Congrads all its gonna be an awsome calender

[nineteen88ga]

All really great rides! Congrats to all that were chosen! i know I'll be buying one once they're available.

What would be nice for the future, is to have more of a selection of the different Generation GA's. Ofcourse thats up to the votes to decide, but maybe next time they can be broken up by gens, and have a few from each catagory chosen. Just my constructive critisism. :D

[Peyman]

when can we expect the calander to be up for sale? im ready to buy :)

[GtOfDeath]

Congrats to all that were chosen!!

[Trevlya006]

[Black99GT3]

[RyanB]

[RyanB]

... soon :)

[HighwayProwlerz]

You know a lot of the same people ended up in both calendars.... that kinda sucks. I would have rather bought both calendars and had some variety. Oh well....

I'm sorry you feel that way. Unfortunatly, that's how people voted. We can't control the voting process, ya know?

[Old Guy]

Hey....they all have the same car!! :)

[HighwayProwlerz]

Yeah, I know.

[99GrandAMSE]

ONE?! The first calendar has 'one' pre-99 and the second calendar has 'two' pre-99s ... it was a membership vote, remember :)

As mentioned above: It was a membership vote. Not a conspiracy to limit the number of previous generation Grand Ams.

It's dissapointing when many people put forth a lot of time and effort to try to do something good for the membership, only to have a select few whine and complain about this or that. It's a calendar composed entirely of member's cars, as voted by the membership. We even offered 2 different calendars. What more could you want?

I have my calendar on order. I'd like to thank Kelly for all his hard work in organizing this. I know first hand what it takes to put this sort of thing together, and I know Kelly did everything he could to keep the process fun, easy, and enjoyable for all involved. Thanks buddy!!! :thumbup2: To those that took the time to submit your cars: THANK YOU. We would not have a calendar to sell if noone submitted any photos. Finally, thanks to all that voted. We know it was a tough decision, but I myself am very pleased with the results.

:thanks:

[crazeyGT]

Oh sweet, I am so buying like 2/3 of those :D

[Silver99SE]

Ya I'm definitely gonna have mine before the first of the year.

[Gimli]

Bleh, who chose the two GAs on the cover of calendar #1? :D

For those who complain if you want more pre-99 GAs next year then take more and better pictures of your pre-99 GAs.

Thanks a lot Kelly and Shawn for setting this up. I'm kinda sad I wasn't chosen but that'll just give me a kick in the butt to go out and take better pics next year. Won't keep me from buying a few of this year's though ;)

I agree on both comments! I personally wanted to vote for an equal number of post and pre 99s, but the choices weren't there.

Great job putting the Calendars together guys!! :thumbup2:

[sunrunner_pei]

I can't take any credit for the calendars. I have almost nothing to do with them. :) The thanks goes to Kelly, MysteriousGT, and the people that submitted and voted.

[HighwayProwlerz]

I love how you guys put together two calendars! That's terrific. That way everyone got their pictures in a calendar. That's so cool. I will be purchasing one on payday for sure. :) Thanks again for putting this together.

[99GrandAMSE]

:) ... glad to do this, I had fun!!

Anyway, just in case you haven't noticed, Calendar #1 is obviously the winners, #1 through #12, with the Cover being Shawn and my cars ... Calendar #2 is the extra Calendar we made so the runner-ups, #13 through #24, would also get the joy of seeing their car on 'the wall' but did anyone really look close at the Cover for the Calendar #2 :lol: ... well, if you didn't, take a gander as it is all the remaining cars who submitted pictures and were not amongst the top 24 votes ... I thought this was a cool way to make every happy ... for the record, there are 39 cars on the Cover :lol:

Here is a resized picture of the Calendar #2 Cover ...

[HighwayProwlerz]

I noticed that!! I could just BARELY see the picture of my car in that tiny pic. I thought that was very awesome.

[99GrandAMSE]

... a 'couple' of extra Calendars have been added :lol:

[urweak]

lol, i wasnt trying to rase a stink about it, i was just hoping for balance. I sure am not losing sleep over it.

[EKling]

THERES MY CAR!!! Thanks man. :) Atleast im on the calender some how.

That was the whole idea :)

[RedFireUFO]

the photos arent' showing up for me but I am sure it will be great either way, that's why I stuck around after buying my civic, the people on this forum are plain awesome, the cars are just a bonus.
ok I am done. thank you thank you :P

[Peyman]

How is the quality?!

[Chain]

Wow now I see what you did. I have been trying to figure out which one I wanted or if they were the same or differant covers. Or if I was just having a flash back. I think I have it figured out now.

Awsome job guys.

[Peyman]

hmm...quality wise, its alright, its not bad...nor good...its alright, some of the pics....the colors on the cars didnt come out like they should have....but for the most part, im happy w/ it....THANKS! :)

[99GrandAMSE]

OK ... I was wondering as I didn't have time to order one and have it shipped to me prior to releasing them ... mine will be here soon (I hope) and I will have to evaluate it for myself ... the quality of the pictures is something that I can change for next year ... live and learn, I suppose ... as long as you're happy and don't think you got 'ripped off', I am content and will make the Calendar BETTER next year :)

[Peyman]

i dont feel ripped off at all.....great for the price....thanks again

[crazeyGT]

I just got home and took a look at the one I send to my dad, and I like it, I think it came out pretty good so I will order mine sometime soon :D

[sunrunner_pei]

:thumbup2:

Thanks Marta!
