Quarterly sounds good.
Just enough time but not too long.
I've been up for over a year now (and I love my car), but we should have things rotating -- there are a lot of badass cars here. A lot of people deserve to be featured.

Welp. I saw that there is already a poll up for March's Car of the Month. However, I'd like to nominate Brent's Tangerine to be considered for the following Month/Quarter (whichever was decided) Most of the active members on here know him and know his car and somewhat of the story behind it. Manny, Jim, Shannon, Stevenson and myself, all know the turmoil he and I went through to build his little moster. but PLEASE, I don't want this to sound like I'm being biased just beacuse I helped him out with his build. I honestly think his story, and his car would be a great candidate.

So where would one post a picture up for nomination? is there a particular thread for the Featured Ride nominations? or are you just picked at random?

Gosh, is the concept really that hard for you people to grasp? Just STFU and start posting pics. laugh.gif

Manny, once my car is done, you will get tired of seeing pictures of it posted. I just want to make sure I get it done right...and in a pretty way. tongue.gif

Thread revival!

I'm thinking I'd like to see Czwalga's car as the next featured ride. He's put a crazy amount of work into that car and takes it placed none of the rest of us would dare. And it's not like he's just put the work into it once, he's had to repair and rebuild it several times.

i've actually been thinking about how we want to do that.

im thinking that we will change the featured ride once every 3 months.
4 cars a year.
keeps it a privlage to be there, but not so few that noone has a chance.
once a month is too often, and not long enough to feature a car, IMO.

what are your thoughts?



I like that idea and I would love to see you handle this site, you have done an excellent job and with all due respect to all staff, you're the man for the job. Please hound him so that this site can continue to move forward at a better rate. But yeah, I really like that idea, 4 cars per year. Sorry, I had forgot I posted this thread for a second there. LOL

i can sticky it and what not.

also, i think we should appoint someone to create the thread each month so that everyone can submit theyre pics, then have that person create the poll for everyone to vote on.
once the 6gc of the month is chosen, i will edit theyre pics and whatever into the sticky.



This might even help for future calendars, unless we are fine with how it has been.

Can a previously featured ride make the Celica of the Month? Like Lagos or presure2? I get the feeling that we definitely don't have enough cars on this site to keep a monthly thread going. We'll run out of nice cars in no time and have to put cars with different color fenders and busted windows in there.

I kinda think that after two years there might be some cycling of the same cars. But since its from a multimedia standpoint (I think) then there should be some good choices!

to those that think there isnt enough cars, i disagree. its up to all of YOU to post your cars, and to let others know about the COTM thread.
i think you guys are taking this a bit to seriously. swissferdi's wording is a bit off in the first post of the COTM thread, because it makes it sound like this is another version of featured ride.
this isnt "featured ride", its just a way to get people involved, like a better version of the post a pic of your car thread.
IMO it isnt about who has the most mods, or longest build list. for me, i just wanna see clean celicas. modded, stock, it dont matter. clean is clean. IMO its as much about the picture itself as it is about the celica thats in it.
pics of a 100% stock celica with a nice background looks great IMO and is just as worthy as malpaso for instance, or anyone else on the site.

Call it something like Celica Photo of the Month. That way it will avoid confusion and if people want to put in the effort, they could win more than once or whatever.

I think that would take away from the "celica" itself. If I was a winner, I want to be awarded for my ride, not a picture. There is certainly enough cars for this, I think the COTM thread will encourage people to keep their rides clean. Like Manny said, even a 100% stock celica looks good, its just about which car is cleanest and most deserving.

IMO this is really good idea! Since (if I get it right) Featured ride and Celica (photo) of the month are separated things so why mix it together? For me always Featured ride was the biggest honor when "God him self" (smile.gif) choose one Celica/member (because I believe it was not just about Celica it self but about member's enthusiasm on site as well) who became famous for many months on homepage smile.gif. However Celica (photo) of the month is based on votes of members and criteria "how good photo is" does not exclude anyone and is easy and perfet! And (like a bonus) it may support people to make good picture during whole year (not just few weeks before "picture for 6gc calendar submission" deadline wink.gif).

Having a Featured Ride and a Celica of the Month seems redundant. Creating a Photo of the Month is an idea that is better because then people with cars that have less money poured into them can get some "airtime".

i agree, although its just semantics.
"celica of the month" or "celica photo of the month"...whatever you call it, its a way for everyone to get involved and show off theyre celicas, be it 100% stock, or 100% custom.
