Post some good stuff so we can put up some good wallpaper on our computers. It's hard to find good stuff without having to pay an arm and a leg.

What exactly are you looking for? I have used pictures of my car that I have taken at nice scenic locations. I have used the monthly calendar from the NCM. I also have pictures from LeMans if you are into Corvette Racing.

Just want pretty pics is all, nothing tooled up on a computer. I like having good backgrounds. Something of decent size too since small pics stretch out horribly when posted as a background.

Search the net, there are all sorts of sites that have free backgrounds. It just depends on what you want.

Default Look in picture threads!

I have snatched up numerous pictures on the forum, and placed them in a folder. I knew I had quite a few, so I counted up and there is 960 photos! Plenty of wallpaper, you just have to look around, and picture threads are usually the best place to start. BTW, Mr. Bill, there are several of your car in there! LOL!

Check out the National Corvette Museum website. Lots of great wall paper and calendar pics. Have been using their monthly calendar as my wall paper for a while now.

Then there's another 8 or 9 GB of downloaded pictures, reviews etc....
