Ride of the Quarter (Q3 2007) OFFICIAL VOTING thread!

[Ever Victorious]

OK... this is 24 hours before I was going to post it, but with no new full nominations in a week... meh.

So... who will win the first Ride of the Quarter honors? You vote!

[CodeRed]

Its been 3 days and yet no one has posted, weird.

[ShusterVision]

What I dont understand is why there is 3 hundred views and yet only like 37 votes... ?

A lot of people are probably engrossed by the race and are constantly checking back to see the results.

As a mod I've been checking it at least twice a day.

[marleyfan]

A link to pictures of the nominees would have helped in the voting process. It was actually Kimber's lastest pics of his V that decided my vote. (not for Kimber...sorry).

[KimberKenobi]

Just for clarification, I'm a femme.

p.s. don't be sorry, vote for who you want ;oDBut what I don't understand is how that changed anything since my car has been blue with red emblems for awhile now (I just didn't get the back finished)... That's where I'm confused, but my new thread is probably the place for that discussion, gimme feedback Marleyfan!

[COVersaSL]

There is a link to pics on my signature

Maybe we should do it like a normal election. You have to sign the poll book. That way we can verify voter history. I voted.

(I work for a particular state's Election Commission, so I am drenched in the voting process, DON'T TELL ANYONE)

[Ever Victorious]

I'm not seeing anything in the poll that would indicate that ballot stuffing is occurring. Besides, logistically it would be a nightmare to do what you're asking because the poll software is not set up to work that way, so we'd have to create a thread, have people vote, have moderators tallying on the fly, and try to keep people from double-posting and taking up useless space.

No, this simple poll system will work fine for now.

[coxcj]

the politicians in Chicago would love to have you around.

Vote Early! Vote Often!

[drummernamedpat]

I was being sarcastic. Although, how do you know if dead people are voting or not? I mean someone dies, a person hacks their Nico profile, and votes. People will do almost anything for the sake of their car's reputation....

I like the poll on here.

[ThirstyRoss]

Anyone got a link to pics of ShusterVision's Versa?

I think COVersaSL has the nicest interior, hands down, but I think Kimber has done the best in terms of external work.

[ShusterVision]

Yo, here ya go.

[ThirstyRoss]

Thanks. Do you have any better pics of your (A'PEXi NEO) fuel monitoring unit?

Very interested in how you mounted it and so forth, as I would like to get one for my Versa...

[ShusterVision]

I can go take some pictures again, but I mounted it with velcro. It is wired through the back and is quite seamless. The cup holder comes off in two sections so the neo fits snug in. I just got the car tuned, but I forgot to get the dyno sheet. The neo helped only a bit. It will be worth it later on down the road. It was 30C (89 F) today plus the humidity level, so it was pretty hot. The temperature most likley affected the results, but the max HP hit around 112 to the wheels. Im guessing when it cools down a bit as well as when I'm actually driving it will show a bit more.

[KimberKenobi]

Holy moly! almost 540 hits??? People must be watchin' this mad crazy!!

[CodeRed]

I'm winning!

[COVersaSL]

HOLY CR@P!! CodeRed I love your avatar... BABY RUTH!

[KimberKenobi]

It's so close!! oh, this is so much fun!!!!

[CodeRed]

HOLY CR@P!! CodeRed I love your avatar... BABY RUTH!

Heyyyyyy you guys!

On a side note, when is this pole over?

[Ever Victorious]

June 28th.

[KimberKenobi]

AAHHHH!!! Eight more days?!? "Cap'n, I don't think she'll take much more of this!"

[Ever Victorious]

Lol

OK... so since it's pretty clear either Kimber or SV will be the winner (barring a major push by fans of one of the other 3), here's what I want:

I would like both Kimber and Shuster to write up a short, 3-4 paragraph write-up of their car and what they have done with it. Also, please take a spread of 12 photos of your car, as close to professional quality as possible. Shine up your V, take it out to a scenic location, and turn your digital camera up to max resolution.

When the winner is announced, CodeRed and I will need the winner to email us their writeup and pictures so that, hopefully, on July 1st we can get the ROTQ posted on the portal page.

Edit: Clarification: These writeups and photoshoots are not to be posted in this thread. They are to be held onto until the Mods request them, and then they will be sent directly to the mods via email.

[ShusterVision]

Sound good to me. So I have a good week or so to do this? Excelent.

[Ever Victorious]

Bump... c'mon people, less than a week left! Vote if you haven't already!

[KimberKenobi]

Bump...

(I'm sure there's more than 54 of us...)

[Kolk1]

Is the only thing Kimber has done to the car is attacked it with spray paint? Or am I missing something?

I know she likes her car, and thats fine, and im not bashing her at all, most people dont like what Ive done to mine either. Just thought it would take more than spray paint to get the first ROTM.

[COVersaSL]

Kimber... What happened to the propeller you had on your car in your youtube video? That was pretty cool.

The things she's done to her car are things that will make people look twice when she drives by, Versa owners or not. There are hundreds of cars out there with killer sound systems, but only one Sopwith Camel!
