Here's a snippet of the report from Wheels.ca:

Two automotive tech students from Jean Vanier Catholic Secondary School in Scarborough beat out 19 other Toronto-area high school teams to win a unique skills competition that challenged students' technical knowledge at the Canadian International AutoShow.

James Ryan Bachiller and John Gonsalves performed a number of timed technical tasks and attempted to start a new 2010 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible that had been rigged with a no-start condition by automotive instructors from Centennial College.

By finishing first, the pair will represent Canada at the U.S. National Automotive Technology Competition in New York City in April.
