Re: 2018 Thirdgen.org Car of the Year I think we should have Horacio and 88Irocvert fight to determine which of their verts is best! 3 rounds. Old school tai boxing like Kurt Sloane and Tong Po! https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...d9cb48ff00.gif |

But I will give you one if you drive the slowest V8 Camaro ever made. Sounds like a cool category to me! :thumbsup: Now it's not entirely clear to me which model that is so I need help determining if you quality for such an prestigious honor. |

Re: 2018 Thirdgen.org Car of the Year So what I want to know is who gets the highest miles award? |

Re: 2018 Thirdgen.org Car of the Year This is awesome! It's an impressive line up of amazing 3rd gens. I've got 225k on the odometer! That's in kilometres tho. Puts it at about 145000 miles. But that's not a lot for over 30 yrs old. |
Re: 2018 Thirdgen.org Car of the Year Dude, that was TOUGH to do! Each of these cars is just fantastic in it's own way. Any forum member could be proud to have any one of these 3rd gens. as their favorite forums COTY. I re-read each COTM winners thread, managed to narrow it to 6 choices, then grudgingly to 3, and finally with much hair splitting to one. But again I say, if your car is on this list, you have one very special ride, and it would be a great COTY standard bearer for this forum. |
Re: 2018 Thirdgen.org Car of the Year Stupendous line up! It may be cliche, but truly speaking, Every car could represent our community, and this year of voting. I normally vote based on 3 different pieces of criteria. What car would I want. What is the condition of that car. And what it story/history of said car or member. Sometimes it's the member who brings more story than car. It's my vote, that's what I look at. I am NOT going to go into the 3 or 4 runner ups in my head, but in the end I went with Dagwood. First, as an 89 Iroc owner, I would like to find a non Iroc, z28 as my next thridgen, of any year. I'll tip my cap to the 82-84 era as well. Aside from being a simply stunning low mile car, some of you may know my hierarchy of interior colors. I tend to shy away from grey, and like 'em more as they get more rare. Gotta love that.....WHATEVER color that is in that Z! ...and then of course the 20 year search for that specific combo, in memory of his bro. Well done sir! |

In the 82 brochure, my interior color is simply called Maroon.....and 82 is the only year it was available. Darin |

Re: 2018 Thirdgen.org Car of the Year Alright, people, I'm doing the Participation Awards a little different this year. Periodically I'm going to add a topic and anybody can win that qualifies. So keep checking in while the voting is still alive and see if you earned another award! :thumbsup: Today's Award Category: Cars that have been in a print or online magazine. |
Re: 2018 Thirdgen.org Car of the Year This is awesome. All great cars. I learned a few things here. Good luck to all! This was my first car. Bought when I was 15 back in 1997. |
Re: 2018 Thirdgen.org Car of the Year I have not had my car in a magazine as a feature yet but did do a photoshoot back in September with Kevin Diossi for Fastest Street Car magazine while at the NMCA race in Indianapolis. Sounds like it will be something they use around March or April 2019. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...7c1dea3ac.jpeg |
Re: 2018 Thirdgen.org Car of the Year That's a nice shot! |

Re: 2018 Thirdgen.org Car of the Year I remember when I bought my car from the previous owner in the late 90s.....first thing I had to do was change the locks.....the driver side one was smashed in from someone trying to steal the car. |
