Call it voter's remorse, but I wanted to throw some love to Kermee. Check out the build thread.

Some engine porn...

I like em all...hard to decide, is Sawtooths car complete though??

It has to be very close. I know he is bringing it to WCR next week. I don't know for sure but would bet it is driveable now. It is flipping gorgeous

Cool, thanks for the nomination guys! Honored just to be considered for COTM. My car is back on the road, about 95% complete. Drove it to the alignment shop this morning, forgot how much fun it is to drive. Took the shop owner for a drive, a 914 guy himself, and had a blast. I'll be continuing to burn the midnight oil to get the last few things wrapped up in time for WCR. I'll post some update pics in the next couple of days.

Hard to pick just one. All those are awesome examples of love for the 914.

I look at it this way: An 18 year old gets a car has a tight budget and tight time table. Kid is done and didnt spend tens of thousands on it and doing most of the work himself. My vote the kid.

Great turn out this month, but I've gotta vote for Sawtooth on this one. Not only does he really step up when people misplace rear calipers, his car is so ridiculously clean while still being original and different. This is the level of car I hope mine is at when complete! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

The kids are my heroes but my vote goes to my buddy JRust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) He has been working on his so long that it has re-rusted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

I find it hard to choose (usually) and feel bad for the cars I didn't vote for (often) since they are all so awesome.

I read that once nominated, a car cannot be re-nominated later (I think that's the rule ... ?).

Perhaps World will put a time expiration on that so that cars can compete again later on after some time period has expired. I understand the rule (so we don't get bogged down with the same cars over and over again), but then again there are some GREAT cars that have been hard to pass up though they've been up against some great competition. In my opinion, those cars deserve to compete again after a couple months. Just a $0.02 worth to consider.

Having said that, I voted for "clow" this time 'cos once I read the thread and greatly admired the kid's gumption, will, and flat-out desire to pull together a really decent car with such a limited budget as well as a serious time constraint ... well, as a professional engineer I just couldn't NOT vote for that.

I mean, if that isn't true engineering spirit, then I don't know what is. Awesome stuff.

because i don't see this cotm as a beauty contest but more a recognition of a members efforts, build quality, tenacity, accomplishment, one or more of these is reason to be nominated for cotm.

so i vote for the kid [and he did include a picture of a cute chick with the car!]

Not True, I just put in the Rule that any car that was in the Previous Month's Contest is not Eligible in the next. A while back we had cars that were nominated back to back to back. I just want to keep it Fresh and save Jon Bovey some humiliation (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Personally, I try to humiliate Jon every chance I get. He does the same for me. I find myself looking around for garbage cans every time someone points a damned camera at my car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

After reading the Clow thread there's no way I could vote any other way, even though he's from Canadia.

I stand corrected. I do remember Jon's car setting some sort of record these past few months ... sorta like the Buffalo Bills in the 90s. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
