March 2018 COTM **Nomination Thread**

This thread is for March 2018 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.

I'd like to nominate Rare BMX's 1989 5.7L ASC GTA Convertible.

Super clean, and only gotten better since he bought it a couple years ago. Here's a pic:

Wow, thanks for the nominations! Putting this car together over the last few years, it never crossed my mind that it would be nice enough to even be considered for COTM .

I think "honored" is the word you're looking for.

Being humbled is like finding out that the only people that like your car have bad taste.

I nominate 91chevyz28. There’s a cleaaan z28 near me that looks just like his car. Thats what inspired me to go for the gorgeous Z28 look.

Why does the thirdgen.org home page still list the Nov 2017 car of the month? Has not been updated in a really long time.

Re: March 2018 COTM **Nomination Thread**

It really makes the site look bad when the car of the month is 4 months out of date. Why even still have the competion if the Admin team cannot even take the time to upload a photo once a month.
