November 2017 COTM **Nomination Thread**

This thread is for November 2017 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 12 (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 unrealistic, overly-processed images.
  • 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*****

OPEN SEASON

Any very high quality, finished, stock or modified 1982-92 Camaro or Firebird.


Polo Z03*****1992 RS Z03*****November 2016 COTM

I'm sure we could find a few more deserving cars this month.. Lots of great cars on this site that haven't ever been nominated.

It’s cool to look through the bait thread and learn about what people have done to their cars!

I nominate amfornal and his 1989 Black IROC.. quite a transformation! That’s why I bought a low mile IROC that was kept in a heated garage! Ha ha! Awesome job!

Re: November 2017 COTM **Nomination Thread**

I'll second the turbo v-6 (pilsbury10). It's good to see an F-body with other than an 8 cylinder that has been customized.

Re: November 2017 COTM **Nomination Thread**

WOW, it’s an honour for me even when someone gives me a compliment on my IROC. To be nominated in this thread with all the outstanding Camaros and Firebirds, well that’s just makes a guy get all ��
I have wanted this Blue IROC since I had a Blue V6 5SPD when i was just finishing High School. I bought the Car in 2015 and made quick work making it look like I dreamed of. Just finishing off some minor details now making it mint and next Summer a set of headers will be going on. It has the 350 TPI Auto in it.
Some changes since that pic was taken are the front park lights, and the rims were refinished.
Thanks again for the nominations and already a smile on my face for even being nominated.

Awesome car Out-cast! My son just finished with Nursing school and will soon be in the market for one just like it. Blue Iroc-Z is his favorite.
