ive been thinking.
we should have a car of the month.
i remember one of the honda forums had a thing.

and the winner can get sumthing like a free sticker of make our sponsors join in and they can get a coupon or some sort.

iono if they already exist, i did try to search. but ya. it would be cool to have this.
then at the end of your year we can have a car of the year from first 12 months.

what do you guys thing?

That would be nice but it would prolly be to much to handle. They have to delete stupid shit all day, Keeping track of that is imposible when your dealing with retards.

The last thing we need is a "Popularity Contest".

That's all these are.

Besides what are we talking about?
Best Drift car? Beat to hell and abused as such.
Best show car? Useless waste of an engine and wheels.
Best hardparker? See "show car" without money.
Best Auto-X? Umm, so does the best time, or the most sponsors win?

Too many factors. Be happy with your car. Let someone know if you like their car, might make them feel good.

No need for a contest.

Discuss.

i always see alot of projects poping up.
i would put my vote on that kid that has a single cam 2 tone and he stiched his chassis and painted it gray and rebuilt all his bolts.

that is time and beaty!
or the guy that guy that made a 240 truck. that shit is nice ed i believe.

Car of the month doesnt have to mean 'best' car on zilvia. It shoudlnt be a contest, it should just be a cool way to see somebodies car in a more in depth way.

Sometimes everybody just gets to know other members cars by build threads or signatures. If you featured a car more extensively with details and in depth specs on everything it might be a cool way to get to know other members.

I dont think it would be a bad idea at all. Hell, it might give the mods something to do every now and then (because we all know you dont do shit).

Donate $10 and set-up a vBgallery as a Premium Member, then.

I don't think a car of the month would be a bad idea... and it doesn't necessarily have to be categorized or a "contest". We would have a thread with the most prolific cars on zilvia and make a simple poll where people can vote.
at the end of the year we could put together a calendar that could be sold to benefit the site.
I'll volunteer to make it.

I vote my car. Fading black paint job, 2 color interior, 190,000 mile
KA-E... And silvia front end, because i crashed it once or twice...

But come this spring, it'll be a little nicer. just a little.

Best show car? Useless waste of an engine and wheels.

oh dear god....

no car of the month. this isnt a magazine.

that would be like having woman of the month or something everybody has different taste and would talk shit like its fucking youtube or something.

I think ThatGuy summed it up nicely.

I've never liked "Car of the Month" or "Hamster of the Month" or "Dirty, Dirty Whore of the Month" because, frankly, who gives a flying shit. If it's a good-looking or unique car, we'll click on the thread anyway.

theres too many dope cars on zilvia to choose from i think a raffle would be cooler.

12-04-2007, 06:41 PM
I think Nico made a calendar at the end of the year of the 12 cars of the months. I wouldn't care much for the car of the month, but I'd definitely buy the calendar.

12-04-2007, 06:50 PM
a raffle would b cool! haha that way the site would make some money haha.

dollar to enter must be 500 ppl to win iono a set of tires?

Why would there be anything to enforce the community on this board? oh wait, because there is no community, but instead a small social circle of elitists with nice 240s that patronize anyone with differing taste or less money and different priorities than their own. Heaven forbid someone outside of the socal sphere would "win" "car of the month", they're the ones that would turn it into a popularity contest.

Thats how it is from the outsiders looking in. Thats why NICO doesn't like Zilvia. They don't get us. Are you one of them?

EDIT: As for the idea itself, I think a 'wallpaper of the month' would suffice.

i dont ahevb a 240....but i am an elitist...

:keke: oh my god we discuss it and the NICO nots are fucking their fists just waiting for the "copycats" bullshit.

the idea sucks, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

a calendar of twelve hot 240's and z cars would be cool otherwise who cares. by choosing twelve of them you could encompass all like interior, exterior, drift performance(isn't that looks too?) drag performance, autox, road course, spl/soundsystem, clenest engine bay, most baller, etc. maybe even correlate to the month that the autox is in Kansas, the end of october typically ends the drag season, you know what i mean

Yea, best car might not work. We could however, have a best pic of a 240 of the month. Be it the lighting, action, whatsoever. I think that would be tight. You could have a beat to hell 240, and get a good action shot or something such as that. I would enjoy it, and I would assume alot of other members would as well.

I think there are too many members on Zilvia to do something like this...it'd be more realistic to have Best Car of the Day or something, hahaha you know? This shit has new posts every second, it's crazy.

agree'd Picture thread is good enough.

smaller communities like... norcal240 or some site small like them could get away with this.

but you need the same camera guy and the same location to be fair when it comes to these types of things. Thus it becomes a little difficult for some small communities to pull it off because people get busy with other stuff.

+1 for a wallpaper of the month. a randomly selected high quality pic (does it even HAVE to be an s/z chassis?). that you might not otherwise come across, and i dont see a need to archive january's photo come february. you wait a whole month and fuck yourself out of a nice pic go hunt for it you procrastabastard

edit: come to think of it "punxva's picture thread" :D pretty much meets my needs

If you feel that way, that is on you, but in reality it is far different from that. You seem to always be unhappy in all of your posts. Cheer up and enjoy zilvia, don't be so negative.



There are reasons that there is no car of the month. Barry hit the nail on the head...


Stop trying, cuz it is highly unlikely to ever happen.
