May 2020 COTM **Nomination Thread**
This is a Nomination Thread for cars that will compete for this month's Car of the Month honor. The most popularly nominated cars will be compiled into a Voting Thread within a couple weeks.
You can either nominate somebody else's car, or second a nomination (but not both). Cars must have a second nomination in order to make it to the Voting Thread.
Nomination Guidelines
*** This month's category ***
OPEN SEASON -- Any very high quality, finished, stock or modified 82-92 Camaro or Firebird
charlie6178
1992 Z28
You can either nominate somebody else's car, or second a nomination (but not both). Cars must have a second nomination in order to make it to the Voting Thread.
Nomination Guidelines
- Nominations must be of high quality, finished state, and in working order. No unrealistic, overly processed images. Please accompany the nomination with,
- a single large, high quality photo
- name of TGO member (with proper caps and spaces)
- year, make, and model of car
- Do not nominate your own car. Your car must be nominated by another TGO member. Cars must have a second nomination in order to continue to the Voting Thread.
- Likewise, do not ask another family member or friend to join TGO for the purpose of nominating your car. Do not use multiple member accounts to nominate your own car.
- Do not nominate more than one car.
- If you are nominated, please DO go out and take an abundance of good quality photos of your car (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).

Re: May 2020 COTM **Nomination Thread**
This month's feature car is a 1992 Z28 1LE that belongs to charlie6178
And yes.... it is eligible for nomination.
Guessing this might be a pretty big month with so many people kickin' around at home trying to avoid the COVID-19 virus.

Re: May 2020 COTM **Nomination Thread**
I'd like to nominate randyhummel and his 1986 IROC-Z. He is a new member that just joined in February, and this is the only pic that I have seen of his car. I know nothing about it, but it looks absolutely cherry, and I believe I am seeing original Gatorback tires, so that's a sure sign of a survivor!

Re: May 2020 COTM **Nomination Thread**
Since you did the nominating, would you please reach out to Randy and verify the car is up to COTM standards inside & out? Thanks.
Not to mention it always helps when a former COTM winner partners with the new guy to give them pointers how to play the game well. Honestly, I hope everybody is partnering with their nominee and giving tips. I always did.

It's a 45k mile car, and all original. And yep, it has Gatorbacks on it, too

It sure is a good thing they look cool, because they're terrible in every other way. Ok, I guess they're pretty good at being relatively round, sorta black in color, and once made out of rubber.
PS - Do I need to bold my signature to fit in with the cool kids?

Here are a few more of my 1986 Iroc-z. I have owned it since 1993. I am the 3rd owner. This was the first Iroc-z I ever saw. the original owner worked at a veterinary office I drove by everyday going to school. Then sold to my High typing teacher, Then I purchase.

We're trying to keep the nomination threads simple with just the 1 picture used for nomination. You'll have opportunity to post up your own pictures and story in the voting thread.

Thanks 88IROCvertZ and ev305tpi for the nomination and the second. Looks like it's shaping up to be some tough competition. I appreciate you all thinking about my car. Good luck to all the nominees!

Re: May 2020 COTM **Nomination Thread**
here’s a couple more photos, the car is a 92 Z28 1LE. I have installed the SLP T ram intake, SLP headers, SLP totl exhaust, SLP dana 44, SLP ZR1 wheels, and my current project on it is the SLP dual cold air setup. It’s been a lot of work getting to this point but it’s starting to come together now.

Oh, my gosh, I'm an idiot. APRO3 replied to me a while ago!
Sorry, bud, I cleaned out my inbox and saw your PM in my sent box.
