Get your 2013 revlimiter.net Calendars here! (http://www.zazzle.com/revlimiter)

There's two calendars - The Photo Cover Version and the Logo Cover Version. Each calendar has its own theme. The photo cover version has cars parked and posing. The logo cover version has more track cars.

Zazzle has a ton of coupons. I used code CALENDARTIME to get my test print calendars for 25% off. This code will work until 11/27/12. Current zazzle coupons are all listed here. (http://www.zazzle.com/coupons)

Looks like my roommate's broken camera is better than my working one. Guess I'll be using that to try and get a decent picture for this.

One more week to get photos in! 7 more days. Not much time.

So far, there's juuust enough to put together one decent calendar. Not enough quality submissions to make two. Hell, there's not enough SUBMISSIONS to make 2. There's not that many pix in my inbox.

While I'm not overly surprised at the level of quality of the pictures you're receiving. I mean shit, you should see the "Best Buy special" point and shoot I used for my submission.
And not to say you're not getting good pictures. There's plenty of people who know what they're doing with a camera, and have a decent SLR, and happen to own a Miata.

But to say, not even enough for two calendars?! I'm stunned that you haven't gotten hundreds of pictures from every last person trying to get their car on this calendar.

I've received some stunning photos. Seriously amazing stuff. But I've also received a few... non-stunning ones. I don't wanna speak ill of anyone's photography.

Submitted my pic. Here's a smaller version that I edited (a bit of selective blur, desaturation, and vignetting), but I sent the original unedited version to Adam. If he likes it I'm sure he can tweak it better than I have.

I've picked a bunch of winners. 22 of them! There will be 2 different calendars to pick from this year.

I'm emailing folks to clear up username/name choices now. Don't worry if you don't get an email. Many folks were very clear in telling me what name to put on the calendar.

^ I chose a lot of mostly-stock cars. The state of modification wasn't the selling point to me, it was whether or not the photo was good. Good colors, nice framing, pretty setting >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> mods.

Got everything finalized. I should get my sample calendars ordered by tonight. Then I just have to wait for them to arrive so I can color correct and then share links with everyone.

Well, I was all set to feel good about myself and proudly post how I'd uploaded everything to cafepress last night (took nearly 2 hours thanks to their worthless website logging me out every 5 minutes), but life is never that easy. I got everything up, ordered the two test calendars, and then got an email a few minutes ago that some of my images "might violate copyright and have been removed."

UGH.

So... I'm assuming that I won't be able to get them back or use cafepress this year. I'm now looking at different options. Zazzle and lulu seem to have decent reviews. The redbubble calendar looks nice too, but is more expensive. And I could do a local printing and just mail these myself.

Whatever happens, I'll keep at it. I hope to have this squared away this week.

Its not so much a lack of mods as it is an abundance of dents and bad paint. :P

I just spammed the hell out of my calendar email account. Everyone who sent a pic should have something from me in their inbox. :)

Also, CafePress lifted the hold on the two pix. I tried ordering test calendars again. While I wait for them to either arrive out get canceled, I'll also set up another service or two.

I ran into something similar with CapitalOne when they had the "Design your own credit card" stuff back in the day... With putting a picture of MY car on it, they said that it was copyrighted because the image of the vehicle? Maybe?

Okay. Got my fingers crossed that Cafepress will actually sell these...

Get your 2013 revlimiter.net Calendars here! (http://www.cafepress.com/revlimitercalendar)

There's two calendars - The Photo Cover Version (http://www.cafepress.com/revlimitercalendar.702192577) and the Logo Cover Version (http://www.cafepress.com/revlimitercalendar.702507923). Each calendar has its own theme. The photo cover version has cars parked and posing. The logo cover version has more track cars.

The user interface on cafepress sucks worse and worse each year. This time, they've taken away the individual month views on the main product page. To see the cars in each calendar, click the red View Calendar Pages link and you get a popup.

To get a calendar that starts in January, you'll have to use the Starting Month drop box. It defaults to the current month (October at the time of this posting) rather than January 2013 which would make more sense.

Try not to buy anything from cafepress without a coupon. There's ALWAYS tons of coupons scattered around the web. Couponchief (http://www.couponchief.com/cafepress) always has some working ones.

And that's it! I'll get some pix of my test calendars up shortly.

The good news: I already made Zazzle-sized templates for all the pix. I also got them uploaded and sorted into calendars. And as the cherry on top, Zazzle was a TON easier to use. I'm confident this one will work.

The bad news: The stuff will take about 24 hours to appear.
