**JULY 2014**COTM *Nominations*


*************************JULY 2014 COTM Nominations***********************************
This thread is a Nomination Thread to nominate cars that will compete for this month's Car of the Month honor. The 10 or less most popularly nominated cars will be compiled into a *Voting Thread* in a couple of weeks. If you do not nominate a member's car for COTM, you can still second or third (fourth, fifth, so on) someone else's nomination. cars must have at least one second nomination in order to make the Voting Thread.

Do not nominate your own car. Your car must be nominated by another TGO Member.

Do not ask your wife, husband, friends, extended family, etc. to register as TGO Members for the purpose of nominating your car. If you are nominated, do not ask people to register as TGO Members for the purpose of voting for your car.

Do not nominate more than one car.

This is not a picture thread. Post only ONE good photo of the car you wish to nominate.

Do not nominate cars that are not in a high quality, finished state.

And if you are nominated, please DO go out and take an abundance of good quality photos of your ride (multiple angles, interior, engine) and make them publicly accessible (for example via a photo album in your public profile or some sort of hyperlink to your photo album.)

*****This Month's Criteria*****

Let Freedom Ring! It's Open Season, meaning any stock or modified Third Gen Camaro or Firebird can be nominated.

Lets see if we can get more than four Nominations this month

Re: **JULY 2014**COTM *Nominations*

^ not sure about fueled soul. not too late if he can get two votes by tomorrow.

wanted to have the voting thread up by today, but am stuck at work (typing this from work) so, it will go up tomorrow. 7 days for voting should still be okay, I think.

Voting thread is tomorrow.
