July COTM **Nominations**

*Please read before posting*

*****JULY Nominations*****

This thread is designed as a nomination board to narrow down to the top ten thirdgens found on this board. This is not a picture thread to post pictures of your own vehicle, and you cannot nominate your own vehicle. To nominate a member you must provide a user name and POST A GOOD PHOTO of the vehicle (for others to possibly 2nd, 3rd, 4th the nomination).

***NEW***
- THIS MONTH IN HONOR OF OUR JULY 4TH INDEPENDANCE DAY WE WILL PICK ANY RED, WHITE, OR BLUE CAMARO, OR FIREBIRD!!!

Once a vehicle has been nominated, there is no need to post additional pics, but please post with members screen name as a second, third etc nomination.

One nomination per member. So please do not list of your top 20 favorite cars... think about this, it will be an honor, pick one. If multiple nominations are made by a single member, I will only count the first posted member when creating a tally.

*** The 10 or less cars with the most nominations will be complied into a new thread the morning of JUNE 15th, at which time poll format will be used to nominate the JULY car of the month ***

Please see last months nomination thread for ideas....

Red, White, or Blue? When I think of Blue, it's Puma1552's car. Hands down. It is what most who have these cars and want them in pristine condition should aspire to.

x2 nomination for Puma1552...awesome job in detailing. Regardless of it being an RS, I have yet to see anyone make a writeup as to how well they take care of their vehicle inside and out. The car is pristine from all your photos even with so many miles.

Re: July COTM **Nominations**

I'm going to throw a red one into the bunch. I nominate 1meanZ's 86 Iroc-Z. It's one of the most interestingly modified but still semi-stock appearing cars that I've seen. It's got a built 383, TKO600, Dana 44HD Independent Rear Suspension out of a C4 vette, roll cage, true duals, and plenty of other mods. Always a favorite of mine.

Re: July COTM **Nominations**

I'm pretty torn between 1meanZ and NufNuffZ28...

I think Ill vote on NufNuff just because his blue meets the red, white blue critera better than the dark red on 1meanZ does (not to say that it's not red, just not so 4th of July red...)
