Re: October 2014 COTM *WINNER*

^^^thanks Joe!!! probably even more cool is that I found another thirdgen owner just around the corner that I never knew a year ago!!!

Linson, thanks for still keeping COTM alive, and taking the time to keep it running. Real cool honor to have, and even if no win, thirdgen enthusiasts can still showcase their cars and share their stories, ideas, and creativity that may not be shown already.

Every nominee had a strong case for their car, not to mention all were beautiful examples quality thirdgens!!! Also, very cool to see family and friends were inspiration and help to everyones build. Think that takes precedence over anything else in the end.

More than honored by the votes and comments

Thanks for voting and glad to be a part of this site!!!

Was gonna comment on that the fist day I seen it and voted. It was 1 of 2 things.....Added the fender vents or added the badges. Still, a very nice and tasteful T/A!
