October 2014 COTM *NOMINATION THREAD*

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 a 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 use photo-shopped pictures.

you must post a picture with your nomination.

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*****

Open Season

Any high quality, finished, stock or modified Camaro or Firebird.

That's ANY high quality Camaro or Firebird.

Stock, modified, Iron Duke, Firehawk... doesn't matter.

Re: October 2014 COTM *NOMINATION THREAD*

Since this is an open month, 86 Sport Coupe and his 305 sport coupe. He's a young guy building a 305. Pretty clean build so far, lots of potential.

Re: October 2014 COTM *NOMINATION THREAD*

Since I am up this month, I think it is only fair that the main inspiration to my build gets nominated as well! I would like to nominate 68strat with his killer 83 Sport Coupe

Seconded. Everything Zach does to this car has a purpose and he has a wealth of knowledge surrounding third gens in general.

Re: October 2014 COTM *NOMINATION THREAD*

Just curious, does everyone just go through the albums/garages to find cars to nominate? Just wondering how cars are being noticed.

Nope, when I nominate a car, it's from either seeing it in a tread on here (usually a build thread), MM on Facebook, or someone who I've personally met.

Same here! haha I've never been nominated but that is probably because my old IROC has been sitting in the garage for at least 3 months & has not moved. On the positive side I'm keeping the miles off old girl.
