    Re: Whats the deal?

    i think this has been discussed before, but we really should try to change that. her car is badass though, so i would support leaving it up there as long as it shows the recent stuff that shes done!

    otherwise, lets start a thread with nominations! someone with a lot of time on their hands should come up with a template for people to post information on their car (basic information: year, mileage, modifications, timeslip, etc.) then i say whoever gets voted car of the month gets to type up a brief little story with the history of the car, goals, and whatnot.

    i would do it, but i'm delirious from lack of sleep, and finals are keeping me BUSY.
    im going to make sure to find time to nominate myself once this whole thing is started though ;)

      yeah, why let an admin decide? lets let the mob decide.... maybe a poll is in order? get a top 10 kinda thing then have a vote open for say a week. I wouldn't know where to start but others certainly would.

        yeah, assuming there is someone with time to change the front page, it would be easy to get done. maybe i'll start the thread when i get back from my exam, if no one else wants to do it.

                            if you want your car featured (tkforpres) READ this:

                            General Instructions
                            If you would like to submit your car to be our Featured F-Body please follow these simple guidelines. E-mail a picture of your car, in .jpg format only, to the address below. Please make sure your image is at least 600 pixels wide. We're sorry, but we cannot accept low-resolution images. Along with your picture please include the information that would be posted if your car were selected. This means we need you to separately list your car's year, engine, transmission, rear gears, color, ET, mph, and 60' (if any of this info is known). In your paragraph description, please follow the format of the current Featured F-Body. Write in paragraph form, in complete sentences, and let us know what sets your F-Body apart from the masses and what makes it unique.

                            Send submissions to: tealv6 (at) camarov6.com (until new address is created)

                            Clean car

                            New/original modifications

                            Negative Points
                            Dirty car
                            Ugly photography
                            Low image resolution
                            Poor/incomplete car description

                            You in the picture

                            Tips and Tricks
                            Keep in mind that if we choose your car to be our Featured F-Body, we are selecting you to represent our entire site--over two thousand people. Your car will be on our front page, viewed over 120,000 times per day, for an entire month. You represent the best we have to offer, our flagship. With this in mind, and with the sheer number of submissions we receive, we are forced to be very picky. Some other sites randomly select their cover car, we do not. Does this discriminate against the owners of ugly cars? No. We don't believe there is such a thing as an "ugly" F-Body. There is, however, such a thing as a beautiful F-Body that is dirty and has a picture that does not do the car justice. We feel that every F-Body owner has the same opportunity to clean and polish the car, apply tire foam, apply Armor All, and drive to some scenic place for the photo shoot--even if it's just a grassy field or a deserted road. The car is a thing of beauty, it deserves to be photographed in a place of beauty.

                            Notice how the photographic quality ranks higher than modifications or times in the bullet points above. This is because the nature of Featured F-Body favors show cars over fast cars. Even if your car has 600 hp and runs 9's in the quarter, if the picture is bad we won't post it on our main page. The purpose of Featured F-Body is for site visitors to say "ooh" and "aah" when they see a pretty sports car--not for them to technically analyze the data of what you've done with it. So please take pride in your photography and send us the best you can. Maybe you'll find yourself up there next month. Good luck!
