I expect to loose with my hunk of junk
Is this for only the defunct Pontiac owners or for every car??....even Buicks
in order to be entered it has to be a wbody/3800 powered.
and realistically...if you're going for ROTM you need a FULL list of mods (exterior, interior, motor, trans, suspension) and a few different pictures to show things off.
this isn't a one picture contest with no info like the calendar would be.
It will be a popularity contest, based solely on the number of gpfers consider you their friend, until all the popular kids win, then randoms with nicer cars will have a chance.
see, brian's already butthurt...
It's because I don't have friends.
awww, i still love ya buddy....
Meh, I fly solo so I would vote for whoever I felt was deserving of it. I dont really have favorites or friend so Brian don't feel bad. lol
gpona started this a few years ago
a few rules i help fan out
only a wbody
a car can only win once per calendar year
only 4 pics
and than the winners of the cotm gets voted on at the end of the year for coty
i say no thing other than pontiac, this goes for you scoobie lovers
And what ever car wins rotm will go in the calendar as the month it won. and coty gets cover page and what ever month it won?
I've been on/am on a few forums that do a COTM/ROTM. There are times where it seems it is more of a "popularity contest" but for the most part, the nicest car usually wins. On the 3/S forum I am most active on now we actually have categories for each month. Example 500+ hp only (had to be proven with a dyno sheet), Stealth only, 3000GT only, any 3/S/GTO (GTO is what the 3000GT is called in Japan and some other markets), N/A only, TT only, etc.
The categories work out well because it evens out the competition (for the most part) from month to month. If you wanted to do something like that you could break it into categories like all w body, 5th gen, 6th gen, 7th gen, NA, SCed, etc.
Only for you nick. But that's between us ;)
whys crap gotta get complicated just vote on a car and stfu
That's what I'm not really understanding here, why do some folks think this will just lead to a bunch of butthurt drama? We all appreciate a well thought out car, and anytime a new member joins up with a good looking/well built car, that person usually gets a lot of attention in his or her thread. The rules being discussed would help to keep the "popular" members that Brian is talking about from winning every month. This is also why I wanted to see how much forum participation we would get, the more participation we get, the more of a variance of nominations and votes we'll get. It shouldn't take an overabundance of maturity from forum members to do this without getting bent out of shape. So far these are the rules in discussion...
No one car can win twice within a 6 month window.
Members can either nominate their own car OR someone else's.
Limited to wbody cars only.
Min of 3 pictures included with nomination, build information if available.
First three weeks of the month are for nominations, the last week is for voting. There will be separate sticky thread dedicated to the monthly winners.
These are not set in stone, and other ideas are currently being discussed. If any of you guys have some ideas that haven't already been discussed feel free to share them.
In truth, the choice is up to you guys. ROTM is a pointless forum activity without active members who want it.
Yeah it's not like we're giving prizes etc its purely a honor thing.
Someone can just make a thread and anyone can submit entries. Doesn't really matter to anyone unless monkey or bio decides to lock it.
