Anyway I really dont't think my car should be considered because there are alot of better cars. I am surprised none of the olde members cars have not been posted. Derreck's cars is a must, Dion's car is a must. The twins SVT's are a must. These people broke the threshold in regards to making the contour look good. All the rest followed. Others to add as well:
Pascal, ST PETE, Bernie, Roger R, Eric L, Milan, JVT and TRed SVT. There are alot of other cars as well but I can't remember. Hell I think if you put time and love into your ride we all should be in the calander. 
You suggested some really nice cars, but YOU have GOT to have YOURS in the calender.

Warning - this may sound harsh. I'm all for having pics of modded and unmodded 'tours or 'tiques in this calendar. BUT... I don't want a calendar full of contour pics and crap for a background. If you're gonna post (and you're serious about getting the picture in the calendar) please post pics that don't have crap for a background. Honestly, who wants to see an awesome lookin' Contour with Joe Schmo walking around in the background? Not me. Backgrounds that I think are cool: 'tours, 'tiques, racetracks, barns, mountains, bridges, rivers, etc. Backgrounds that I don't think are cool: the appartment, the house that the car belongs to  , WAL-MART, etc. So, some of the folks here need brush up on the background-selection skills and re-post away!

I agree totally.
but it'd also suck if everyone posted pics of their cars with only nature backgrounds.
also cool ones are construction sites, industrial scenes, urban scenes, etc. even in financial districts next to some great architecture.

good call.
Nothing against the people or their cars...I just want to see something in the background other than the person's house and their neighbor's car!

Amen!!
Matt, if you need help deciding, I think I have a pretty good eye for good photo skills. Maybe someone can volunteer to do some touchup if need be also? You know get rid of signs, extra un-important crap and still make the pics look good.
I have tons more in my sig, these are a few of my favorites, plus a few that have already been posted, which I have the originals from.
I would also think it would be cool to list the photographer and who's car is in each pic. Not stats, just a name an maybe a location of picture or your hometonw (ma be one in teh same)
Thats my $.02, and now some pics! The full 2272x1704 are in my sig if I only post the small size. 2272x1704 is WAY to big to post here!
