This is a VEHICLE competition, not a photography competition, and as such, heavily edited, HDR'd, or obviously professional quality "glamour" or action shots will not be allowed. Please represent your car truthfully with just "standard" pictures
No discussion will take place in the Entry List Thread. No quoting of pictures will be tolerated in members entry threads. Posts that quote picture will be deleted without warning or explanation.
You may enter as often as you like, if you win you may not enter for 6months or the remainder of the calendar year, whichever is longer.
Entry is done by creating an entry thread in the Vehicle of the Month forum.

There will be no discussions in the Entry Link thread
There will be a limit of 10 entrants per month, first come, first served
A winner shall be picked in a two step process. Site wide voting will take place for two weeks following the entry period. The two vehicles which receive the most votes will then move on to Staff Judging. This final step is where Steddy, Deathscythe, and myself will place our votes for VOTM.(Any additional SuperModerators who join the Staff will also vote in this process) The vehicle which receives the most Staff votes will be the winner!
Entries will be accepted for the first week of the month (days 1-7), weeks 2 and 3 will be open for voting(days 8-21), judging will take place during week 4 (days 22-28) The winner will be announced at end of month.
