Is it fine if I add another nomination even though the Cosmo is in the queue? I was not really sure about this.

No, you have to wait for the Cosmo to go up since that was a non-Thanksgiving Special (or a "real," if you will) nomination.

I'll make my predictions now. A lot of Sub-zero & cool votes, but I'm sure some people will vote lower that for a reason that I can't think of at the moment.

There's a possible Ice-Box, very improbable McQueen's. Most likely high Sub-Zero.

I was originally going to turn the polling frequency down to one every other day after the Thanksgiving Special nominations are done, but it looks like we're getting a lot of new people nominating and the number of nominations in the queue has only decreased by about 10. This means I might need to stay with two every other day. Is everyone okay with this or is two every other day too much? I haven't been hearing (or reading, rather) many complaints lately.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Isn't one every day and two every other day the same rate? I'll assume you meant one every other day.

Umm... Two every other day is fine with me, but personally I think it's better if it's left at one every other day just so as to avoid the risk of it filling up cars in general.

 

[ToyGTone]

How about stopping stopping people from nominate Cars until only 10 or something like that left for Nomination Queue?

about 1 cars every day, i''m not really sure about what should you do so i'll leave it to the others who had much more knowledge

Because once Nominations get reopened, the problem replicates itself, just let it sort itself out, and people can just deal with the long wait for their cars being polled

Honda Accord Type R
View attachment 264009​

Honda Accord Type R, 1998-2003
Body Style: Four door saloon
Engine: 2157cc straight four with variable valve timing
Power Output: 209hp
Torque: 164lbfft
Weight: 1,348kg
Transmission: 5 speed manual
Drivetrain: Front engine, front wheel drive
Additional Information: The sensible, grown-up car of the Type R family, the Honda Accord Type R is the most unusual thing - a Japanese car that was never sold in Japan. Designed and built in the UK by Honda at Swindon, the Accord Type R used the European market Accord chassis and a considerably larger 2.2 litre engine than its more buzzy and frantic Civic and Integra siblings to produce a performance sedan still sought after today.

The Accord Type R also had a dose of F1 heritage. While Ayrton Senna was busy being responsible for how the NSX handled, Williams-Honda world champion Damon Hill had a finger in the ATR's behaviour. "It's quite good", he was heard to enthuse once - and he kept his personal Type R for over a decade.

And the one in the photographs? That was ours.

I was going to nominate the Pagoda SL, but @GTP_Ingram already beat me to it. Curse you! So instead, I'll do:

1956-1959 BMW 507

Body Style: 2 door convertible
Engine: 3168cc V8
Power Output: 148 HP
Torque: 173 lb-ft
Weight: 1330 kg/2930 lb
Transmission: 4 speed manual
Drivetrain: Front engine, rear wheel drive
Additional Information: Car was a commercial flop due to how expensive it was when new. Despite the price, BMW lost money on each one made, so much so that it nearly took the company to bankruptcy. Bond Girl Ursula Andress owned one. So did Elvis Presley.​

My first nomination; I wasn't too sure how to approach the fact this car has had 13 different engines and 6 different transmissions during its production run thus far, so I only included the ones still in production. Let me know if there's anything else I should add.

You should add the G65. Because 3 ton truck with stupid powerful twin turbo V12. 603 hp and 738 lb-ft to be precise. Also, I've heard it offers a diesel six in Europe.
