Maybe only votes from members that have been members longer than two or three months need to be counted going forward. Unless there is going to be campaigning.

Not for nuthin... but it seems to me that if this is based on all-around nominations, then a panel of non-8 owners would be more subjective on the vote. Or at least a Professional Mechanic, Designer, Fabricator or like would be a more NON-Bias, NON-Friend Vote based system.
Ever heard of a Lame (Gay-*** "in the derogatory sense") site named "RMR". Yup the only site where a beat-up 30 year old riding lawn mower with no engine can beat out a heavily modified and tuned Testarossa... based on "Members" votes.
Go Figure! </rant>
Respectfully of course!

Well... your comment on my thoughts are senseless to me (and irrelevant to my comment), but never-the-less, I will take the bait.

My statement was in reference to the suspicious vote jacking... (A possible solution and reference to how gang or buddy voting can debunk the legitimate winner.)
-PLease read back a few posts about "new members" recently joining and turning a very close vote! (I thought it was obvious, but... ehhh, maybe not!)
Just the same, it was only "MY OPINION", about as useless as "YOURS".

As far as rude! Maybe a little crass, but I don't feel I was rude. Not that I mind being accused of being rude. Maybe you should take your "Holier-than-thou" collar off and enjoy a nice beer and relax br0tha!

Life is too short to get caught up in semantics.
Once again…
Respectfully of course!
…with no malice.

As a buddy would say!
:beers:

you guys decide who won, it doesnt really matter much to me who did though, its just the internet, but having people sign up and vote for you last minute is sort of a cheap shot, i could have done the same but thats just sad. I told no one to vote for me (except for myself). well whats done is done.

Like i said before I never told them to vote for me. I guess it was my fault that I told them to check out the website(I was just excited about it). If it will make you feel better I will give you the prize for rx8 of the month it really doesn't matter to me. I just dont want people thinking that I cheated for the victory.

trust me bro, i could care less about winning, i hate car shows or contests. its just that when rowena pointed it out, it looked pretty obvious and fishy, you dont have to explain yourself any further, whats done is done.

Oh and BTW!
Respect to all the 8's in the line-up. Nice looking rides. I guess it is reasonable to say that all 8's are winners in my book!

lol nice one man....hey XDEEDUBBX I totally understand where your coming from so I dont blame you for being slightly upset, it did look fishy. But if there is a way to check IP addresses I would be all for it.

Who cares about the voting, a wins a win as far as I'm concerned. My issue was that Shinka, excuse me, MISS Shinka wasn't the winner. That was before I knew she wasn't/couldn't be nominated. Give this months winner his do, his car is nice and this site is small enough that the voting is ALL legit.

Well no matter what I say people already have a preconceived notion about me and because of this it feels like a hollow victory. I never asked for any of this to happen. I know that XDEEDUBBX feels cheated and I probably would too. So just give him the victory because I am really tired of defending myself.
