abou the featured rides..., how are they picked? Options

[droptopGT]

was just wondering is all, if this is a repost i'm sorry i searched for this type of topic but nothing came up

The management just chooses a sweet car every so often and ask them if they want to be featured and stuff.

Whether or not you have a turbo or some awesome body mods!

[gas65]

You have to have $5000 worth of mods, which is about the only thing I don't like about this site.

Some of us are happy with the way our cars came from the factory stock, so why change what we like. And if you check out all the featured rides so far, the list of mods added is longer than the list of parts I have had to replace on my stock Celica.

Maybe I should list everything I have replaced in my profile so my list is bigger and I can compete.

Well, the thing is, we wouldn't really want to put a stock Celica in there...it'd be like having a stock Civic featured in Import Tuner.

But we're working to find more realistic rides for some of the featured rides. The next car will probably be a USDM Celica with some mild tasteful mods and no turbo or anything crazy, because we've heard that people get depressed seeing all the GT-Fours as featured rides.

So 6gc.net is a tuner and mod site, and not for stock celicas? Sorry I did'nt know that.

Oh c'mon, you know what I mean. 6G Celicas is an equal-opportunity...umm...website.

[playr158]

ummm when i get my celi back from the shop i nominate mine with the silvia headlights and a few other things....that and its a 7afe

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I think it would be dissrespectful to put some ones car up there when it doesn't have much done to it when there's some other guy out there that's worked long hours and lots of money creating art out of his car. If there's ever complete restores or something else like that that take alot of effort, then I think that person should get nominated too. But I don't think someone should be aloud to buy a 6gc, put a muffler, air intake, and wheels on, and then be rated one of the top rides. You've got to put your heart into it.

[gas65]

In that case I nominate Greenzilla(as Doggy called it) for featured ride, it does'nt matter that it is'nt a 6 gen, alot of the cars here barely resemble one anymore anyways.

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

That's pushing it way to far. I by no means ment I wanted a 5th gen as a featured ride. This is 6gc, not 5gc. And so me a featured car that doesn't look like a 6gc. Besides, it looks like West Coast Customs did that car.

I hope so, I felt bad about putting that if he was serious. I just felt like it had to be said. Cars like that should be burnt at stake, or given to women to teach them how to drive. lol, all you women know that most of you can't drive.

[droptopGT]

we'll see who gets the title first danny boy!! hahahaha

[Consynx]

can we do bets?

[Batman722]

personally I don't like seeing a very modded car featured. Most of the body kits out there look just like any other kit for any other car, just that it happens to be on a celica this time. You could put a GT4 up there but this really isn't a site about GT4s. There are only 2 (I think) in the US.

But I don't think someone should be aloud to buy a 6gc, put a muffler, air intake, and wheels on, and then be rated one of the top rides.

it's not about being one of the top rated rides

you need to have a sweet car

gas65 is correct for the most part. Someone would have to spend a boatload of money to have a "sweet" ride and be chosen to be featured. It tells everyone else, "your car is not good enough or as good as theirs"

IMO each month a new featured ride should be picked from members photos. Members would only make sure they have a nice photo of their Celica. or maybe just a featured member. Give everyone a chance to get excited and be featured.

with the current standard, 95% of the members of this site will never have a their day in the sun.

I dunno, personally I've always looked to the featured ride as inspiration. Having a featured ride that is completely stock doesn't inspire me. Now I'm not saying it needs a swap or bodykit to be of interest, it could be a meticulously cared for stock looking ride with a nice set of wheels. But it needs to have something to set it apart from the majority of rides, otherwise what would we have to look up to?
