Hey, backwords Jeremy, is that the barn in the state park north of Kewanee, IL? I think that's where I saw that barn last fall.

Not wanting to be a turd, but could we keep this thread for entries please?

Thanks!:thumb:

Thanks!:thumb: Is there a new set of rules for this? There were numerous posts last month that did not include pictures but just comments and you even posted a few yourself. Has something changed?

Well Steve I guess there are, I had it for now.

yeah, that barn is in Johnson's Sauk Trail State Park, which is just north of Kewanee...thought that was a cool place to take some pictures, I think the black & white looks nice too...

I tried to discuss this in PMs but it looks like its now becoming an issue.

My only intention was to try to keep this thread as on topic as much as possible in fairness to the people who are taking the time to post pics.

I'm hoping for at least as many entries as last month. As we know though, when a thread has a lot of pics it can take a long time to open/download. I had requested that replies not include posted pics and that we try to stay on topic with the thread.

I was not trying to enforce any new or old rules, there aren't really any rules.

I just thought this would be a fun thing for our region.

I'm sorry if anyone took offence. None was meant.

Mike

i wish i could enter but i dont own an hhr

RUDEINC, technically you're not in the Mid-Central, Indiana is part of the Mid-East I think. I don't wanna be the one to say you can't enter but........

You do have an exceptional looking ride though!:bow: What about putting together a spread in the Pictures and Video thread for the sites featured car? They should be choosing a new one soon. Mine's been featured for a couple months now.:D

I understand.....But......What if I work and own rental property in Illinois?..:lol: :lol: ..LOL....That's cool though. :thumb: The only reason I posted here was because I saw that Novadiecast was from Michigan City and is really active in this division and he's the next town to the east from me, so I just figured I was in the right spot....My Bad.......Regards

I am a member of this site for the Mid-Central region and I have been trying to contact any one in the State of Indiana and received no results other then Pizzaman and My Amigo Novadiecast. So I welcome RUDEINC to the Mid-Central region its not his fault that we are the best in what we do and I do understand that he wants to be with the Best and have Fun. Mr RUDEINC I am asking you to come to our BBQ at starve Rock on the 21st NOVADIECAST will send you a PM
Once again WELCOME and please POST your PIC if you wish I am sure the rest of the members feel the same.

You have got to be kidding me, Pizza and Me have been adapted in to the mid central area and now we have someone new that wants in and that isn't allowed. Give me a break!!! I say Rudeinc Welcome:bow: You have a great looking HHR. My vote if I have one is for RUDEINC:one:

Ya know I can't seem to do anything right with this.

I have been accused of making/changing rules and now I'm being accused of not allowing someone in.

I am very glad people want to be a part of this and I'm very grateful for the contributions that nova, pizzaman and iowa1960 have made. I can't play the game if I don't know the rules.

So we don't have to keep going over this time and time again, and I did ask about this before this even started, who is eliglable for the "Mid-Central Ride of the Month"?

I want this to be fun and it doesn't make any difference to me, I just want this to be fair.

I just think that if you are bordering a region that is active, Why not. That is why Pizza and I got involved with the Mid Central. And anybody that nows anything about the Chicago land area nows that Northwest Indiana is definatly included in it. So lets just all get along with people who want to be involved and participate regardless!!!!!!:nuts: :nuts: :nuts:

We'll do it all over again each month until we get tired of it.
You can only be featured once a year.

Hey Guys/Gals, The idea behind the RIDE of the MONTH was to have a Ride chosen from the members of the MID-CENTRAL region, who wanted to have their Ride featured for (1) month, once a year.
Just because there are neighboring States, Regions, and Members coming to OUR RUNS because their region has no activity, does not qualify them to enter a contest in our region, and just eliminate the rules/requirements because, well he`s/she`s a good person. Well Who`s" not ? ( ok maybe I`m not ).
If the people in another region want a RIDE of the MONTH , start one... I see at least (3) potential candidates right here on this thread... Then If you want to go to their site, join their contest, maybe they won`t have any rules either.
The contest was fair, theres no need to change/bend the rules. If we can`t get past the first month without bending, then we should just eliminate the whole thing and just participate in the national contest.

Up until this point, everyone played by the rules. No one from any other region entered their Ride in the contest...
Everyone understood the rules as layed out. Now I have to have a problem because SOME PEOPLE can`t be FAIR and HONEST...
Had RUDEINC been coming to the thread, saw the contest, saw HE wasn`t eligible , MOVED on, we wouldn`t be talking about this at all. Now I`m the one that`s wrong.
You could`ve just welcomed/invited him to the run and said " I`m sorry, Rules are RULES", no instead you were willing to just disregard the rules, Why.?
I`m not afraid of a little compo, Legit COMPO.

Point well made and well taken.

I was hoping you would say something because I happen to agree. This was started for HHRs in our region. I guess I've gotten gun-shy because anytime I say/do something anybody doesn't agree with, I'm considered being difficault and an a$$.

