I don't know anything about cars.. so I may need help with some definitions.

Any other objections speak before 4pm..


Do you guys want to go in snake-order or straight through?

If snake-order, you need to add or remove one category to get an even number.

[TimSJ]

of course we want you to admin it!! and thanks

my vote would be for snake and maybe add back in Concept car..

what do the rest of you think?

CP Car Draft has started, see new thread for details.

[the lemming]

I don't want to mess up the official draft thread so I will ask a few clarifying questions here...

Country/Regional Categories - I'm assuming we are talking about the country in which the manufacture's head office is in. I don't think we want to see someone trying to pass off a Mexican made BMW as a North American car.

Sedan/Coupe/Convertible - If someone picked say a 2009 BMW 3-series coupe would the 2009 BMW 3-series sedan or convertible still be valid picks?

Generations - If I pick say a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan does that mean Dodge Caravans are off the board or could they pick at 2009 Dodge Caravan?

Exotic - Is there a definition for Exotic?

Man oh man, I'm feeling so unprepared. This should be interesting.

One other really dumb question... how do you imbed the pictures in your post?

Thanks

I would say yes, yes, no and no idea... you guys will have to help out and we'll figure it out as we go.

doozwimp: sorry we're full.

IMO different generations should count as different cars, just not different model years... there's a huge difference between a 1958 and a 2010.

[STeeLy]

I think Different Generations should be counted as different cars... I mean... a 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan is significantly diferrent than a 2008 model...

[GirlySports]

Ok so yes to all three of those..

what qualifies as exotic?

Probably anything that'll get picked. It's almost a wildcard.

I think the elephant test applies here...

So exotic could be anything outside of N.America, since that would technically be true? Sound good?

[the lemming]

I'm not sure that I would agree with limiting exotic to non-North American cars. I was more thinking that an exotic would be a rare, realitively limited production car that not many could afford.

[TimSJ]

^ yup there are certainly some North American exotics

So we'll keep exotic to "rare ish" cars, which includes everywhere in the world. Sounds fair.
