**NEW** April 2014 COTM *Nominations*
I miss COTM. I think COTM is a good idea, and we shouldn't not have it. I think it helps make TGO a respectable operation.
I spend enough time posting and reading on here, and I think I might be able to pull this off. I have PM'ed with BADNBLK and he gave me (or anyone else) his blessing to carry on the COTM program. I will at first be referring heavily to BADNBLK's work as a template. for example:
***************APRIL 2014 NOMINATIONS***************
This thread is a Nomination thread to narrow down the top 10 (or less) Third Gens on TGO that meet this month's criteria. This is not a picture thread. POST ONE GOOD PHOTO of THE ONE CAR that you wish to nominate. Others can second or third, and so on, your nomination. You cannot nominate your own car. A car must at least receive a "second" nomination to be included in the voting process.
The 10 or less most popularly nominated cars will be compiled into a *voting thread* in a couple weeks.
I think most of us already know how this works.
*****This Month's Criteria*****
Since its my first time and the first time in a while, lets keep it simple: OPEN SEASON. Any TGO Third Gen can be nominated this month.

Re: April COTM *Nominations*
this month is open season, but i have a couple of ideas for narrower criteria in the future. in this thread feel free to share your ideas for future COTM criteria. logically there will and should be overlap with things that have been done in the past.

Re: April COTM *Nominations*
k. i'll start. this guy has gotten my vote once or twice, but i dont know if he's ever won COTM. so i'm gonna nominate him again...
Orr89RocZ
love the twin turbos peaking out thru the hood. as i've said before, this car to me is a perfect example of the "no limit" performance and engineering while keeping it looking like a Third Gen that belongs on the streets, that i think will give Third Gens the respect they deserve.

Orr is one of the most helpful guys on here as well. Makes a big difference when the guy giving advice has a 4 digit power numbers car. I second him.

Re: **NEW** April 2014 COTM *Nominations*
it would be cool to have a locked thread showing all the winners as the year goes by.
like, "COTM winners of 2014".
just an idea.
thank you for bringing this back. i really enjoyed looking at COTM winners and nominees. its usually some of the finest 3rd gens on here.

Re: **NEW** April 2014 COTM *Nominations*
I like mantaguy's and drjewalton's cars. But since gorgeously preserved and maintained stock cars don't stand a chance here, I second fasteddi's turbo V6.

Justin's (Orr89) IROC has never won and he deserves it. I think the car gives thirdgens the rep they deserve. Looks, power and function.
