Lol, nothing. Not much happened so far. A few parts got in, that's all.

[TripleXmodder(akaXXX)]

Well, if Bondo has a body and can finish painting it, then he can send it to me ... I have enough parts to build a chassis. Once im done I can send it to Donzii to photograph. From there Donzii can keep the car and make it the 1st place prize for a Car of the month. How does that sound.

Or, instead of a COTM, make it COTY.

The car will be given away January 2011.
Every car that wins the COTM Jan-Dec 2010 would be entered into COTY in Jan 2011, and the winner of the year gets it.
That way, there's a year for more work to be done to the car, and letting people know NOW what the prize would be, could get people active and get each COTM until then active, so everyone has a chance.

Sounds good to me.

[deckerz]

nah just make it a cotm give away or end of this year.

january 2011 is a long way away and what if they don't want to be entered into the comp, its up to members if they decide to enter or not.

hope this finaly gets finished...

[dontspamme]

Why not make it a COTM for December ? Like last year where we had a Vette Z06 and some misc. stuff that you can win ? But then again, I wouldn't mind a COTY for January 2010 with all the winning cars from January - December 2009 ?

this is the best option IMO.
maybe staff could also post that $100 prize for the partiot comp that got cancelled as added incentive for the few remaining months to get some ***** in gear so to speak.

run open class(Xmod/scalemodel) comps till the first of the year and hopefully,with that much incentive,they would be some of the best comps this site has seen for awhile.
this month's was a pretty good turnout with some really nice entries but it hasn't been that way very much this year.

i think ultimately,the desiscion on how it's given away should be up to the builders and the staff.
the forum members already did their part on specifying the build.(chassis,paint,body)
so lets let the staff and Trix chime in with their thoughts.

i'm not keen on donzii holding until it's given away though.
she can shoot it but i'd rather see it back in the hands of a builder before shipping since we have alot more wrapped up in the hobby with more to lose if something goes awry.

if you're really into it Trix, i'll hit you up with the chassis length and all that good stuff.

[tayyab]

Sounds like a **** expensive prize

So,
Bondo has the shell
and XXX is making the chassis...

Then I say we have two sincere members who are true to their word and we will be seeing an XMS car soon.

Thoughts Bondo and XXX?

Later, T.I.M

[GearHeadV8]

i say we do that. or we can have a poll who is the most deserving member like we enter someone and then we vote. but alot of rules.

I would like to take initiative if thats okay or i would say XXX or bondo should.

you 2 need to give a list of stuff that is needed and whats left.

[winner]

so what about a raffle? just make a box with peoples names (that say they want to be in it) and go that way? just my 2 cents

[sciontc333]

^^^ yeah but then all they did was say i want to get this bad@$$ car... i like the car of the year comp winner gets it best.

lol i like this guy

[GearHeadV8]

IM CONFUSED!!! is donzii a guy or a girl

Or we can do something where we sell it on ebay with a high start price and we donate the money to a organization or something like that.

as long as we stay on it then we should be able to finish it

He's both. She tends to switch genders when he feels like she needs to.

lmao, thats good

open class cotm with it as a giveaway, worked great for last december,

coty, well that would have to be for the first 12 months of the cotm or for the first 24 months and have to wait until february.

i like the ideas, and i think this car should stay with someone in the forum. as this is supposed to be a forum car, and not just put up on ebay for someone to wreck..

i'll bring this up with the staff, and see what comes of this, Bondo and XXX shoot me a pm or hit me up on msn [email protected] and we can see what you guys would like to see done as well.

edit.
looking back first cotm was feb 2008, but as there was some comps that went 2 months, etc. there isnt 12 winners in a year, so thats another thing to think of.
