Read a bit more about Meade here.

This poll is going to be interesting. Gonna have a lot of people on the "uncool" side because Ferrari, though. Personally, I'm going to vote Sub Zero. Beautiful car is beautiful.

FTFY

I don't recall anyone voting a Ferrari uncool simply because of its marque, either.

LaFerrari springs into mind. "Modern day Ferrari is for cocky people" and that kind of stuff.

LaFerrari is the only Ferrari example polled where I can understand that sort of sentiment. Otherwise it's just a case of "supercar = uncool" as opposed to Ferrari in particular.

I just thought it was slightly odd that someone expects a far-from-modern Ferrari produced 45 years ago to get a boatload of uncool votes just because it's a Ferrari (underneath at least). Though I expect it to get plenty because it's technically a concept.

/Apologies for going somewhat off-topic
 
There will be three posts tomorrow to catch up. Then, if he's willing, I may allow @Jahgee1124 to take over for a week after that. Depending on how I'm feeling afterwards, I may not take it back.
I'm leaving town the 3rd and I'm not gonna be back until the 21st, so if you leave it to me, someone will have to post nominations during that time.

But after that I can do it
 
So when I take this over from @White & Nerdy , I'll be doing 2 nominations a day up until the 1st to try and decrease the logjam that is the nominations queue, after that @Azure Flare or whomever else would like to do it can take it over until I return from my vacation around the 20th. Unless White & Nerdy wants to take it back at any point, in which case it is his.

If White & Nerdy does permanently stop, my first plan is to introduce daily nominations and a uniform request template

Sorry for the missing third post last night. The site seems to have decided it was done cooperating, as it was loading stuff wrong and taking ages to do it.

If you guys need help, I can put up threads.
Threads aren't the problem until the 2nd, the 2nd until I get back from vacation you are welcome to put up threads at whatever rate you would like to (I trust you) until I return from my trip (I'll let you know when I get back)
 
I have no idea who's currently running the threads but could someone make a thread for the Fairlady Z I nominated? It got skipped on mistake.
