Does anyone else miss COTM?

[2mAn]

Im hoping to have a legit COTM starting in 2016. It doesnt necessarily need to be a "built not bought" car, but I wont be picking a car that has coilovers and reps and nothing else. Im more concerned with someone creating something unique

[JasonC]

So with the cotm or whatever time line it's going to run on, only the "Built not bought" cars will be featured?

[2mAn]

I have a plan. Have faith!

When I had my WRX and posted on nasty-cock... I mean NASIOC, they had a rotating theme for each COTM. For example, June may have been "COTM wagon edition", July then was "COTM 2.5RS edition", August was "COTM STI edition" etc. Maybe having a rotating theme here on r3v each month/quarter will help keep the submissions to a more manageable amount.

dont worry guys :up:

Yeah, don't let it die 2man.

I think the car should be a legit feature, not about the stanced out BS culture where expensive wheels and airbags are considered a "build", but a true build that the owner made his/ her own

This. Holy shit. Glad someone else sees this as annoying.

As a newer member with no experience with this COTM program I feel it would be one of those touches that adds character to the webpage. Something extra that makes the site better than those subaru forums. I would volunteer my car but I feel there are better (more documented, more original) stories out there. Either way I'm looking forward to it.

make a build thread and maybe you will be selected. you never know

How about COQ master? Or COQ handler? Maybe The COQ sucker?

all great suggestions. except the COQ sucker, its not appropriate. COQ handler and COQ handler...absolutely;D

[Ether-D]

Car of the _____ on this site should always, without exception, be an E30.

and also this.

[Ether-D]

can we also change my title from R3V Elite to COQ manager or something R3V appropriate once Ive been given the honor to control the COQ

How about COQ master? Or COQ handler? Maybe The COQ sucker?

I have seen plenty of build here that for the most part still have a ways to go but the owners have put a lot of quality time into making their E30 their own. COTM should be as much as the owner as well as the car.

I can understand that some people don't have a fully documented car that has been built. Ive written 2 long build threads, both of which I have sold on...sadly. My current one that I have had for 6+ years with plenty of time in it with no build thread...other than a wheel build. I personally have lost steam on posting, not to mention my other cars have taken some of my interested away from E30s.

I do stop by less often but would like to see COTM revamped. :up:

[2mAn]

Ive got a gameplan together, so this should be making a BIG comeback

[KI4UJO]

Im with you FEAR, I know Ive bugged you about it in the past, so Im not shocked it fizzled out. I think the car should be a legit feature, not about the stanced out BS culture where expensive wheels and airbags are considered a "build", but a true build that the owner made his/ her own.

FINALLY! Im glad someone actually said this. I would much rather see a build that is a personal reflection of the owner rather than a bunch of expensive bolt-ons.

Maybe the mods should make a dedicated COTM account so that whoever is running it doesn't get their pm box bogged down with messages from prospective people, disgruntled forum members and everyone in between.
