January 2016 COTM **Nomination Thread**

January 2016 COTM **Nominations** 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*****

Special Edition: Legit Special Edition Cars (no clones and no trying to put a square peg in a round hole). Firehawk, TTA, B4C, Z03, any anniversary edition, ASC, Recaro , and the like.

One year only color. There was a ZO3 option in Purple with silver stripes, which would be on the list.

Do we have any members with a Firehawk?

Re: January 2016 COTM **Nomination Thread**

Ok, I'll retract my original comment since I didn't read the criteria and change it to a 1987 convertible Camaro since they are considered 20th Anniversary cars right?

Re: January 2016 COTM **Nomination Thread**

looks like its only three nominees this month. thats okay. they cant all be high volume months.

and just in time for Christmas, the winner will be a red car, a green car, or a (snow) white car. perfect.
