August 2015 COTM **Nomination Thread**
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE COTM NOMINATION RULES BEFORE PROCEEDING TO NOMINATE A MEMBER’S RIDE FOR COTM.
REMEMBER, WE MUST PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE CONTEST SO THAT THE MOST DESERVING MEMBER WINS.
This thread is a Nomination Thread to nominate cars that will compete for this month's Car of the Month honor. The 10 (or less) most popularly nominated cars will be compiled into a *Voting Thread* in a couple of weeks. If you do not nominate a member's car for COTM, you can still second or third (fourth, fifth, so on) someone else's nomination. Cars must have at least a second nomination in order to make the Voting Thread.
*****This Month's Criteria*****
Time Machines: If you like bone-stock, unmodified, factory original 3rd Gens, then this is your month. Any stock, unmodified, Camaro or Firebird can be nominated this month. As always, the nominees' cars must be in a high quality, finished state, whether restored or preserved.

- Do not nominate more than one car.

- You must post a picture with your nomination. This must be a full-sized picture (or at the very least, a pic or thumb that enlarges into a full-sized picture when you click on it).
- Correctly identify the user name of the member who you nominate.
- Correctly identify the year and model/trim of the car you nominate.
- Do not nominate cars that are not in a high quality, finished state.
- And if you are nominated, please DO go out and take an abundance of good quality photos of your ride (multiple angles, interior, engine) and make them publicly accessible (for example via a photo album in your public profile or some sort of hyperlink to your photo album.)

Re: August 2015 COTM **Nomination Thread**
just in case anyone needs clarification, we're not requiring original "Delco" batteries or "factory correct overspray." aftermarket wires are okay.
No headers, or aftermarket performance parts. just stock performing and appearing cars.

Somebody needs to make a photo album of all the Bone Stock Camaros and Firebirds. I just got to thinking that there's a lot out there to choose from!

There is a lot out there that have higher mileage factory originals. I have a 28k, 52k, and a 193k. All are factory, not modded and look pristine.
Maybe need to revisit the Thread and get it going again.

Re: August 2015 COTM **Nomination Thread**
I had seen that. But you were looking for: "I'd like to assemble about 10-20, low miles, 95% or better, all original cars that we can use to reference with photos, for current and future restorers. Just factory originals."

I say non-oem air filters, oil filters, spark plugs and stereo head units should be ok also. But no subwoofer cabinets.

Radios have gotten so good with bluetooth, more power and internet radio. I just couldn't resist replacing the old stock one. Plus I'm a music fan.

Sorry about that Linson. His user name is scottmoyer. I thought everyone knew who he was.
http://www.users.uswest.net/~smoyer/
I think his car was the poster child for some past GM event too.

Its a lot harder to leave one alone and keep it stock than it is to modify one.

Is this a sport coupe with a Berlinetta nose? I thought only the Berlinettas had the 3 slits in the nose. I know the Berlinettas got a digital gauge panel.

Probably going to start the Voting Thread around the 20th - 21st. so there's still time for more or to second any who haven't received a second nom yet.
btw, that red Formula is super clean.
and I've always liked KMK454's B4C.
