Original post follows below:

Welcome to our first grassroots ROTM challenge. This is the first in what we hope are many challenges that will be run by the members.
  • Rules of the Month:
    • One personally taken picture of your R at least 100 miles or 1 hour from home and tell us where it was taken.
    • A write up of why your R should be considered as ROTM can be added with your picture or later on In this thread (e.g. In keeping with the theme, years owned, modifications, etc.)
    • Entries are limited to new potential winners only. No previous ROTM winners this month please.
  • Solicitation of votes should be done in this thread
  • A first place tie will be resolved by coin flip witnessed by another fanatic (in person or virtually).
  • Basic Rules:
    • Members MUST have at least 20 posts.
    • Voting will take place towards the end of the month.
  • If you should win:
    • You are responsible for setting the ”Rules of the Month” for the following month - Please keep it simple and open to any fanatic.
    • If the “rules of the month” aren’t chosen within a week of when you win, they will be chosen by another member (e.g. active fanatic, or a previous winner, etc) so we can setup the thread for the next month. I'll reach out to the winner via a Conversation, so that I can setup the following month.
    • If you've won, you cannot enter that R for the rest of the year (at least, it depends upon the Rules of the Month); however, if you have a second SSR that meets the criteria, you can enter that R.
  • What do you “win”?
    • Bragging rights - For example: My SSR was ROTM - April 2023
    • Badge on your profile. - Thank you @Marc NY
    • Most importantly - Seeing others Rs, what they’ve done with them, showing your own and the camaraderie we experience as being a member of this forum

Example for this month:
<I have no idea what happened to the picture, as it is still attached but no longer shows up>
Tire Automotive parking light Wheel Car Land vehicle

This picture was taken on our first trip to Stonehenge a number of years ago in Ingram, Texas. It was a great trip with what became our favorite traveling partners and likely where the phrase, "Follow the red truck" was coined.

Thank you sir, that covers the once a year per R part.

Clarification please. Previous winners, is that per person or per vehicle?
Thank you for the question. I think the @Stlhotrod the general intent of once a year. Further we are trying to get new folks involved this month, hence in the >>>highlighted<<< part below:

I was trying to keep it simple and get some of the new folks involved. If previous winners enter "regularly" or on a revolving basis, it kind of clobbers those that may be hesitant or have less customized rides, etc.

P.S. I'm not "the government", or anything close. Sorry if it felt that way. I'm just one of the guys that am trying to keep it simple and keep it going. I copied & pasted some of the "usual rules" and added the "rules of the month" with a theme of one picture away from home and open it up to someone new. The new winner can choose a different theme.

Hello All
It has been brought to my attention that I may have violated the rules for this contest.
Back in May of 2017 my SSR won the old ROTM contest, I missed the rule that said you could not have been a past ROTM winner, and only caught the part that states you could not have won in the past year.

So please disregard my photos and vote for the others.

Sorry for the confusion on my part.

Maybe the Themes can change but the rules remain the same for future ROTM's.

Good luck to all who have entered, may the best Photo win.
Thank you sir. I’m working to see if the poll can be updated to reflect your withdrawal. If it cannot be done easily, we’ll let the poll continue and disregard the votes for your R.

If you have voted for shakatak, please update your vote to one of the other entries.

Everyone that has voted can change their vote up until the poll closes.

Sorry for the confusion.

Update: shakatak has been removed from the poll. Anyone that had voted for shakatak's R will have to vote again.

Again, sorry for the confusion.
