I've had no luck finding a feature car for June. Why did this seem easier when we only had 500 members? Now that we have over 4000 it's like pulling hens teeth to get folks to allow their car to be featured. We may have to start going to a 3 month cycle on the feature cars. This would obviously kill doing the calendars next year. So, having said that if you would be willing to have your car featured for June, please let me know ASAP.
There may be 4000 members, but there isn't the traffic on this site as there once was. That's probably the reason for the hard time finding feature cars.

My traffic numbers haven't changed (they change seasonally but not any different than the past).

What about alternating months of a work in progress, with a finished car. It might encourage a few procrastinators to get out to the garage. (Yes, life and injuries do get in the way, but some of us just need a kick in the diff.)

My car will finally be worked on in spring 2018 ... when I retire, and hopefully I am still able-bodied (I'll be 57).

I might have something to show off for July....BUT.. it is an american built.. american powered Pontiac !
I'm kind of in the same situation. Mine is also American built with an American engine. I also don't feel it's nice enough to even think about asking for it to be a feature car, especially with all the really sweet Canadian built cars on this site.

Mine is stuck in the middle, American Car with a Canadian engine, LOL. I do like carl's adea of having Pontiac owned by Canadians featured.
I would not want to see an American Pontiac as a feature car on a CANADIAN PONTIAC website ... it defeats the whole purpose of the website. If I want to see American Pontiacs, I can go to another website!

There we go. All it took was one vote against for me to say for sure, I will never ask for my car to be featured.

Well Ken maybe we are not wanted here with our American stuff, LOL. BUT we are Canadian.

Yeah, I really don't want to think that. Rick, but I can't help but to think it just a bit.

I agree with Darryl. This website is unique, as are Canadian Pontiacs, and although I understand the difficulty of finding one to feature each month, I believe it would be better to extend the timeframe (e.g. quarterly) or alternate finished cars with in-process cars.
