This wraps up my first year as a Mod here...or on any forum really. It's been an interesting and fun experience, and I'm glad I can finally give back to the community.

2007 has been an expanding year at SL-i, and the ROTM showed some of our new blood. We had a Mad Max-esque Wagon, Another slick ride by a famous member, a TIE, Mod vs. Mod, and who could forget the Huge-Foglight-wearing, Ultra-rare bumpers?(Just to name a few) Without further adieu, here are the nominees for Ride of the Year--the Ride of the Month winners from 2007. The PHPBB poll system won't let me make 12 choices, so please post below with your vote, I will tally it all up on January 15th, and announce the winner a day or two later.

December '07 ROTM Winner, SansMySTI's 2002 GT BH Wagon.

Gonna have to go with Livestrong. The time and effort that has gone into his ride makes it one of a kind in my book. Well, and of course he is local to me! :grin:

On another note, all these cars are badass!

This was a very tough choice! Some stellar cars here and the diversity in the cars really shows what makes this site great.

My car made quite allot of changes since then though, Updates in a few weeks, just waiting one more thing :twisted:

tint the windows? haha i joke, hotboxer's BD is very sweet.

this was a tough decision indeed... i was down to three cars for a long time, but after looking not only at the pretty pictures above, but at the work put into these cars, my vote goes to dplacencia...

SilentRacer's BE

With the exception of the 4EAT and the color, that car is pretty much what I want for my own enjoyment. He also introduced me to this site. :wink:

Thanks Shane, poll is up.

I thought it was an integrated PHPBB thing, not something you could adjust. Sweet.

Of course I have to vote for myself, but I love WRB, so Hotboxer would be my next choice. I really want to go WRB myself.

I have to say I always fall for that WRB! Hotboxer, you got my vote!

However, I have to say that I really like Sybir's RWD BC. I used to have a BC and I loved it! I was rocking the light blue that I constantly had to remind people was:

ICE BLUE

:lol: :cool:

I love Sybirs RWD BC... but he doesn't even own it anymore so I couldn't vote for it.
HotBoxers WRB BD is nice... but I'd respect it more if he had had the car painted himself and not purchased that way.
LiveStrongs BC is incredible and I really dig all the mods done + its local... but I had to vote for

Dplacencia's BD!

I can really respect all the time and effort that has gone into it. The WRX steering wheel, WRX e-brake, 18! inch Prodrive PFF7's, JDM heads and tails. Its overall a very neat and complete package. The paint looks amazing. The only thing left is to slam it down on those coilovers!

All these cars are winners though.

Huffer's wagon gets my vote.......I love clean white cars :D

And the BC is still in the family, it just got turned into the shop racecar, it's just not parked in my driveway anymore, because it'll be much cooler with a built motor, standalone, cage, etc ;)

Did I mention I love you guys?

Tough vote! I was never into Subie's much until we got the LGT from my parents... The more I see them, the more I like them.

All of them are sharp looking cars! But Alcoyne gets my vote today. Though, if I was allowed to vote again tomorrow, I'm sure it would be different. :lol:

Lets get some more votes here. All you new guys and lurkers jump in on this.

I voted a few days ago.


My votes:

1st - Sybir's RWD SS because it is HOT. I don't care if he owns it, sold it, or blew it up.

2nd - Huffer's wagon. Clean + white + gold = sexy.

3rd - HotBoxer's Leggy. I just like it.

I think alcyone's BD is about as hot as it can get, but I also think it's awesome that silent racer was one of the first to put the baja hood on his legacy. BE's don't get enough loving around here, so my vote went his way. Very tough choice though.

I can't believe Stanz hasn't had more votes for the Mad Max wagon...

Har, Har.

Last chance to vote people, because of the problems I've been having with the poll, I'm tallying up the winner tonight. I think Hotboxer had 4 votes, and I hadn't voted yet, so he'll have '5' for now, any additional votes will get added onto that. Did anyone happen to get a screenshot of the poll before shit went south?

I think we have a winner. I'll post officially after the packers game tonight.
