Apparently I have been nominated for COTM at thirdgen.org
Now, I have never paid much attention to that stuff but I do know a few things,
1. You need votes to win
2. Base model cars don't win
3. I *might* have already nominated a Hawks shop car just to piss people off
I'll post the link when the voting thread opens up. This is a "free for all" month so historically speaking I have no chance of winning. All I ask is that you help keep me out of the lower ranks. It would be a nightmare to lose to a stock car. LOL!
I would very much prefer being nominated in a month when the category is "base models" so I can compete against my own kind.

From a picking up votes on picture standpoint, I would think the blown big block photo's would go further than LSx photos.... |

Trolling yourself is the ultimate troll. I like it.
Counterpoint: the Silver Streak is ruined by the poor wheel choice. |

Oh ya, the wheels are ugly. It is the general hate people have for Hawks that made it the right choice though. |

Oh, I guess I jumped the gun. Nominations aren't official until somebody seconds the nomination.
Okay, I'm just somebody being talked about for nomination then. |

They're already having a slapfight over it. Quality work.
You also got your second. Must have been some longtime asshole member. |

Ya, I looked at his post history and noticed he came out of retirement just to post for me.
Alright, I need to go find another badass car to nominate next month that is owned by an unlikable person. The other option is find somebody that is a really really sore loser and keep nominating them all year.
Got any ideas? |

Everyone on TGO is an unlikable person so I don't think that will help you.
Edit for LMFAO and also to prove my point:

I'll work up pictures over here.
Straight or tilted? I think tilted.

There was just some jerk over in the History/Originality subforum (pretty much the only one I ever read) bellyaching about how 99% of thirdgen owners are poor and can't afford nice cars so if they want more COTM participation, they need to nominate the average Joe's primer'd up rust bucket. Drama ensues.
I vote for tilted picture and engine progression as well, you'll nail some extra votes both ways. _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56

I'll bet it was a guy named Cosmick. He is a poor guy with junk and an insatiable appetite for praise and recognition. A text book example how both rich guys, and poor guys, have the same ability to get a chip on their shoulder about money and annoy the hell out of everybody else. |

Should have left her in for the votes. I thought you Republicans were into that sort of thing anyway.
I voted Puma because he was the only one who knew how to work a camera out of the four of you. |

That's okay, I'm waiting for somebody to realize the maroon Camaro doesn't even look like that today. The car is in pieces and those wheels and hood are gone. |

Sounds like a solid improvement. Those wheels and hood look like crap. |

Sweet. Now the mindless masses that want to vote for a winner will vote for me just because I'm ahead. |
