someone can nominate me!

canadam · 01-22-2006, 03:23 PM

You're allowed to nominate yourself.

turbonatormr2 · 01-23-2006, 01:52 PM

Man! only 5 votes. Either my car really sucks, or I am very disliked around here.

OCDetails.com · 01-25-2006, 11:35 PM

Pictures don't do it justice. If you guys saw Pheonix's car in person then you'd want to vote twice for him. That car rocks!

yom's thinking of an mr2 · 01-26-2006, 12:00 AM

turbonator, i think your car kicks ass but i like the color of phoenix's mr2 and the front end a little better. plus i've seen it, and it looks so damn good in person.

I second that.

waterturtle1 · 01-27-2006, 11:46 PM

from the picture,,,,,and the way he descrble the car.
Phoeonx is the car of the Jan.mr2,2006...

mymr2turbo · 01-28-2006, 12:09 AM

I think the reason why Pheonix has taken this poll easily is cause his car is more visually appealing with all those mods. now if it was a power poll then it'd be vice-versa.

agreed, turbonator could probably pull a spark plug wire and still beat me by a few seconds in the quarter.

even if he is from UTAH, he can do some great fiberglass work. you should see the interior.

Personally, Phoenix took some nice pictures, but turbonator is backing the weight of his car up with those mods. Man, I wish I had the kind of money to refresh my engine too. ;(

Hey turbonator? What do you do?
