzzles already showed here but I gave the point and nobody deducted mine...(as far as I know....),I'll give the point to SeaLion...my opinion...

[grobmotorix]

As I´ve solved it the first time - give him the point...

[SeaLion]

Thanks!

[Ray B.]

The point goes to SeaLion: it's true that there's not much difference between finding the answer by googling or going trough the wole list of the solved puzzles. He sure was helped by the fact that he had posted in the first Hewson puzzle, but the mistake is mine, not his.
As for myself, I should have a point substracted, as suggested by Karnutz, and that would help me remind to check my proposed puzzles BEFORE and not AFTER posting.
Trouble is I can't do it myself. Shoot.
