You can either nominate somebody else's car, or second a nomination (but not both). Cars must have a second nomination in order to make it to the Voting Thread.
Nomination Guidelines

1989 GTA
You can either nominate somebody else's car, or second a nomination (but not both). Cars must have a second nomination in order to make it to the Voting Thread.

- a single large, high quality photo
- name of TGO member (with proper caps and spaces)

- Do not nominate your own car. Your car must be nominated by another TGO member. Cars must have a second nomination in order to continue to the Voting Thread.

- Do not nominate more than one car.

We've got 1 car and I'd like to see 4. Please make nominations this weekend, if possible. Getting close to the 15th when I'd like to start the voting thread.

Re: July 2020 COTM **Nomination Thread**
We have 3 nominations, and I'm not sure yet if all 3 will be able to attend (could be only 2).
I'm going to spin the "Wheel of Random" since we're a little slim on cars this month. Just as a reminder how this works, I let a random number generator choose a former & eligible COTM contestant from the last 2 years. That person has been selected and I've reached out to them with short notice in the last hour. If that doesn't work out then we'll move forward anyway with the great cars we already have.

Re: July 2020 COTM **Nomination Thread**
For the new guys, please pull together some nice pictures of your car (inside, outside, engine bay, and whatever else you want). Double check those photos, please make sure interiors are clean. We definitely enjoy hearing your story, info about the car, etc. It's really up to you how simple or fancy you do this, but I can tell you that some people really enjoy good back stories so don't hesitate to share. Videos are cool too. Most us old fogies don't make videos but I think it would be a refreshing change around here.
This is really your moment to enjoy the spotlight so have fun. I'll start the Voting thread tomorrow, so hold all your photos and stories until then.

LiquidBlue is the wildcard nominee.
All four nominees gave me the green light that they're in.

Re: July 2020 COTM **Nomination Thread**
It really was a random choice but it couldn't have worked out better in my mind. I looked back at his COTM history and he had removed himself from competition due to still being in process of fixing up some minor things in the interior. Didn't really get a fun run at COTM, so this time is really his first run as well. Couldn't have planned it better even if I tried!

Re: July 2020 COTM **Nomination Thread**
I went over the car today and gave it a good detail, taking it to the park tomorrow for some good new pics, should they be posted in this thread or somewhere else?

Re: July 2020 COTM **Nomination Thread**
I'll make a new thread tomorrow. I could definitely use some good pics from you guys for the opening post. Please send me a link to your favorite.
Great idea by the way!
