June 2016 COTM **Nomination Thread**

This thread is for June 2016 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 10 (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 a photo-edited picture.
  • 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*****

KING OF THE ROAD. Any 1982 - 1992 Trans Am.

Four Trans Ams...
Four is not a terrible number, I guess, but for Trans Ams I thought there would have been more.

Thanks for the nomination!! I am honored again it is Bob's 85 and I
Linson, I have to tell you.. the pic you put up at the beginning was a car I almost bought from a member here! I gave up on it after months of trying to contact him. it was a 42K mile 89 t top 5.7 GTA. I stole his lic plate name as mine on the gtasourcepage He was in ND and contacted me after I purchased the beauty I have now I am kinda glad it went the way it did. I did have my crosslaces plastidipped black at some point over a year ago and I did that due to the car you show. I haved several more pics of it from the owner.. dont think I have them any longer. Just a little history

Re: June 2016 COTM **Nomination Thread**

Yes, DynoDave43 can compete if he wants to. 12 months is the rule.

I will have the **Voting Thread** up by tomorrow. i am waiting for confirmation from Doobie52 on whether or not he has addressed the interior of his JY '92 yet. its an awesome car, and i like it a lot, but the only pictures i've seen show torn up seats and dirty, stained carpet. i cannot allow his car to compete this month if the interior is still ragged.

Re: June 2016 COTM **Nomination Thread**

Thanks for the nomination guys but my interior makes me ineligible this time around. I have some ideas for it, but it's going to have to wait until the winter. I'll "ride out" with this picture I took today, and update the build thread later this week. Thanks again!

its an '82 TA. i had to look it up. i would have assumed it was an '83 because of the name.

in the future, please be sure to include the correct model year and trim level of your nomination.
