I would agree but the people here on thirdgen are generally much more informed and can appreciate little details and the things that really make a car a "Top 10 Car." Outsiders would pick the one with the shiniest neon green paint job, the biggest chrome rims, and the most subs in the back.

Thanks for the admiration, but it's not worth giving up any part of your body. The car has been more headaches and ulcers than anything. As far as the engine goes, there isn't one for the moment. The one that was in it at the time of the feature is long gone. That's Where the "look for more coverage" comes into play. I can't say much at the moment, but I am in the process with one of the major magazines, to have that void filled. Of course when it hits the newstand I'll have behind the scene Photo's to share.

and yeah 84customz. That car is so awsome i love it and it deserves to be on each and every top 5 list there is.

But as for myself, I guess this has turned into, "look at the car I have and we will see at the end whose is the top 10" or what we can do is narrow it down to 20 then post a poll then get a top 10. anywayyy heres my car.. still changing every week. and pics in sig.

and you know what? GFX are very cool. my father has an 85 z28 that i have mentioned to him about takin' the GFX off and he nearly bit my head off. but i think done well, and tastefully, either can be pulled off very well.

Alright I think Im going to start an actual real contest for this site. I will need some like at least two other to help judge or a 3rd and I wont judge. Divide it into best exterior, best interior, best engine which will be a good one and best overall? Then have maybe top 5 or top 10 in those 3 categories? I will just find judges, create a very clear thread, post my email address and just list a few things to send, then forward the responsed to the other judges, give us a week or so and we will create a new thread. If you want to be a judge email me at kanzokaine@aol.com otherwise Im going to contact the obvious choices. What do you guys think?

yosarian. Yeah i'm with ya on that one. I say make a thread and let a mod know. Tell everyone to just post 1 picture of their car and a description for instance, "89 rs camaro" and thats all. No going crazy like this " pearl white paint, z28 hood, highrise spoiler etc" ya kno. So if they did a mod may know the rules and edit their post cause they went crazy. And also So we or who ever the judges are can just scroll down each car by each car. If theres 500 cars bring it down to 250. then 125, 50, 25. Or what evers easiest.

Wow, this ran way off track I'd say.

It started as a "list your favorites" thread and then turned into everyone posting pics of their own car and thats it.
