This thread is for November 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*****
High Rise Hooligans: Any 1991 or 1992 Camaro. This includes Z28, RS, Base Models, Special Editions, any '91 or '92 Camaro.
I nominate LeonardS's 1992 Camaro Z28 Heritage Edition - the final thirdgen built, the final car manufactured at GM Van Nuys, and the end of car manufacturing in SoCal until Fisker leased a plant in 2015.
Of all the pictures at his site, this one is my favorite. You can see the completed car with some Van Nuys workers looking on; who knows if they relocated with GM or went into unemployment. In the background, rows of other completed thirdgens await final prep and shipment. Leonard's car was the bookend to the 82-92 Camaro/Firebird era.

A very cool machine. Would love to see recent pics of it, I think he posted something about it not having many more miles than what it left the factory with!
I know unrelated, but I would LOVE to see/have a collection of assembly/factory photos of f-bodies being built or lot-stored after being built or dealer photos of f-bodies on the lot. It'd be like car-porno.
an image of LeonardS's Camaro. the grainy picture of a picture taken before final assembly doesnt cut it. and unfortunately all the other images i could find were "photobucket" which i can only make materialize in the form of links.
