Shawn's pic isn't showing up for me. I don't know if it's just me, but a heads up never hurts.

Re: August COTM **Voting**

I cat see shawns pic on my EVO 4G, and out of the rest BlueZee28s appeals to me the most. Not digging the yellow one from sinister or the Billet grill on black 88, so my top 2 are bluezee28 & plasmeh because his looks like my aunts '86 Bright Red Iroc.

Re: August COTM **Voting**

Lmao i know its a camaro!, a friend of mine had a 82 monte carlo he sold it, and ever since then we call my camaro the MONTE!, inside joke but once again very nice!, personally i like the camaros that stay true to there era or if they use corvette parts like ORR's it looks really sharp, for me its a turn off when people put big chrome wheels it just doesnt seem to ever look right, almost like there was no thought behind it, just took what the local wheel shop had instock and slaped them on

Re: August COTM **Voting**

Car is coming along! I purchased the car in 2003, and my goal was to buy something I can have fun with and learn to work on cars as a hobby. 4K and 100k miles, clean body, no rust, this is what I started with as you can see the one photo. I have since put about 4K in it updating and replacing worn parts, wheels, tires, interior, and suspension. Thanks for sponsors I have got some things really cheap. I wish I could say I drove it more, but usually just to track events, car shows, and auto racing events. Oh and my daughter always request me to drive it to pick her up at school somedays!

This was the car I dreamed when I was 16 of owning. It has been so much fun! I only budget so much a year to improve things. One day I hope to turn it over to my daughter and hopes she will take care, respect it, enjoy it just as much as I have. It has been great for her and I to hit shows together. She gets a kick out of entering the car in her name lol, and talks about driving it someday. So maybe you guys will see her on here someday!

As far as my taste in cars! I prefer to mildly build the car based on your own inspiration. How fun would the car hobby be if everyone had the same taste?! I can apprciate a clean stock car just like the next guy. The inspriation for this car is to build a car I can enjoy at the road courses, street machine, something that looks, sounds amazing, and drive down to the local show or enjoy a road trip across the US without getting 3mph to the gallon. I should be getting to the engine in the next few years.

Well hey all go build your car however you want too! Thats the fun of it right! Thank you guys for the nomination! I haven't been on here much this summer it's been crazy!
