We will see in October how this car does at the track. Thanks for Viewing.

[PurpleHazeTSi]

1g FTW!


thanks man, it was a VERY close race. Good luck next month!


thanks to everyone else, it was alot of work to get the car where im at now.

[K_Mans_TSI]

thanks man, it was a VERY close race. Good luck next month!

Nah, I'm done. 3 times entering is more than enough, gotta let someone else try :).

[i need a dsm]

Congrats!!

You had my vote!!

[speed_demon]

I had a feeling about this race when I first saw the entries, needless to say, I was right about this being a close race. If JessGST would enter in the ROTM, there is a 2G that would kick some serious ass. I love the 1G's but I think that very few 2G's look good. Kurt, Tarantula and MufflerBearing have the best 2G's that have entered in the competition.

[winterwarz]

Congratulations on the win.

[Spoolin69]

Black Cherry 1G FTW!!!

Congrats!!!

[2geclipselove]

Congrats on teh win! However I am kind of getting depressed it has been all 1G's thus far, it is still a hell of a beautiful car!

congrats haze

[jayycobb]

Any way to tell if any were cast after 12pm?

There definitely was no 12 vote jump, it was pretty consistant but Haze never trailed the last couple days.

The last few votes I saw came for Kurt which pulled him closer (Haze was up by like 6 at one point. I went to sleep like 4am (pacific) and as I mentioned earlier the vote was 87-90 for PH or it was 89-92.. One or the other. (Main thing I remember is Haze was up by 3)

Woke up in the morning and all of a sudden it was 92-94..:dunno:

There should be better measures taken to make sure the poll actually ENDS at 12:00pm

[TanGSX]

Congratz!! More pics please. :)

[2themoon]

That Talon is bitchin seriously :puke:sick , excellent contrast the paint and the wheel colour looks awesome suits it to a Tee , congrats :D

There was a large jump well AFTER the polls were closed for mine, I'm talking about the last few hours of the last day. I went to bed it was 83-84 and woke up it was 87-94

[xuberantz]

Beautiful DSM, featured car material for sure.

[EASTcoastGST]

Sexy car. 1g love is stronger than 2g I guess.

[boosted831]

Congrats on the win. Awesome car. :)

:confused: That's odd, I definitely didn't notice any sort of jump like that. I went to bed Friday and woke up and it was a higher number than that..

But that means you both spiked on your votes so its not like it matters. (even though there was no spike that big, either way it is what it is)

Great battle though. Finish the car up and enter again, you're bound to win.;) Awesome car regardless bro.:tree:

[Tayboo24]

Congrats man! Smeksi car!

Maybe it was cached on my computer or something then

[James92TSi]

Right now, I manually close the poll. There is no midnight deadline. It's open until the moment it's not open (seems like a very Yogi Berra way of putting it).

This month it closed on the 2nd.

I can set it up such that there is an automatic close time as part of the poll... but it will not be midnight. Vbulletin bases the poll close time on the time the thread was created. You specify the "number of days to leave poll open" and it adds that number of days (24 hour periods) to the datetime the poll was posted.

Keep in mind however that each username gets only 1 vote no matter when the poll closes. It is not like public online polls where you get 1 vote per day, or unlimited votes. In our system we are not likely to be affected by having the poll stay open for an extra day. You get 1 vote whether you cast it on the first day the poll is open, or sneak it in at the end.

But if you guys want an automatic poll close, I can do that. It's not complicated at all... but like I said it won't be midnight (unless you are in China). ;)

[TSimage]

it makes sense... The winning car should be chosen BEFORE the month it is to be the car of the month. By the 1st of that month it should be on the front page.

But I'm just picky like that lol.

[k1tty]

I love your car!!!!! Lol Congrats Chris!!!!! :)

[PurpleHazeTSi]

Car looks great, congrats on the win.

[Ripper_XX]

I love the look of the paint on that last pic! I never really thought colors like that would look that good on 1G's. Kind of makes me wish I had, had mine re-painted a different color than the OEM red. *shrug* oh well, Awesome car though.

The only thing I see cosmetically I would change (if it were mine) is put a Talon grill back on it. *shrug* Bad ass either way.

1Ga FTW!

[myAWDgst]
