After talking to a member (who shall remain anonymous ) the word RIDE means Car, Veh., Whip, Short, Cruck, etc. Not RUN, Cruise, Road trip.

I would say that ride of the month would be the featured ride of the month, once it gets back on a monthly track! We'll keep on JonnyB and not allow any slack/laspe this time!

Can we (mid-Central) have a car of the month for our Region only???

I suppose you could. Start with a "September Ride of the Month" thread in your region!! The author of the thread or a Moderator can make it a sticky. Then start with the next month, unsticky the old and sticky the new for each month!

I don't see why it would have been locked. I did not lock it.
The author of a thread can also lock their thread.
If another Moderator locked it, I do not know the reason(s).

I also said a Moderator can close threads too.
A side note for others, an author of a thread can also delete it. As well as a Moderator.

Well this poll ends in approx 20 hrs. Got a lot of views, (12) replies, some suggestions, about 2/3 thought it was a workable idea (not even my idea ),some thought it was overkill.
I`m pretty much on the fence, mainly because the feeling I get (vibes ) from some members, that this isn`t a car forum, as much as it is a "But what about my personal life" type blog or something.
I`m really considering just visiting the site, reading, and not joining in, because you never can really tell what the response to a reply will bring.
Some clubbers have to actually be told,( literally ), that you are saying something in jest or it`s taken to heart, and all heck breaks out.
So with that in mind, having a car of the month, quarter, run, year,etc. may be more trouble than it`s worth.
With all the views but no replies, it almost seems like there`s only a couple people involved anyway.

B/B what do you say to this: Lets get down & dirty and have another Fun and crazy weekend in Oct 2006. Life is to short. What do you say :thumb: .

I can see it now Z-Man, Black Beauty, ChitownHHR, Novadiecast, and the next new member in our area rolling down the Highway in October 2006, Check it out! What do you say, What else do you have to do that weekend.

Well, this thread was a poll, not a RUN planner.
With that in mind, (16) replies,(35) votes,and (366) views, tells me that there`s no interest in a RIDE (CAR) of the month.

Thanx to all who participated, on to the next poll.

:D First I want to say that the Z-Man... He`s a real nut... But He`s my Bud anyway.
Maybe theres so many things being tossed out to members at this time, it`s just overwhelming. I know sometimes I have to stop and take a breather.
I think that as time passes, more members will feel freer to join in, not just read, but get invovled. Plus a lot of people just like their ride, joined to see what kind-a stuff we`re doing and talking about. Thats Cool too.
Deciding on the Ride (car) of the month will be a very difficult task, since we all think we have "The Ride of the Month". I know I do...

I`ve been in Love with my Cruck since day one, even started a YR-1 campaign. How ever or if there is a Ride of the Month,I`m sure that the owner will be Proud and Appreciative of the honor.

Thanx again, see you next poll B/B:thumb:
