Would you kiss it for days on end? That is the challenge Austin, Texas, radio station [96.7 KISSFM](http://967kissfm.iheart.com/articles/local-news-austin-482427/kiss-a-kia-contest-live-stream-15745023/) posed to its listeners this week. And more than 48 hours later, seven people were hanging on, as could be seen on a [Facebook Live stream](https://www.facebook.com/FOX7austin/videos/1566204210087718/) show on a local TV station. The car is no beater: It's a [2017 Kia Optima](http://www.kia.com/us/en/vehicle/optima/2017), which has a sticker price starting just over $22,000. The competition started with 20 people, and was down to 11 after 24 hours, [according to Marketwatch](http://www.marketwatch.com/story/on-facebook-live-a-dozen-people-are-kissing-a-car-for-days-in-hopes-of-winning-it-2017-04-18). As of Wednesday morning, the livestream had been viewed by more than 70,000 people. Here's a look at the Fox 7 Austin's Facebook Live stream: The rules state that contestants can do whatever they need to feel comfortable, but they must keep both lips on the car. We know what you're thinking: Yes, there could use the bathroom. Contestants were allowed a 10-minute break each hour. The world should know soon who the big winner is. If two or more people were still kissing the car by 8 a.m. Central on Wednesday, their names would go into a box and a winner would be drawn. In other words, several people will have kissed a car for more than two days only to come away with nothing. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/win-free-car-kissing-contest-texas-radio-station-kia-optima/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Lifestyle", "item": "https://money.com/lifestyle/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Entertainment", "item": "https://money.com/entertainment/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "These People Have Been Kissing a Car on Facebook Live for 48 Hours to Try to Win It" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/win-free-car-kissing-contest-texas-radio-station-kia-optima/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/win-free-car-kissing-contest-texas-radio-station-kia-optima/", "name": "These People Have Been Kissing a Car on Facebook Live for 48 Hours to Try to Win It", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2017-04-19T13:16:28.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/win-free-car-kissing-contest-texas-radio-station-kia-optima/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/win-free-car-kissing-contest-texas-radio-station-kia-optima/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2017-04-19T13:16:28.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "These People Have Been Kissing a Car on Facebook Live for 48 Hours to Try to Win It", "articleSection": "Lifestyle", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2017/04/screen-shot-2017-04-19-at-11-20-41-am.png", "width": 1915, "height": 1023, "caption": "Screen Shot 2017-04-19 at 11.20.41 AM" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Rob Wile", "url": "https://money.com/author/rob-wile/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/rob-wile/#author", "sameAs": [ "https://x.com/rjwile" ] } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2017-04-19T13:16:28.000Z", "description": "Two days later, Austin KISSFM listeners are still kissing a 2017 Kia Optima in the hopes of winning it.
