Re: June 2015 COTM **Nomination Thread**
I'll second this nomination; specifically after seeing how much work he did to the body / rust issues which is arguably more important than any other upgrade.

Guess it's too late to ask for pics of the underside of the exhaust system?

Re: June 2015 COTM **Nomination Thread**
I like this car. The IROC-Z emblem on the door is in the correct spot, unlike so many other IROC pics I see on here and the pic is inspirational. Must've had someone riding in the other lane taking the pic.
I also like the '91 Players Camaro alot!

Re: June 2015 COTM **Nomination Thread**
So if like your otherwise running car happens to be in the middle of a turbo swap this month, it would still be eligible.
Does that information change anything for you?

Re: June 2015 COTM **Nomination Thread**
nice exterior? Nope
Nice interior? Yes but half of it is outside the car LOL
It does run and drive. It's got some cosmetic work left...that's all

thank you for that.
1. i will allow racerkilla's nomination to stand - and UltRoadWarrior9 clearly meant no harm and corrected his mistake. but read the rules people.
2. in order to get the voting thread up and running i've just had to spend twenty minutes trying to track down racerkilla's car's year and model designation, which is clearly a requirement for a nomination (again, read the rules, people). i will not be doing that **** again. in the future i will simply not advance a car to the voting that does not have
- a picture (a picture - not a link - a picture)
- the correct name of the Nominee
- and the correct year and trim designation of the Nominee's car
Finally, i've noticed that under racerkilla's avatar or name, it lists a bunch of cars that he owns other than Third Gens - which is fine, its his prerogative, i have no problem with it. i would like to suggest though, that since this is a Third Gen site, and he has an intriguing car, that he might make plain somehow - perhaps in a signature or under his name, that his Third Gen is an '85 IROC with '92 body kit. right now it just says "Camaro" along with a three or four other cars. and it never specifies in any of the threads either.

In her defense, you didn't specify. 
the 305s are so overlooked it's nice to see someone still using one instead of a 350.
