Now what I find hard to believe is that out of all the members on the forum there was only 77 votes casted, That is a shame...

Congrats Yello1!

Congrats to the others as well for having your car chosen to be in the running. I know I would be honored to have my car chosen to be in the top 4.

Vetteman Jack 05-12-2013 07:06 AM

Well deserved, congrats!!!

Just like Mr. Bill stated I wish more folks would have voted. Even if the cars selected where not "your thing", there must be one that you like the BEST of the one's selected....no?

Well, I'll probably get slammed for this but I'll just throw this out there for... well... for whatever.

I think there are at least two issues for the lack of participation.

1) As the map thread proves out, there are a LOT of people who are members here but just lurk and don't participate, period. Look at the handles on the list view of the map. How many are regular participating members? Not a whole h*77 of a lot. I'm not even going to attempt to rationalize that one.... ;)

2) It could be perceived that people who don't have/or want to put out the piles of money it takes to totally mod out a car with expensive add ons/changes might as well save their time and effort. "It's only for the rich guys who totally mod out their cars"

I'm not bad mouthing ANYONE or saying this is right, that is wrong, etc... Just throwing it out for more of a discussion starter than anything. I'll take the heat...

Congrats to Irv! I just discovered this thread as I'm sure many others haven't discovered yet.

Keep trying and I'm sure the votes will increase when everyone finds out about this.

It's not the rich guys.....guys like me who are retired and on a limited income and only can do these mods myself cause I can't afford to pay someone else to do it. All my work is done by me basically learning as I go. It's just a hobby and something to play with. :leaving:

Congrats Irv!! Awesome cars....

It doesn't help that it was marked as a sticky. Not many members really pay attention to the post up there....

I follow what you're saying about there being many members on here and little participation on "new ideas". I actually wonder why is that as well. I hope at least with this COTM being a montly idea, it will gain some popularity. When things are new not everybody likes to take them in, i hope some people change their minds. We'll see.
