March 2016 COTM **Nomination Thread**

March 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*****
The Mighty IROC-Z
Any 1985-1990 IROC-Z. Stock 230 horsepower, modified 1200 horsepower, and anywhere in between.

Thank you for the nomination IMissMy86TA.

I will nominate Sinister Z's 85 Iroc. I've nominated him before when he wasn't really active here, but I noticed he's posted recently, so I'll try again

Nevermind - I was going to nominate someone who won this past year. Should have done some homework before I posted.

you're going to have to include the MODEL YEAR of your nomination.


and also, just to be certain, you ARE confirming that Sinister Z's car is an 85-90 IROC-Z, and not a 91-92 Z28, which it has the appearance of?

Re: March 2016 COTM **Nomination Thread**

while everything about it may not "appear" IROC-Z, the work that has gone in to this '86 IROC, as well as the end result, absolutely deserve a nomination to stand among the other elite IROCs this month.

i nominate havacamaro.

Re: March 2016 COTM **Nomination Thread**

there are still a few more days left to get all this month's nominations in. and just in the COTM Bait Thread alone (sticky, this forum) there are at least a couple IROCs that deserve a nomination.
