BTW Tim.... there is another SUPER easy way to do this..given MT has the software. I have seen many of these type voting deals where all the pics were posted in a gallery on a forum and there was a way to click on multiple pictures to vote for them. Maybe one of the admins can chome in on this feature.
I just think it would be easier to take picture submissions for like two months and then another month for voting.

Hell, it looks like he hit his dog with that fender.
But I digress...
I'd like to see M2CUPCAR's beautiful car on the cover with the tree on top of it, much like the picture his avatar is taken from. It honors the spirit of the Miataturbo.net culture without taking itself too seriously. And it was a great car...

I propose adding some smaller detail/varied shots of each car, maybe inset at the perimeter (sides, bottom or top) of the car featured for each month. There's a lot of nice stuff going on under the hoods and in the cockpit of some of the cars where we'd only see the exterior. And if mine makes the calendar it would be a great opp to place the tree photo.

Smaller thumbnails of manifolds, turbos, exhausts, suspension, interiors, etc, would be ****.

I like that idea, and I was going to tell you you should submit the one of it under the tree.

another suggestion
A pool of skilled photoshop users to do the final production on these images would be beneficial. To what degree of PS embellishment is up to the masses I suppose, but let's face it, the more flamboyant the better.
For example- before:

Best strategy for post processing is to start with a single image and make a set of styled steps to arrive at the final piece. Once that's agreed upon then those steps could be applied to the other images.

I was in it before photoshop- so that helps. 
IMO Gimp is the best thing going- open source image editor and can certainly achieve all the results above- and more.
he means the hummer did the fender rolling, not the pitbull