I'm just sick and tired of all the fighting and really don't care about it anymore. But no, I'm not going to take my toys and go home and pout.

I just wish that everyone would understand that you can't be all things to everyone no matter how much "fun" we want to have.

I say this and won't mention this again. I can't vote or run for office in a state I don't live in. This is just stupid trivial stuff. Its a contest for a car for crying out loud.

The run at Starved Rock, JC Witneys , none of that has anything to do with the requirements to enter the RIDE of the MONTH contest. That`s a ONE TIME event. We`re talking about a MONTHLY event. Nova, Pizza, didn`t enter their Rides last month. I can`t speak for them, but I would think it was because they felt that the rules didn`t allow them to enter. I`m sure if I`m wrong they`ll say so. You on the other hand, just don`t get it.
Now you don`t even remember there were any rules... You obviously would vote for some one out of spite, rather than do so honestly because they have the best ride. I don`t want mad votes. I want honest votes...

PS, Bad rules are bad rules. I`ve never been against rules, if I see something is wrong I point it out. Of course you have to know right from wrong, good , bad....

Boy, did this open a can of worms...........and to keep the peace I'm requesting that my vehicle entry be removed from "YOUR" contest.....Thanks......Nova, Z-man, Pizza, Old School and everyone else that supported RUDEINC, Thank You!..... But I don't want any part of this...

Regards....Mark

OK then Who made the rules?? who said no other person from any state was not eligble? I dont remmember voting on it (maybe im wrong) I am not tryin to fight with anyone either but like i pm`d to Mike it aint like there is a freakin million dollar prize for the winner or anything?? And if i do like the rest and stop postin in here then Mike and BB you 2 can post your cars for the next 2 months ride of the month and win and then your out of it for 9 months! and wouldnt have a problem with anyone else no matter where they are from entering the ride of the month!!?? Are you 2 gonna tell chris (novadiecast) that if whitneys wants to give him a trophey on the 21st he cant have it cause he aint in our region?? he has help our region out emmensly!! come on i think you 2 are bein a lil freakish about it or maybe i am wrong??? Tony

Thanks for the public attack.

BTW, not that anyone cares, but I did try to give everyone a chance to give input.

http://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4184 (http://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4184)

Not one person cared enough to make a single comment. So I did what I thought was fair. And I'm sorry but what's the point of having a "Mid-Central Ride of the Month" anyway if anybody can enter?

You talk about where's the love?

How about where's the right to have your own opinion.

BTW, I eliminated myself from the contest since I'm already the site's featured car so I already don't care who wins.

And now of course, I'll get blamed for Rudeinc's attitude.

RUDEINC, technically you're not in the Mid-Central, Indiana is part of the Mid-East I think. I don't wanna be the one to say you can't enter but........

You do have an exceptional looking ride though!:bow: What about putting together a spread in the Pictures and Video thread for the sites featured car? They should be choosing a new one soon. Mine's been featured for a couple months now.:D

Yeah, I was really being mean and hateful.

There again you`re talking about the Run. This thread is about the Ride of the Month.
Mike and Bonnie live in the region, had someone from outside the region had more mods they might have won. Pat never said it was restricted to MID-CENTRAL, he ran the contest. The R.O.M. on the other hand was always a M-C "only" thing. We even checked with the administators before proceeding.
It was an established rule.

What the hell is wrong with all of us that for a short time we were going at it again! Can't we do anything without all of the drama?

I'm sorry to all, especially Tony and Mark.

I had no idea that an idea as simple as a photo contest could get people so riled!

I'm done discussing this. I think the guidelines were/are fair. They will not change. I understand that some will think this isn't fair. I'm not trying to be unfair, just the opposite.

I love ya all!:thumb:

BB,Mike and Rudeinc i am sorry as well and im also finished disgussin it!! later buds!!! OLDSCHOOL OUT!!!

Staying away isn`t the answer Mike, when I sat back and watched, my silence was counted as a vote of approval.
We all know the rules, Without rule you have Chaos. People willing to look the other way or bend this rule or that rule , is why we`re in the mess we`re in , in this country. Like I said, I`m not the nicest guy, and probably because I know what happens when you`re so nice you can`t say no. "NO GOOD DEED GOES UN-PUNISHED"

I ain't goin' nowheres! Yet!

But this thread has gotten so out of control I'm shutting it down. I'll start a new thread for November. I'll PM those concerned so they can re-enter if they choose. I will be asking Rude to re-enter since I had already said it was okay.

Be advised though, that this is a region thing. One of the reasons we were allowed to do this was because it was specific to the region. That was the deal. And as I said before,We'll do it all over again each month until we get tired of it.

Peace, out!

DON`T BACK DOWN, do the right thing. If you let another region enter, shut it down, no point...

I am very sorry , but I am gone!:(

I see we are having fun :thumb: . Will this BS ever stop? :roll:
