March 2015 COTM **Nominations**
Short month so lets get this started. If you havn't read the guidelines before, read 'em (grayed out below). If you have read them, then at least check out the latest one (highligted in red below).
PLEASE READ THE RULE LIST. THE LIST STARTED SMALL BUT PEOPLE ALWAYS SEEM TO WANT TO PUSH THE ENVELOPE. IF ITS ON THE LIST, ITS BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE TRIED IT. REMEMBER, WE MUST PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE CONTEST SO THAT THE MOST DESERVING MEMBER WINS.
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.
Do not use multiple member accounts to nominate your own car, nominate multiple cars, vote for your own car, or vote multiple times.
This is not a picture thread. Post only ONE good photo of the car you wish to nominate. Do not use photo-edited pictures.
You must post a picture with your nomination.
Correctly identify the user name of the member who you nominate.
Correctly identify the year and model/trim of the car you 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*****
*Special Edition*
Any special edition Camaro or Firebird: Firehawk, TTA, Any Anniversary Edition, 1LE, B4C, Recaro, any that I missed that are legit.

Re: March 2015 COTM **Nominations**
damn...
maybe a TTA or two then. i know that generally, if you've seen one you've seen them all, but I really like what Louis Hernandez (formerly known as Motobooks) did to his.
I do hope to see at least a couple of nice Firebirds in this (as in more than just one) in order to balance the voting if ya know what i mean.

Where are the 82 Pace cars?
If anniversary cars are legit, I'm curious, what was special about the 20th anniversary (87) camaros? Anything more than a dash badge? What was the anniversary editions for the firebirds and trans ams? Wasn't the trans am anniversary two years later than the Firebird and Camaro?
