Got mine today and it is hanging on the wall as I type. The July Carlisle pic made me want to kick myself for not making it to the shoot for the second year in a row.

I think that my car should be in the center for the '09 TMI group pic.

Tell you what David...if you make it out this year, you have my permission to park right in the middle
Well...whatever my permission is worth anyway

If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

Uhh, I got mine in the mail today and just realized something. My car is may, and it has my name on it, my car is not April, however, it has my name on it.
Also, some of the pictures don't look very clear and have light vertical lines near the sides.

Is that what those were for? I usually ignore you when you PM me... oh well, my loss I suppose. I'll have to pick one up on Tuesday when I get paid!

Some of the pictures just look off in color. Some are sharper than others. Like Trin's pic of her car is sharp, but the the 2GN meet pic that she also took isn't as sharp. I'm going to wait to see if they correct the name on your car, theTeejmiester before I exchange mine.

It should be fixed now. I told Jason about it, and he said he fixed it immediately.

Mine looks okay (colors, lines, etc. mentioned above). I'm just happy to have a Neon calendar and that I could contribute funds to help Jason keep this place running. Oh, late congrats to all who made the calendar!

Wow they're fast. They're already sending me two replacements. And they said to just discard the ones I already got so I don't have to pay shipping to send them back. Sweet!

the group pic is a different lens... different lighting. and if it got cropped any or processed before going into the calendar.. it probably degraded the quality even further than it was before.
oh and next year... I dont care how "colour" organized we are... my boys go next to eachother lol
and gramps is in the middle lol

^^Aw, you're sweet about letting me be in the middle but I'll park anywhere I'm told to- just so long as I make it this next time!

I do like the cars being arranged by color though.

I think that was my D80 and 12-24.
hence... everything in one shot.
I think ive got a better idea for this year.... so you can see all of the cars a bit better.

Nice, I will have to get one soon... my wife asked me if I submitted, and I said no - she asked me why which is really wierd since she hates my car sometimes.
