October 2016 COTM **Nomination Thread**

This thread is for October 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 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 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*****

Sleek Assassins: Any stock or modified, 1987 - 1992 Firebird Formula, Formula 350, Formula Firehawk, or other Formula based variant.

Re: October 2016 COTM **Nomination Thread**

good luck everyone! Good competition I think
It will be hard for me to vote between Kymee and Linson. I have had the pleasure to meet Kymee and follow her posts and Linson is a great guy on here as well and their cars are both very nice birds and both very deserving!
hard hard month it will be personally.

Re: October 2016 COTM **Nomination Thread**

Mudskunk's 1989 Formula

I agree with the above. The '82 TAs were great. The formulas maintained the form. Bonus black masks the too practical bumpers!! TAs and formulas are great in black going back to the '74s.

Good luck Mudskunk.

Wow, did not know that as I dont read all the sections on here. But did see the thread on it now. Sorry Ed, that really sucks. It was a beautiful Formula! When ready, hope you find another car that fills the void.

Yes, I thought about this when the category was announced this month. I thought about nominating your car (posthumously), but I wasn't sure that would be allowed.
