Good to see everything is going well! My stomach sunk today when i pick up the new modified mag and Bryan Higgins (Area47s) Cobalt in there with 4 pages!!! I was the one who got his car put in that mag, they did the photoshoot in st.louis it was by RDM, I used to talk to Jason Tarach the editor there quite often about getting Cobalts in the Mag, well i set Bryan up with a guy named Tracy who came out to Chicago last year to the CED meet and after he saw Bryans car he asked me to make the decision to proceed to get the car in the mag and they sent the pics in and Modified said lets do it. Im so pissed cause he didnt mention my name!!! My day is Ruined....I think Garms car could get in an Issue, i was going to see if i could set something up for him in the future for one of their guys to shoot his car and get some info on it. First i would need pics to email David to see if he would even go for it. You guys will find out how much i actually am involved in with the car scene in the future, hehe.

i suppose ill submit for yotm tomorrow or something. gotta go get some good pics i guess lol

when is the deadline? sept 14th?

TheRealEnth · 09-02-2009, 04:10 AM

ii think it should all be based on how the shot gets taken =D, i mean it would be unfair if only the heavily modded won... so it matters on how nice of a shot you can get your yaris in, be creative. Use the church,field, mountainside, Guardrail, hotel, Forest, Tree, Beach, parking garage, etc, as ur background, take the picture in the right angle with the right lighting and bam and then of course u gotta make a bio about yourself when u win the month

The classes idea isn't a good one. You guys overestimate how many interested owners we have. I give it 6 months before we have an empty class.

The first go-round it wasn't the super heavily modded that won every time. Kaotic Lazagna won one of the months. His car isn't over-the-top. He just takes really good pictures.

Just make one YOTM and be done with it. Having a stock class for a ride of the month competition is absolutely hilarious. My two cents. Its your guys' baby.

Let people have a little fun!

On the other hand, I'm not sure if you guys want to have 3 YOTM per month (one for each class?) or if that will rotate? (please don't make me re-read 77 posts again , puuuuleeeeeezzz

)

i do like the idea of 3 yotm but realistically, no one does that.

why dont we just make it clear that even though there is one class, everyone still has an equal chance.

picture quality really does matter. on SVrider.com i used to see mediocre sv650s win all the time because of amazing pics over the really really nice ones.

also, if you win yotm, its more prestigious if only one gets elected each month instead of 3.

just my .02

Bingo.

I'm not trying to be negative. I'm just kind of scratching my head because after we all agreed that we should keep this simple we came up with the most complicated ride of the month structure I've seen on a forum. Like I said though, its fine! I'm in, aren't I?

^ that's ok, it's all good, I don't have to manage it, LOL. Bottom line: we have a YOTM and we didn't before... right?

Ima watch this month and get in next month with a few new things on the car.

plus there will be a bunch of people here who will have professional shoots done with extra lighting , mounts etc etc that it will last about 2 months and people will just say whatever

3 winners per month equals 36 winners a year.

after a year were gonna run out of truely dedicated yaris owners submitting to the contest LOL

Maybe, maybe not. You forgot about new members coming in and old members going inactive. Happens @ every forum, I'm sure it happens here, too.

As long as people are having fun, it's all good, no?

JumpmanYaris · 09-02-2009, 06:46 PM

I could care less 3 or 1 winners we all r winners lol =)

ChinoCharles · 09-03-2009, 05:43 PM

Well I would hope you two agree!
