<p>Yesterday&#8217;s topic was  to create a lens about a favorite car and  lenses were built about everything from a <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/rambler-car">Nash Rambler</a> to a <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/me_and_my_1994_jeep_grand_cherokee">1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee</a> with a nice <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/3000gt">Mitsubishi 3000gt,</a> a <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/Citroen-2CV-Charleston">Citroen 2CV Charleston,</a> and a <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/dream-car-corvette">Corvette</a> thrown in to boot!</p>
<p>One of the most imaginative ideas to come from our car challenge was a lens created about <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/Women-Mechanics">women mechanics</a> that contains the story of one female lensmaster&#8217;s experience working on her husband&#8217;s car.</p>
<p>Visit the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/getcracking?ref=ts">Get Cracking with Bonnie and Robin Facebook Group</a> to see all of the wonderful lenses being created there or become a fan and join us and the over 200 members already participating in the Get Cracking with Bonnie and Robin daily lens building challenge.</p>
<p>Challenge yourself for a day, a week,  a month, or any amount of time in between.  It&#8217;s up to you!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve created a lens to hold all of our past Get Cracking daily lens challenges that includes examples of some of the lenses that were built for each challenge.  Use it the next time you need an idea for building a new lens or leave us a comment there with your own favorite lens writing prompt.  We might just use your idea in the future!</p>
