Re: TGO Car of the Month (Nominations)

This is 1bad91z's garage queen, I'll nominate him so maybe he'll realize people like to see it more that once a year and it'll see the road twice a year!
Nice... Hey I've driven it about four or five times this year!!

This will be a Top Ten list on Monday the 19th. So the 10 cars nominated the most will be put onto new poll thread to vote the winner for January Car of the Month.

SO Nominate your favorite car, or if your favorite already has been already, 2nd the nomination, so you can make sure it makes it in the "top ten"

Very clean, tons of torque with the 383 SR, and the IRS is meant for Miata's and the like but he did a good job putting it in There's many thoughtful things in this car that would look stock to the normal bystander that he's tweaked and improved.

Re: TGO Car of the Month (Nominations)

I would love to nominate camaroguy18 car. Unfortunalty since a post mostly from my iPhone, I am unable to post any pics..Also.. Hopfully no one takes this the wrong way, but I think the reason why the thread is not getting as much play as it should is because it's pretty bias... This type of thread if it is to be done properly is better for the board to organize and Carryout. Nothing personal, but because there are so many wonderful cars on the site, that many of us have never seen before, there is no possible way that this can be done correctly without the help of the board!! Perhaps if a slideshow on YouTube with profile pics with everyone that has a pic avalible can be turned in, it would give everyone an oppurtunity to see every car and make the best choices!! Just my opinion though...

I will monitor both threads as possible.

Just my opinion though...
I actually feel for how slow this whole site has been lately, that to have one thread reach over 68 posts in less than a week... it has been very sucessful. I contacted Mods, and we posted in the previous thread about opinions of how to make this work... nobody including you stepped up. The site has no interrest in controlling the thread due to some people that get hurt feelings. SO... here we are. Your welcome to your opinion, and I highly recommend that you take your youtube idea and run with it... start your own thread explaining what your goals are, and do it! This thread is easy... if you follow the rules I stated above I will count your vote, your vote could put the vehicle into the top 10, and then a system controllede poll will determine a winner...

Please go home and find a pic of Camaroguy18 (Love his car btw), and edit into you above post so you too can be counted.

This thread will never lock... I will tally the nominations on Monday morning the 19th, so nominations must be made prior to the 19th. Next month a new Nominations thread will be made.

I 2nd that! Under hood and interior are just as nice as the outside. Alot of time and attention went into that build. That being said, there are ALOT of really nice cars in this thread. Many I've never seen before. It's good to see them all in one place.

Re: TGO Car of the Month (Nominations)

Ive already placed my vote for TylerM and am suprised there arent more votes for this car. I know there are alot of nice cars on this board but how many that are twin turbo and over 800 hp? How many with a totally redone interior and top dollar paint job?
Here's a video and a few pics of his car:
