Welcome to 3SGTO's Car of the Month!
:Clap:

Each month will be themed with an all in, non 3/S or specific 3/S category. The categories are already picked out and planned through December 2011.

How to enter?
Create a garage page with your car, info, and pictures and then private message me that you want to enter and what your link to your garage is! You can find the garage link at the top of the forum next to "forum." For example: http://www.3sgto.org/garage_vehicle.php?do=view_vehicle&id=1

Once all entries are in, a voting thread will be created so that everyone can vote on their favorite for that month!

What does the winner get?
The winner will be added to the 3SGTO home page as well as a forum banner :) There are also some other things to be added for the winner in the future.

What are the categories for each month?

When is December's deadline?
December 1st!
All entry deadlines will be the 1st of the month you are entering for and the voting thread will extend through the 7th of the month that is being voted on.

Tempting but it would probably get me disqualified because pics and free candy would be a bribe. :Innocent:

does it have to CURRENTLY be FWD, or just have started out that way?

i'm not sure i'm keen on the "random" selection of what qualifies which month. hell, if we're going to have a "spyder" month, why not an "ATX" month? seriously...when was the last time ANY atx won ROTM? has there even been one? i mean, i'll vote for granny JUST BECAUSE OF THAT.

it would almost seem less arbitrary to pick a month for vehicle year--rather than on body style. and having 2, non-3/s months in one calendar year is horses**t, imho.

I'd agree with only needing one non-3S month. I'd like to see an all original month with the only allowance being a K&N drop in air filter. It is rare to see one of our cars without any mods done to them. Especially now given their age and the fact younger, mod crazy, owners are showing up more in the ownership ranks. JMO.

Oops, my bad, I glossed over "all stock" for August. I had 100% original on my mind.

august.

technically, it should have qualifications on it as well...like OEM stock correct for when it was 1st sold. my car, while technically being 99.5% 3/s stock, is far, far from "stock" in the sense of when it was 1st sold. the rear is technically stock, but it's incorrect for the car. same for the front. same for the engine. same for the drivetrain. :)

All rules apply to how the car CURRENTLY is.

Categories for each month has actually gone over quite well so far.

1st gen & 2nd gen are based on vehicle year.


and having 2, non-3/s months in one calendar year is horses**t, imho.
It was requested by several members to have something for the non 3/S members.

I would not consider my car stock if the only things I changed were my front end to 99 & my spoiler to 96. It's a modification to the car even though it is with stock parts from another 3/S.

I know that no matter what COTM brings, you will not be satisfied.

nothing personal, cty--and i mean that.

i went for years on 3si watching the same cars win, all HDR pics. many, many worthy entries were never crowned. i would like to see that improved.

i await the coming months to see if this new system works better than before. and i stand by my assertion that we need an ATX month.

That was the goal of creating categories here. We wanted to give certain groups of cars the best chance at a fair race for certain months, as well as give a little something different to COTM. The problem with the other site & this site is that I can't control who enters and who votes, what their tastes are, etc. Getting submissions over there was like pulling teeth and I can't choose the submissions myself, that was up to the owners.


i await the coming months to see if this new system works better than before. and i stand by my assertion that we need an ATX month.
Fair enough. What do you think about replacing one of the non 3/S months with an ATX month? And do you think we'd have enough submissions to create competition?

:bigok:

That's a good question. No, I don't think in that case it needs to. My statement before is referring to cars that post pictures/story of a previous set up or post/pre modifications. I can't have a car/pictures enter that used to have a single turbo set up & Cianci parts, but then was stripped because the turbo blew and is now a stock set up and a Pitroad M hood. Does that make sense? Accidents happen (like the deer).

I usually close threads after the submission deadline has been met, but I would like to keep it open a little while longer for the discussion of these topics :)

Voting thread will be up tonight!!!

i fully support taking one of the non-3/s months & replacing it with an "atx only" month. and if there aren't enough submissions, then we can do away with it in the future.
