2013 revlimiter.net Driver's Calendar(s)
 

I asked Brainy about this and he gave me the go ahead. So here goes.

Cliff notes: I've either made or been involved in the making of the CR calendars for the last 3 years. I'm not a mod over there anymore, so the calendar doesn't have to be all CR cars anymore. I'm making it myself with my site as the sponsor. MT has never had a calendar and I think that's something in need of fixing, so I'm asking for photo submissions from y'all.


Here's what I've posted on other Miata boards.





If you read all of that, you'll notice I talked about making two calendars if I get enough submissions. Hell, I'd not mind doing three (not much more work than one). I'd love it if one of those calendars could be filled with all track cars. Cars from MT.

And again, I'm not looking to make much or any profit doing this. The benefit to me will be calendars in my offices and having my site logo on each one. That's it.

So hit me up with pix of your cars! Let me make a Miata calendar for this site that's given me so much awesome technical info.

Let the photoshoots begin! Hopefully I will have time to get some nice shots before then.

Oh boy, telling photoshoot whores they can only "submit 1" is like having them decide which of their children to keep alive and which to kill:giggle:

sent

Everyone knows which photo they think is the best. The difficult thing is telling others which one that is. Most don't have that much faith in their own judgement.

And yay, submissions! Thanks.

Weekend bump!

One more week left for photo submissions. Many thanks to the MT folks who have sent pix so far!

One more week? :sad2:

I am going to the dragon october 10th i was hoping to get a cool picture from then.

Oh well, i'll find another.

Is this site going to have it's own calendar, or mixed with all the submissions?

I don't have enough submissions to do more than one calendar currently. And, as far as I know, only 2 MT folks have submitted anything. So... no, no separate Track Car Calendar. Unless about 20 folks get busy and send me some pix.

And, as I've said on other sites, it doesn't have to be a NEW photo. It just has to be a Miata that you own.

I sent one in earlier today! Its not the greatest pic, but its the best I have of my car. Plus it has another members car peeking in the corner.

Just sent https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1348769681

Sent my picture.

Same one as last year on roadclubster.

I didn't like that people voted on those, it just made it a popularity contest.

Might send a blah one in this weekend if I don't have time for a new shoot.

There WILL be 2 calendars this year. Unfortunately, there won't be a "track car only" calendar. I got 5 submissions that could be considered track cars. Not enough for a whole calendar.

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.

Could a mod edit the first post to show that submissions are closed? Just delete the calendar email address maybe?

How long until you decide which ones made the cut?

Alas, perhaps next year. My car is just too ugly to be on a calender. I'm painting it this year, along with a 1.8 swap and new turbo setup. I live in Taos, so maybe we can get together for some pics rev ;) I'd love to see your car in person.

Sux I missed it but I just didn't have any shots worthwhile and I didn't get the time. Next year

Oh, I decided yesterday. I photoshopped everything and put it in the template. I'll upload them today and order proof calendars. Then once I get them, I'll color-correct and re-upload and share the links with everyone.

And yes, you made the calendar. :)


That would be cool! I enjoy a good Miata gathering. I'm up for it nearly any time. Just has to be a time when orders and family allow. :)

Next year indeed! I hope to keep doing these. This year was so SO much easier than previous years. Not having the voting popularity contest to suck a couple weeks of my life away was the best thing ever. Unfortunately, people just have me to hate on if/when their cars didn't make it...

:yippee:

Cafepress just gave me the middle finger.

I got everything uploaded last night and ordered the test calendars. Then, a few minutes ago, I got an email saying 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.

I'm no expert on copyright law, but what made them say that? Even if you had a company shoot the photo for you, if you purchased that from them it should be yours (no watermark or anything), so unless you signed an agreement to notify them if it was published it shouldn't violate copyright law. Seems pretty weird to me. Did you submit images with watermarks on them?

Good luck with the other places - I've heard great things about redbubble, and thanks for persevering!

Each image has my site logo in the top corner. It's no different than the CR calendars from the past two years, it just happens to be the logo for a business I own this time rather than a site I used to "work for." The flagged images were both the January photos, so I assume it was just the first ones they saw.

I really hate cafepress. Probably for the best to not use them.

Well that's a crummy deal.

I mean, i can understand why they wouldn't publish pure sex. :)

Why don't you go to a local print shop? Oh, right, that would make sense.

I don't want to have boxes of calendars left over. I also don't want to ship them myself.

so your lame-ass calender isn't going to get off the ground because you are lazy, congrats.

hey, now he sounds like the Brain!

I can second that^^

At least rev responds to emails / pm's. Unlike brain who can't return a simple PM which takes little to no effort at all.

what?! lies.

Lol :)

That is why important people like me have his phone number

I pm'd brain about a MS. He never responded. I ended up deciding not to boost my miata and bought an FD instead. True Story

Have him build an ms for the fd

Got to run the PowerFC to run the sequential turbos unless Scott fabricates me a badass GT35R turbo kit in addition to the MS.

I think you should PM him about it, he's got connections all over the world.

You think he will notice me?

He should an if he doesn't, send me a pm and I'll call him really late at night to remind him for the next day

Don't lie to yourself, it's for sexual relations. :giggle:

It is now available!!! They are currently sold by Cafepress. That might change if they lock me out again.

There's two calendars. Most folks from MT will probably want the Logo Cover version. It 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 always has some working ones.

Thanks for the updated first post Brain!

Awww yeahh!!:party:

Ordered, thanks - they both looked like they turned out well :)

CART1016 is today's coupon code to save 20%. It worked for me. The code format seems to be CARTmmdd where mm is the month and dd is the day.

Worked for me as well. Basically equates to free shipping if you purchase 2 calendars (which is what I did).

For what it's worth, using IE9.0, both calendar image links redirect me back to "http://www.cafepress.com/revlimitercalendar". If I right-click and copy the shortcut from the calendar image, it does show up as "http://www.cafepress.com/revlimitercalendar.702507923" but that just goes right back to "http://www.cafepress.com/revlimitercalendar".

Use Chrome like a normal person?

Cafepress shit the bed again. They decided my images violate the copyright held by whoever revlimiter.net is. They're not allowing any of my stuff to be sold. I'm pretty fucking fed up with them.

Setting up another supplier right now.

Wait. So will my order by honored? I got a confirmation email from them and everything, so I assume they are going to honor it. Pretty crappy situation.... I'll be pretty upset if they don't ship them lol

same here

Cafepress will probably cancel your order and refund your money. There's a slim chance it might have gone through, but I'd not count on it. I've done this dance before. They also sent me a confirmation of my order. They'll likely follow it up with a cancellation in a day or two.

I'm really sorry about this. I should have seen the writing on the wall when I was having problems just getting test calendars done. UGH.

I've got everything setup at Zazzle right now. I made zazzle-sized templates a couple weeks ago. Got them all uploaded and things look great. The one down side is that there's a 24 hour wait before the products go live. So... I should have links to share with everyone tomorrow.

If zazzle takes a dump on me, I'll look into getting these done locally and mail them myself.

Yeah, just got the cancellation email from cafepress. :vash:

Let us know when the Zazzle link goes live.

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.

Let's hope it works this time ;)

You can customize and personalize the calendars? huhh weird.

Psulja awesome picture man. Everyone has very awesome pictures. Going to order 2 now.

So cafe press pretty much told you that you are gonna violate your own copyrights? Epic...

My calendar photos, let me show them to you.

A million thanks to everyone who mailed in pix and helped me make these a reality. I really didn't think I could get enough good stuff for two calendars. Now I don't have to have the same one in my home office and downtown office. :)

UPS says mine will get here Thursday!

Man wish this could have got in.
