Sindy, I did not mean to imply that you didn't do your job! I am sorry if I did. We have all learned from it, I think we all took the "featured" thing as a friendly little show of our cars. It is an honor to win, but by no means is it a dishonor to not win. If problems continue...like I suggested..do away with it all together. No one will leave the website because of it. BTW, I have mentioned your salsa? LOL. Todd(Uma)

 

I didn't take it that way Todd!
But I am trying to move forward with this topic!

I promise more salsa next time we meet up!

 

Done! And I will hold you too the salsa thing! Todd (Uma)

 

You make a lot of sense here this should have been caught was before the voting even started i mean I posted my pics without hosting them in the members gallery and Sindy jumped on me right away, and I fixed it. He posted his pics and nothing was said he also didn't have them hosted in the members gallery someone else hosted them in the, other members gallery for him. As I said before I apologized for saying what I said to him before the vote was over, and he still flamed me when i didn't even start this whole argument. The only things I think should be changed is 30 day minimum member to enter, no advertising (watermarks), and at least a 10 post minimum. Again I'm sorry if anyone thinks this is all my fault, I don't want to come off as a soar loser cuz I'm not. He has a nice car (well paint job) and as I stated before if I would of actually known who he was and not just some random dude that comes on here says a few words and thats it, then yea he would have deserved the win. Lets just all get along and be the big happy family were supposed to be.
Ok now with all that being said I'm gonna go take my pimp ass rental Impala for cruise on the blvd and let the wind blow through my hair. LMAO

 

^^^^Trouble maker^^^^
LOL, Just kidding Chad. Oh, don't get too used to that Impala now

 

I;m glad to see everyone paying special attention to this whole subject.
I think it's safe to say that some changes need to be done.

so...now that many of us have made suggestions...are there any thoughts from the admins about this?

we can beat this horse longer if you'd all like to.

Chad said his peace, Todd, myself, Doc, Sindy, Snoopy, Tireman, Memphis...

there've been some rants, a few raves, many suggestions...

now what?

the featured car seems to be a good thing...so I think we can all agree that the rules need to be followed, members shouldnt have to police anything, and it seems the 30 day/10 post requirement doesnt hurt anybody's feelings.

and without sounding too much like a hard-a$$, lets face it...the rules, once written, must be followed...no exceptions. If your pics arent hosted in the gallery...it doesnt matter WHEN you get caught in noncompliance.... dot.com, image hosting, image count, image size, whatever...rules are rules...if other contestants could follow them, then EVERYONE who enters has to.

I am sure it was unintentional...I am sure it should have been caught before the voting...but it wasnt. and a rule was broken...

and that is that...is, was, and hopefully never will be again.

I think we've all made our suggestions...and it's time to build a bridge...and get over it.

I said my peace...and as predicted, it was turned around as if I did something wrong.

we need to just enjoy this site
enjoy our cars
share our joys
make new friends, and nurture old ones

and make this the place it was when we ALL first joined...an outlet for us to share a common thread.

Todd, if you think I called you a cheater. You are wrong. But if I made you think that in the first place...I am sorry. I mean that. I could not accuse someone of breaking a rule that doesnt exist. I will mind my P's and Q's...I am still a newbie, and dont want to show any disrespect to you good people.

Doc...same to you. I cant call anyone a cheater, if they didnt break any rules. You won the vote, and let me finally say congrats to you. again, I would have voted for your car if it wasnt my stocker DSM against it...so to you, congrats, and again, I am sorry.

congrats to those who have won the honor in the past...and let everyone else step up and submit featured car applications in the future...

wouldnt it be cool to have 10 entries, and 500+ votes?

we can make this happen...just set up a poll...with NO option for reply...and take a simple vote as to some minor rules for the featured submission.

there have been a few solid suggestions here...throw them up for a vote. I know the admins want to make the ultimate decision, as they should...but if you had a poll, with no comments...you'd see where the MEMBERS stand...at least the members who care about this subject.

and I have been swayed...I will gladly enter my car in future submissions...the more entries...the greater the honor for the winner, and the lessor the loss for the others, right?

I LOVE seeing pictures of HHR's...all of them...stock, modified, tricked out, customs, slammed, jacked, chromed, stickered, raced, parked, whatever...

lets make it about the cars....
(exhale)

 

I think its safe to say you just "Skinned that Smokewagon"
Thanks!

Time to lock this thing!

 

Thank you for the change! That's a nice one...reminds me of me

 

with what he said. I couldn't agree more.


again! I'm glad to hear that and next time you're car's entered you've got my vote.

 

Glad that we are all good! I am sure we all want to put this thing behind us. And it is! Smoke, we are good, you know, you read something one day and react to it, then read it again the next day, and it comes off a little differently. I need to hold my tongue and let thinks sink in a little bit. Sindy is really ready to end this thing, so lets do that. Todd (Uma)
