I searched and the only reference to a calendar I found was for 2009. With all the beautiful cars that come through the showroom for an "extreme makeover - detail edition", how about the friendly folks at AG capture the best 12 and create a calendar out of that. I would buy one in a heartbeat or even better include it during the Christmas sales as a bonus item.

At the forum home page, if you scroll down past the posts, you will see all the cars from the last year, including a nice Deere tractor, now it should be on a calendar, so I can look at a new beauty every month.

Thoughts, especially from the folks at AG.
 
I personally wouldn't buy one and I can't see them incurring the costs to produce one to give it away for free. If you want a car calendar just go to calendars.com and get one there. Just my thoughts.
 
I didn't think anyone used a calendar anymore. Pretty much everyone I know just uses the one on their mobile device.
 
I would buy one in a heartbeat. I'm trying to remain old-school as long as I can.
 
I don't use a smart phone and don't want one. I do hang a calendar in my garage and write down who's car is getting detailed on which weekend. I'm an old guy though and it makes me crazy when I see how much time is wasted during the day at work because they are all playing with the phones and then i have to fix the mistakes they make becasue they then have to rush their paper work. Done ranting.

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking!

Snap On, Matco, Cornwell, all those oldies but goodies. ;)

Ah, the good 'ol days. Prolly can't have the Snap On girlie calendars now, because a half naked girl holding a wrench is too offensive for Obama's America.

Not an Obie fan but the political correctness started long before him. My company made us take down our Snap On calendars out in the warehouse offices back in the early 90's.
 
I think it's a neat idea. When I read the first post two ideas came to mind. The first would be a lot of work, but what about those 365 day calendars with a detailing tip for each day ( like a baseball stat a day calendar) The other idea was a traditional calendar but offer special coupons or offers to people that purchase the calendar. Maybe something like a special monthly deal or a free gift for that month. I'm sure autogeek would be able to sell a lot of calendars!
 
I don't think it would be that much work (I could be wrong though). The pictures have already been taken, the hard part would probably be narrowing it down to 12 choices and then picking just one pic from each of the choices.

Another forum I frequent (audizine.com) has calendars from user submitted photos put on a calendar.

I was hoping AG could do something like that, it would be more a piece of art than a functional calendar, I would hang mine in the shop.

Also I remember those tool calendars, I used to be a professional technician many moons ago.

That would be this thread I created to put a picture of all the Thursday project cars and the links to their full write-ups into one thread.

2014 Car Review - Cars detailed at Autogeek's Show Car Garage!


I did this for 2013 too...

2013 Autogeek Year in Review - The cars of AGO


I would like to carve out the time to do it for

2012
2011
2010
2009


One thing for sure, we have a boat load of cool cars going through our garage each year and most of the write ups are like mini how-to books showing all the steps to take a really cool car that's a swirled out mess and simply get the paint back to where it should be.

The topic of doing an Autogeek Show Car Garage calendar has come up a few times over the time I've been here, don't remember what the consensus ever was...

:)
 
PB's usually has a calendar with classic (usually old muscle) cars.
 
Thanks Mike for chiming in. Maybe you can get the powers to be to commit to producing a calendar for 2016. It would be fantastic.
