Congrats & thanks again to ev305tpi for representing Third Gens in February!
February is a short month, so let's get March's COTM Nominees out there early. So far we have had a highly modified Firebird and a bone-stock Camaro take the win. Keep up the good work, and lets keep striving to get new blood into this thing.
This thread is for March 2017 COTM **Nominations**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 12 (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.
Do not nominate your own car. Your car must be nominated by another TGO Member.
Do not ask your wife, husband, friends, extended family, etc. to register as TGO Members for the purpose of nominating your car.
Do not nominate more than one car.
Do not use multiple member accounts to nominate your own car or to nominate multiple cars.
This is not a picture thread. Post only one (1) good photo of the car you wish to nominate. Do not use a photo-edited picture.
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.)
**Editor's Note**
This year I would like to, for the most part, give the members who participate the freedom to choose nominees unencumbered by monthly qualifications of make, trim, and build-type. i have always said that TGO Members do an excellent job of choosing a variety of different types of cars. The one caveat however is this: We need to try to get some new blood into the nomination process. If your buddy (or a member who has a car that you really appreciate) has been nominated two or three times in 2016...and 2015, lets maybe give it a rest for a while. It gets old, even for the guy who has to copy and paste a campaign in the Voting Thread every other month.
The same high standards are still in place. The COTM Bait Thread is still open in the sticky section. Refer to it. Add to it.
*****This Month's Criteria*****
OPEN SEASON Any stock or modified, high quality, 1982-92 Camaro or Firebird.
havacamaro***** March 2016 COTM WINNER***** 1986 IROC-Z
I'll second all three if I'm allowed. .....if I can only second one, I've got go with one of my all time favorite Iroc color combos, and second 88IROCvertZ. ...any of you longtime TGO guys remember Tim/Traxion? Same color combo.

This is how you show your age, AND that you're a thirdgen nerd at the same time. lol
you can always "3rd" a nominee - or better yet, "2nd" a different nominee.
i'm starting to think that 3 or 4 nominees in a given month are plenty (as long as they are really high quality). that way, we might see 3 or 4 different nominees the next month, and so on...

I do remember him. That was back when getting a streetable Camaro into the 11s with efi was an accomplishment. He was THE GUY for EFI at the time.
Those shipping door guards : bringing back memories. I remember hearing stories of people keeping those on their new cars and having it wear the paint off underneath over time.

PS I'm BAAACK ("Here's Johnny!" )
. Welcome Back!!! Been a while!!!! Yeah, I been getting crap about those guards for 29 years! I've had no problem with the paint issue. I just covered the paint touching edges with clear adhesive strips....no problem. Kinda weird, but saved me TONS of door dings and such!
vinny R, i appreciate you taking the time to seek out and nominate an interesting new car that we haven't seen before. unfortunately, TylerM will not be a contestant in this month's COTM because I was not able to get the basic details on his vehicle. the fact that he did not respond to my private message soliciting that information indicates that he would have likely not participated anyhow, either due to not being aware that he was nominated, or lack of interest.
please don't let this one instance stop anyone from continuing to seek out new and interesting Third Gens for COTM.
