Re: June 2016 COTM **WINNER**
The quality, look, low miles and the fact that you are giving it up for your family got my vote.
Now, can we talk you into keeping it?

Re: June 2016 COTM **WINNER**
Yeah I think I will be off the forums for a bit and take a break as its kind of heart breaking. I may not get a 3rd gen in the future but if I do it will be a driver with some miles.

Maybe the criteria soon for COTM can be the two-tone cars.

Re: June 2016 COTM **WINNER**
Congratulations! That black GTA is absolutely stunning. It was a kind of tight run but it made it to the top. I hope the new owner will take good care of it just like you did.

Congrats on COTM. Glad I got to see her last year at the Nats! Bittersweet story that you will remember the win around the same time you sold the car. Good luck to you on your move and hope you get another F body in the future!

I also want to say congratulation on the win.
The new owner is getting a COTM first pic. Nice.
Hopefully it stays that way.

Re: June 2016 COTM **WINNER**
Again, congrats on the win. Love all the pictures of the Bird, but I'am not a fan of the one that was used for the COTM. The one in your Avatar shows everything from a nice angle, but a lot is lost in that backside overhead view with a cracked asphalt parking lot and car in the background, plus your hood is open. Just my
