With the pictures, include a brief description of how the car ended up in disarray, your name, age, city and phone number.
Wait for MTV to contact you. Repeated phone calls and e-mails will not encourage them to consider your application more quickly. In fact, it may discourage them from featuring you on the show. Be patient.
