July 2015 COTM **Nomination Thread**

PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE COTM NOMINATION RULES BEFORE PROCEEDING TO NOMINATE A MEMBER’S RIDE FOR COTM.
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.
  • Do not nominate more than one car.
  • Do not use multiple member accounts to nominate your own car or to nominate multiple cars.
  • This is not a picture thread. Post only one (1) good photo of the car you wish to nominate. Do not use a photo-edited picture.
  • You must post a picture with your nomination. This must be a full-sized picture (or at the very least, a pic or thumb that enlarges into a full-sized picture when you click on it).
  • 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*****
FREEDOM OF CHOICE






That means its Open Season again: Any stock or modified, high-quality, finished-condition Camaro or Firebird.

It is sharp, but why is the IROC-Z emblem on the doors positioned to the rear instead of the front like the originals? Must be a legit reason. I see it alot.

I 2nd that nomination. Lots of labor hours went into that one! And a very well documented build thread. We all learn alot from those. Twin turbos are a comin' baby!
I'll wait till the voting thread, if he makes it, to ask for other pics since only 1 pic is allowed in the nomination thread. One with more streetable tires. A similar issue came up in May's COTM Voting thread (Power Adder's) with Orr89RocZ's Car. I voted for him based on the streetable pic he provided, also the videos!
