: PLEASE vote for my Classic Car Calendar Entry!

Everyone,

The #1 rated radio station in my area does an annual "classic car calendar".

I entered a photo of my car for consideration, and out of a couple thousand, it was one of 67 selected for a vote.

The "winners" of the contest get to have their vehicle professionally photographed and printed for one of the months in the 2010 calendar.

No monetary award or prizes. Just one of 12 people in the calendar.

My car is the very first listed on their voting page. (top row, far left column)

It is a 1969 Chevelle Malibu. Phathom Green, 2-door hard top.

You can select up to 12 different cars. Or you can pick just one.
Picking just my car or fewer than 12 (but still picking voting for me)
will increase the odds of me getting in the calendar.

They claim they will be watching for multiple votes from the same IP address.

Voting ends Monday!

Thanks!!!

Thanks for all of the votes so far.

I just took my wheels in to get new tires.

I just found out BF Goodrich doesn't make the COMP TAs anymore.

And the new improved version doesn't come in my size. errrrrrrr

So I went with 225/70/15 Radial TAs for now.

I'd go bigger in the rear, except for the problem I'm asking about in this thread:

[size=4]The Classic Car Calendar photo shoot was today and continues tomorrow.

At a Budweiser warehouse. (No, they didn't hand out any free samples[:(])

They are trying to best match a background with the car.
Green car = Green background.

I only stuck around long enough to see the next car that showed up.
Blue car = Blue background.[/size=4]

[size=4]The model finally showed up. She is BriAnn Stiles. [/size=4]
[size=4]This is the only half way descent picture I could get.
They cut all of the overhead fluorescent lights so they wouldn't interfere.
I'll post a link to the professional photos when the photographer posts them.[/size=4]

[size=4]Next guy had a car in a whole different league than mine.
(although it wasn't HIS car. It was his brother-in-law's)
Perfect paint. Perfect interior. Perfect engine. [/size=4]

I found out later that the model is also a photojournalist, motocross racer, and in college.
