are there any rules against nominating yourself? i know i'd like a set of awesome brake lines :icon_surp :naughty:

thats the idea ;) everyone who wants to be involved each month sends their own car in as a submission.... we arent looking for people to nominate someone else.... its kinda like a car show....show your car...if you win...you get prizes ;)

ok i wasn't sure which angle you were going for. great idea btw
 
Nice job! Looks like you planned this out pretty well. My suggestion on the voting (just from online contest experience) is to have the sm staff narrow the entries down to about 3-5 cars and then have a poll that is open for a few days where the poll results will be hidden.

But, of course, do whatever you want :)

Hopefully I'll have my engine done someday, and if that ever happens, I'll definatley submit ;)

yeah we are just gonna leave it open to all mk3s... the bottom line is a clean one will win ;) the hard part is on the SM staff so dont worry about it ;)

if you want to enter your car remember...you can enter it ONCE every two months.....

I doubt I would ever win because I'm N/A. :( Or are the judges not biased based off turbo and N/A?

not biased at all matt.....a clean car is a clean car.... the prize was actually gonna be a greddy turbo timer and a shirt...but i asked for the brake lines in case we get a clean NA that we choose this month ;)

OOOOOOOOOH. :D When does voting begin? I know that my car isn't TOO clean, but after my tint gets done I'm gonna really clean her up and get some good high-res pics.

Jayson,
It sounds like Titan is somewhat 'sponsoring' this. Instead of giving a predetermined prize, why not ask them to issue X amount of dollars in credit so the winner can choose what they need?

Just a thought.

BTW, motor on Monday :icon_bigg

we were debating this....we do have about 20 people on the staff...and to be honest....if we let everyone vote i personally think it would be a big mess with 3k members voting on 20-30 cars

i will bring it up with the other mods admins and see what they all think..... nothing is out of the question...this is something i drew up and everyone on the sm staff liked the idea so im just letting it bloom ;) all suggestions welcome. :D


if they go with the member voting thing, u might want to limit it to people with say 100 or more post? maybe less. just so it cant be rigged not sayin anyone would, but...shit happens.
and you could have the polls open for say 3 days? and have them on the same days every month so it wont be at random.
just some crap.

But great Idea this is awesome,
