April 2016 COTM **Nomination Thread**

This thread is for April 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*****
BANSHEE
Any 1991 or 1992 Firebird - Stock, Modified, Base, Formula, Trans Am, or any Special Edition.

There is another thread to bait your car for COTM, not this one. This thread is for nominating others cars...

Re: April 2016 COTM **Nomination Thread**

Thank you guys for the nominations! My car is a fly weight nominated against some heavy weight contenders.

To maybe help add to the nominations there are way more worthy 91-92 cars available. How has nobody nominated cars such as iansane's vert? There is another guy with a green vert just as beautiful (don't remember his screen name.) DAVECS1, MIRROR IMAGE(not sure this is in a finished state though.) There are way more. Look at the threads Linson has provided.

That's a pretty rough picture, I tried to make it larger, and I couldn't find any better ones on his profile at all. Nice looking car though!
