Last year the owner of #1 drove about an hour away from where he was busy working (helping someone with their 914) to sit with my cousin and her broke down car.

He called AAA, and had them tow her car for her, footed the bill in one way or another, and then drove another hour to get home. He was more than happy to help out two people that day that I'm aware of, and he just keeps on smilin'.

This is at least the 4th time he's been nominated for COTM, his car looks great, he's an highly active member in the 914 world(both off and ON the forums), he really does deserve some more votes.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) He is a great guy and he is always smiling. He took time out of his day to teach me how to drive a stick in his on car and allowed to me drive it around while I was visiting my parents a couple years ago. He truly deserves more votes.

Yes, Jon is like that baseball player that is up for the Hall of Fame every year, but doesn't get in because the competition is so tough. Eventually he gets in with the Oldtimers exception vote in.

Heck, he deserves it, just for giving AA his Original emblem instead of making them pay through the nose.

I typically don't care for the late model bumpers, but #2 looks great. Got my vote.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Thanks guys. Even if I don't win hearing what you guys say is worth more than COTM.

Oh, and I think this is the 5th or 6th time my car has been up for COTM (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) But every car that beat me, and most have been very close, have been amazing cars. Can't feel bad losing to them.

Yeah... but who is #4?? My point is that YOU are ACTIVE on the forum, off the forum, everybody knows you.

Next time maybe I'll nominate the 914-8 that's sitting on the show room floor of the Porsche museum. It's a nice car... and the owners seem to be just as active as #4's owner. (who hasn't even stopped in to say anything about his car)

just sayin'...

No not really Jon... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) You're supposed to be talking about how your car is nicer and all the things you have done to it. Maybe you should post more pics? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

Whatever the outcome, hang in there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Maybe if we were voting for person of the month... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

All very nice cars, but I have to go with #4.
