Hopefully they did walk.

I believe the contest rules require you to floor it straight out of the mall (the "Left4Dead 2 clause").

What is the L4D2 clause? Google didn't return anything.

One of the 'campaigns' in Left 4 Dead 2 involves driving a car that is on display in a mall through the doors. At speed.

Any joke that revolves around driving cars inside of a mall needs a mandatory reference to the Blues Brothers mall chase scene.

LOL!

"this place has got everything!"

Thanks for linking to that -- I've always gotten a kick out that scene.

:-D

In the rare case you win (there are legitimate win a car contests that are not trying to get your private information) there is a lot of paperwork to fill out. In the best case you would be sober before the paperwork is done.
