While we all want this calender to look good, I kinda think you're taking it TOO seriously...how does everyone else feel?
Herc and I came up with the rules that are posted. The rules are crystal clear and as I posted in the rules, no gray areas.
I don't think I'm the one who is killing it. I think it's being killed by those who seem to want to make every attempt to not follow the rules, and the gallery that's cheering him on to not follow the rules. I've been in discussion with 01GT and he knows exactly what my thoughts are on his pics and how I would improve on them.
I'm not making up the rules as I go, they are posted and will be followed to the letter. There is a rule in place that states no partial pic. Some seem to think that means 98% of the pic is okay. It is not. 99.99% of the pic is not okay. 100% and only 100% of the pic is acceptable.
I really don't understand what is so hard about following some simple rules.
Ganging up on me about some broken rules will not get anyone anywhere. This is a level playing field. Everyone will follow the same set of rules. There will be no exceptions.
So far there have been two fine examples of what we're looking for.
I would suggest everyone go back and carefully read the rules that are in place. They are crystal clear, black and white. Please do not try to create any gray areas.
If you have any questions about a pic you're wanting to submit, feel free to ask for mine and/or Herc's ruling and be prepared to accept our ruling as it is. Herc and I will have the same ruling on the issue so it doesn't matter who you ask. If one of us is having a hard time coming to a conclusion with your issue, we'll contact the other and if necessary we will bring in a third party and put it to a vote between the three of us, just be prepared to accept the ruling as it is. [/b]First off, Austin, please understand I'm not trying to cause trouble. That's not at all my purpose here. I just want to voice my opinion, that's all. It just seems to me that you really don't care what we have to say. There's no way we could voice opinions, and have the rules edited? From the link northtnguy posted, the Porsche is an example of what I mean. That is a bad*** pic, and it definitely worth of a calendar. Why does it have to be 100% of the car, if you can get a calendar worthy pic of part of it? Again, I'm not trying to cause trouble. I want this calendar to be awesome. But it just seems like it's overly strict, and not fun. Everything anyone says you shoot down.

this calender thing seem like it was going to be cool. But all it's doing is causing trouble, and bad vides. we might as well be clubgp. Sorry to say I won't be apart of the calender. My .04cents.

What I care about are that the rules are followed, to the letter. That is the purpose of having them. Yes you can voice your opinion about what you disagree with about the rules, just don't expect to have the rules changed just because you're not happy with one of them. As I've said before, These are the rules that Herc and I came up with and we both agreed upon them and they have been set in place and if you want to submit a pic to be voted on, you must follow the rules just like everyone else who will be submitting a pic. There have been two fine examples of pics to be submitted. Neither one of those people had any problems what so ever following the rules. What kind of a disservice do you think I would be providing to someone who follows the rules if I allow someone else to not follow the rules?

But when it comes to partials sorry it's not going to change. This is the last time myself and Bobby are going to address this rule. Those that have a problem with it you have two choices. Suck it up and abide by it or don't participate. We have a small committee to run this endeavor if everyone is involved nothing would get done because 100 different people have 100 different ideas and things just get bogged down.

okay so maybe i'm just an idiot but i can't find the second wrong picture... the 911 is a partial but maybe the first with having the jet in the picture is wrong or the last one looks a lil photoshopped with the side scene maybe

Come one guys ... quit giving Herc and Austin grief about the rules. When you sit down and really think about it, there aren't that many rules that you have to follow. Have fun with your photo shoots!  That's what it's all about. Go to a park or a deserted road, find a good spot and use your imagination ... don't have any other cars in your pictures ... you're wanting to make your car the 'star' of the pic. If you want a pic of the back of your car, take off your rear license plate, if you want a pic of the front of your car, take off the front license plate (if your car has one) ... what's complicated about that??  You've got all angles that you can shoot your car from ... high, low, eye level ... get down low and get some shots ... take a step ladder with you and get up high ...use your imagination, but have fun while you do it! Rules? Yeah, there's a few rules you'll have to follow, but not that many! Y'all have the easy part to do. Can you imagine how much work Herc and Austin are gonna have creating this project for you? They're the ones that are going to put it all together after the votes are in.

wait, I thought partial pics meant that if your taking a side or front/side shot of the car then it couldn't be cut off? But does this mean that you can't take a pic of just the front? like this... (except for the license plate, I understand that bit)

like this... (except for the license plate, I understand that bit) I think that picture would probably work ... all of your car is in the frame. (But I'm not Herc or Austin, they have the final rule on this.) I think the rules say "No partial pics of your car". To me, that would mean exactly what it says ... just part of the car in the frame is a no-no. Now, if you had been so close to the car in your pic that you cut off part of the tire, that would be a no-no ... that would be a partial pic.

I do have a problem with the "Boost gets you laid" decal on the front windshield, and I can almost promise you that Brian would not allow it.
You'll have to get an angle where the decal does not show.
Rule number 5 has now been updated to not allow the display of any sexually suggestive material.
