Default Have you Vette'd your tech?

In a recent thread, a forum member was looking for a Corvette themed cover for his iPad. I know most of us have a few Corvette trinkets in our personal possessions (t-shirts, key chains, pens, coffee mugs, etc.), but it's pretty easy (and free) to apply your own Corvette theme to your technology devices.

I've got Corvette themes on my iPhone, iPad, home and office computers. Most of the themes are just photos taken on the device of my own car. The computers have a constant background slide show of Torch Red Corvettes from various weird angles and I've adjusted the windows menu colors with a complimentary red.

Anyway, I was curious if others have "Vette'd your Tech"?

Yep, my iPhone, iPad, Desktop, all have been 'Vette'd.

I don't have pictures because it's a bit too early and I'm still half asleep, but I'll post some up later if I remember when I re-wake up.

The only thing I have NOT found is an actual case for the iPhone/iPad that is 'Vette'd. I found some that were pictures on the back of a case, but they looked really cheap and crappy, so I didn't bother. Haven't found a GOOD case yet.

This thread seems to be about having only one focus for everything in life. At this moment I can see 6 computers/phones. Two are 9/11 themes. The rest are each different. None are Corvette because a car just doesn't make my top 10 list of things in life.

Whoa! I'm just sharing some Corvette themes in my tech devices on a Corvette forum. Many of the folks on this board have at least a mild interest in Corvettes. I just thought perhaps one or two of them just might have done the same as me.

No, my computer(s) wallpaper is more the Racer avatar variety. I like looking at cars (and Corvettes in particular) but if given a choice I'll take beautiful women anyday!

I first thought you meant have you vetted your technician (mechanic).

You have to remember...Corvettes may not be in everyone's top ten but crapping in innocent threads apparently is...



I have the Vette theme on my computers at home and work...but not my other stuff...
