Re: April 2014 COTM **WINNER**
honorable mention goes out to this months other worthy nominees: Orr89RocZ, 6SIX6, and fasteddi.
i want to again congratulate mantaguy for beating what i would have beleived to be long odds, taking his bone stock Firebird up against three Camaro supercars, and emerging the winner by a margin of a single vote.
