February 2013 Car of the Month

Subject: February 2013 Car of the Month Sat Feb 02, 2013 6:45 am

Post your picture of your own car that you think should be at the top of the site for a month!

You have up to the 20th of February 2013 to post then a poll will be set up to find out who wins the car of the month.

Pictures have to be taken this month (since January 20th 2012 is fine)

Good luck everyone!

The camera angle and the way the concrete is laid out it looks like your tire is flat lol

I wish my car was worthy of competing here.

Subject: Re: February 2013 Car of the Month Mon Feb 04, 2013 8:05 am

Subject: Re: February 2013 Car of the Month Mon Feb 04, 2013 8:29 am

It's not so much the car, it's the overall picture that makes a great banner. The background, the angle, the effort. Least for me it is. Smile

I fully agree Approve!

. The car could be completely stock standard and have a handful of dents, but as long as someone has given it their best effort to capture a photo of their AE101 that makes them proud to be the owner of it then it deserves a chance to be voted for winning the 'Car of the Month'. So it really comes down to the quality of the photo as opposed to the quality of the car, which makes each month even more exciting as people are forced to raise the bar, think outside the box and capture something amazing Cool

You guys got it! I want the banner not to be about great cars, but about the great AE101 spirit. ALL it requires is some creativity to think about how you can make your car look like it belongs at the top of the webpage. The current picture, for example, shows 3 AE101s lined up all pretty in a row, and that's something not even I was ever able to experience. 3 in a row is better than 1 of my car lol!

I hope you aren't mocking me LOL, I said the same exact thing in his thread Laughing

Subject: Re: February 2013 Car of the Month Mon Feb 04, 2013 11:56 am

I do love the pic though

Subject: Re: February 2013 Car of the Month Mon Feb 04, 2013 1:56 pm

Yes, it is a very nice pic.... though if it wins, I think I'll have to test my photoshop skills lol

Subject: Re: February 2013 Car of the Month Mon Feb 04, 2013 3:26 pm

Haha you guys are too damn fussy Razz

I just spent a while trying to 'fix' it and this is about as good as I could do. If anyone else wants to have a crack feel free Wink

Here's a before and after:

LOL! You did the hardest part actually. Now, it's a challenge! I'll see what I can do, just for fun LOL.

Subject: Re: February 2013 Car of the Month Sun Feb 10, 2013 9:06 am

Wow, I cant believe how clean your your car looks this month Kiwi. So clean I think you intimidated everybody from entering a pic lol

Heres my entry, perhaps it will inspire more to enter Very Happy

Except I am going to change it in 20 mins or so, Im going out to retake that pic but with the hood up (if it looks better)?

Subject: Re: February 2013 Car of the Month Sun Feb 10, 2013 9:47 am

Love the pic Dave. The blue sky and white snow really makes your car pop out. I like that one better than the hood up. Normally when I see a car with a hood up, it means it's broken down. haha Razz

Subject: Re: February 2013 Car of the Month Sun Feb 10, 2013 9:58 am

I can't find any new locations at the moment. I'll probably end up swapping it by the end of the month once I get adventurous.

Subject: Re: February 2013 Car of the Month Sun Feb 10, 2013 10:17 am

Thanks Kenny. Yes, the sun was really shining and it warmed up to maybe 0 to -5 degrees Celsius. It was a really nice day

and you raise a good point about the hood being up lol. Ill probably just leave my entry as that pic.

Did I inspire you to post an entry Kenny? lol Your car looks very clean in that pic and love how your parked kindof half in the shade. Nice pic (plus I just noticed how snug your fog lights fit in your bumper).

Subject: Re: February 2013 Car of the Month Sun Feb 10, 2013 3:01 pm

^^^^ yeah I don't like the hood up so much. But all that salt over your car makes me cringe!
