April 2021 COTM "Open Season" **Nomination Thread**

This is a Nomination Thread for cars that will compete for this month's Car of the Month honor. The most popularly nominated cars will be compiled into a Voting Thread within a couple weeks.

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
  • Nominations must be of high quality, finished state, and in working order. No unrealistic, overly processed images. Please accompany the nomination with,
    • a single large, high quality photo
    • name of TGO member (with proper caps and spaces)
    • year, make, and model of car
  • 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.
  • Likewise, do not ask another family member or friend to join TGO for the purpose of nominating your car. Do not use multiple member accounts to nominate your own car.
  • Do not nominate more than one car.
  • If you are nominated, please DO go out and take an abundance of good quality photos of your car (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 category ***

OPEN SEASON -- Any very high quality, finished, stock or modified 82-92 Camaro or Firebird

I came close to buying a car almost like this, except with t-tops, before I found the T/A. Seconded.

I'd like to nominate a very awesome, and very unusual third gen. KR81 and his awesome 1988 Trans Am. He is from Australia, and the car has been converted to right hand drive.....and it looks like a factory job! He has also made some tasteful appearance mods, and hats off to him for doing so in a place where third gen parts are impossible to find locally.

Re: April 2021 COTM "Open Season" **Nomination Thread**

Time to give this thread a jump start, so I'll nominate a car that I nominated almost exactly one year ago. It came close, but didn't win, so I believe it's still an eligible candidate: maxpain and his beautiful, custom Firebird. I just LOVE this car! There's a build thread from a few years ago about this car, and here's one of the many great pictures in it. I'm not sure it's appropriate to post a link to that thread in this thread, but people should know how to search for it. It's worth a visit! If the nomination is seconded, then that thread will probably be linked to the voting thread, where it will be appropriate.

Re: April 2021 COTM "Open Season" **Nomination Thread**

Tonight's the night. The last night for nominations, then voting begins tomorrow, I believe? Three nominees this month, so far. But it seems like every month there's a last minute run on nominations, same with voting, so it's that time. Time to magically gather a few more nominees before time runs out. So, bump, there it is!
