My top two were wimag and TOTshadowcompany, but I gave it to wimag since TOT's doesn't have a barrel (which means its not fully functional, like it mentions in the rules):

It would still function. Just not very accurately. I guess by your definition they should all have tanks and hoppers too...

asking for a barrel, ASA and hoses so it will actually run isn't too much to ask, is it ?

Apparently it is.

I always got the impression that the point of the "fully functioning markers" line to keep out that class of junk that's been moded to look pretty to the point they don't actually work anymore. Like those custom cars that are so low to the ground you can't actually drive them.

Showing off a custom gun without tank, hopper, macro, or barrel is pretty common to the point where it's considered the "show setup". They're showing off the marker itself. Either way, anyone is free to vote as they please.

True, i have always considered collectibles of any kind to be in two categories; either fully functional to do the job they are designed to do, or museum show room condition and not to be used.

I remember back when I used to go to a few biker rallies every year. My dad and I would always ride there (about 6 hours) and make fun of all the trailer queens.

This last trip we trailer-ed our bikes. And let me tell you. It was great. Actually got to spend 6 hours just catching up with my dad instead of only riding next to him. It also made all the little day trips much more enjoyable.

Another thing I realized is most of those trailer queens (whether a car or bike) are extremely uncomfortable to be on for a long period of time. I guess at some point enjoyment is more important than cool points.

I won't be making fun of trailer queens anymore. They just figured it out long before I did...

Eh, yeah. We're mostly talking about a difference between functionality, not how they get from point A to point B.

**TOTShadowCompany** · 07-04-2011, 04:26 PM

Wow. I never thought a MOTM would get so technical. Spearmint congrats on being the clear winner this month...lol. Really???
