Gauging Interest: 2010 Second Gen Calendar
 
Hey guys -

First, let me give you some background information on me.

My name is Chris Glog, from NY. I drive an 84 GS, stock. I reshot the body a Land Rover orange roughly 2 years ago. I used to work at a print shop and started going to college for print. I realized it was way too expensive, so now I attend college for Heating and Air Conditioning. I still occasionally work for the print shop, where I got the 2009 First Generation Calendars printed at last year.

Now to the fun stuff;

I put on the 2009 Calendar for the first generation guys last year. It was a huge success and everybody loved them. The price was $15.

The link to the 2009 Calendar thread is in my signature.

So what do you guys think? Is anyone down for a second generation calendar?

Thanks,
Chris

{Mods, please let me know if this thread is okay, thanks}

I personally would love it. I would love it even more if we got our own second gen members cars in the calender.

chris_g 02-02-09 12:44 PM

Thats exactly what it will be; RX7club.com Second Generation Owners Calendar.

If there is enough interest, which I am sure there will be, people can submit their car[s] picture[s] to me, I will host it on my site, with some sort of voting system.

Last years 2009 calendar I had a little less than what I wanted, but it was the first time someone pulled through with it. There wasn't a voting system on 2009's simple because I used the highest resolution so it would come out clear.

Id take one for sure!!

1SWEET7 02-02-09 01:18 PM

I would love one. Is it going to be glossy?

ecko 02-02-09 01:53 PM

sounds good i would get one.

Rob XX 7 02-02-09 02:32 PM

sounds like a good idea, but a voting system will mean everyone will just keep voting for thier own car- thats what happens at the car shows around here, people get some kind of satisfaction for not legitimatly winning something but rather rigging the win.

chris_g 02-02-09 04:06 PM

@Rob: I still have a while to work on this. I'm beginning to program small things and am in touch with a big programmer currently to help do this. It will track via cookies and IP Address.

@Red: It is 100# Glossy paper. It's nice because once the month is over, you can rip off the top and hang it.

i would probably get one...as long as there weren't a bunch of riced out/busted fc's on it

Rob XX 7 02-02-09 04:17 PM

im sure with the entries you get you could always use some for the following year calender as well.

t24todd 02-02-09 04:49 PM

i would be down. . . you should print the top 12 for each month and do like the cover of all the cars sumbmitted so everyone has a little picof their car. win/win. ill submit mine but its not a monster like some others are. broke college kid

chris_g 02-02-09 06:14 PM

When it comes time for the actual design (mid october I started last year but I finished mid November to get all submissions), I will be discussing format, layout and cover image.

I want to build another site with car of the month, member, etc and get users very involved. I have yet to do this, but I did start.

Saavedro88 02-02-09 06:20 PM

Not just yes, but HELL YEAH!!:ylsuper:

boostedfc3s 02-02-09 06:53 PM

I'm in. I will buy one for sure.

Just don't ask for money in this thread, and it should be fine.

And as far as my vote, I'd say hell yes a 2nd gen calendar would be cool, but I would prefer that at least half of the content be of stock looking cars... if it is just a bunch of tuner cars, it might as well be a Honda street tuner mag.

fc3c69 02-02-09 07:07 PM

hell yeah i'm in! i bought a couple of the first gen calenders and they came out great!

Boosted11 02-02-09 07:34 PM

I would be in, would be friggen wicked! Except I would want 50% of the pics with models posing on top of the cars. :icon_tup:

The ultimate would be pics from this thread, on a calendar. Except it would require a decent amount of work getting the girls's consent and drivers's consent.

This thread should be stickied to get a high rate of attention. Just in case it gets lifted, subscribed!

RB_eater 02-02-09 09:58 PM

I would be in too. As far as preferences go I think clean FC's would look best.

demontwig 02-03-09 03:04 PM

:icon_tup: I'm definitely in

JerryLH3 02-03-09 03:34 PM

I'd get one. As a matter of fact I'm PMing you about availability of the 2009 calendar.

I'd prefer mostly stock looking cars, as I am also not a fan of huge bodykits. Not sure what's in the 2009 calendar, as links seem to be broken, but action shots of driving down the road or autocrossing would be awesome.

Hypertek 02-03-09 03:39 PM

imma guess its gonna be all the same stock looking fcs?
since the general conscious of this forum is towards that lmao

Rob XX 7 02-03-09 03:43 PM

all stock FCs would be super dull

drifter FCs with crap hanging off them and zip tied bumpers is even worse

WingsofWar 02-03-09 04:12 PM

Id say a good mix of tuned and stock cars in the calendar would be pretty awesome.

I say we have an official Voting thread on cars that get to be in the calender...OoOoo id definitely buy.

Hypertek 02-03-09 04:32 PM

just a suggestion it should be with iconic fcs
fcs that are not just forum fanbased, but have some sort of historics or are icons in the tuning scene.

just an idea, of course you would need all new pics, unless you can get permission from those people.

Its gotta have exciting cars!!! make it exciting!!

Rob XX 7 02-03-09 04:52 PM

how about you have to own the car?
just saying I would rather see home town cars then cars that have been all over the internet for years and years that came out of shops
