Let's try this again, I'm shooting for a cool contest, everyone loves pictures, and since last month's theme was something not really popular around here as stated by Vegas:
It's your idea and I may be wrong. I like the way they do it on a motorcyle site I used to frequent. Your photo must be within 30 days and taken personally. It really forces the winner to be someone that is actively out using their car or at least taking the time to do a photo shoot. Scott is going to kick our ass every month with this concept, but it would be fun.

I just don't thinnk you are going to get much love from 90's race cars on this site.
And he's right, so let's try it again, and we'll change and grow as time goes by. I'm also considering the fact that not everyone is a professional photographer and stuff like that, that's why I'm letting anyone use an image found in the internet, sometimes they're not even close to other ones! So I don't see it as an advantage, but again, if there's anything I should change or a rule or matter to discuss, let's do it here:

I know this can grow, enjoy!

July's theme: Burnouts.

Burnouting is encourgaed by the law, and at the same time it's an awesome money waster, who doesn't love to do a burnout once in a while? And well, if you have a car with an engine powerful enough to do a cool one, why wouldn't you? Let's see your shots of a burnout!

Theme submitted by: me.

Rules:

- Picture must comply with the theme
- No Photoshops. I'm willing to accept CGs under City of the South's request, if there's a problem with it let me know.
- One entry per person. Please refrain from posting multiple images unless you’re first image doesn’t qualify.
- Picture MUST BE at least 800 x 600 pixels or something equal. For example, 850 x 650 would qualify.
- No late entries.
- Pictures with a lot of people in them may be subject to review, use your own judgement.
- Pictures that have won POTM in the past year are not allowed.

Entries must be in by: Friday, July 5th, 2011.

Reminder: you can use pictures shoot by you or others, every entry will be checked by me to make sure it fits the rules, and please try to stay in topic to avoid any kind of problems.

It's pretty sad how things turned out, I was hoping for it to went just a little better than this, I wanna say thanks to CityOfTheSouth for trying. I'm thinking about giving it a try for another month, but I'd like you guys to tell me if I should or you won't even bother, so I don't just drop another useless thread.

Bow Tie, thanks for trying, but I'm giving this another try, and if it doesn't happen what I'm expecting to, well I'm not making it again, since it's pretty pointless.
