Default What Is Your Desktop?

What image do you use as your desktop?
I change mine from time to time but they always seem to have a "David's GTO" theme. My kids make it on from time to time also.
This is my current one. My screen saver is also a slide show of "My Pictures" shots, most of which are David's GTO related.

This one has ben on my work lap top for a while now.

It belongs to Rob Lozins and his collection of very fine Pontiacs. I had to go to his shop one day and this was waiting in the parking lot for me when I pulled in. They were taking shots of it for the Mecum Auction. Has to be one of my fav Pontiacs of all time. Its been well talked about here on the forum and guesses on what it will bring.

This is mine---for inspiration in finishing my '64. This is the Royal Pontiac '64 GTO at the Dayton Covention.

Good thread . . .

I used to have car pics that rotated on my desktops, but I haven't found any new super high-res ones so I put on this beauty of a landscape.

Back in February, we went dogsledding in Canmore, Alberta. I currently have that album making a slide show.

Here's a few of the images...

My daughter took this while visiting Superior Wi. We drove up to see Ken Pipers 2+2. I wound up buying his 66 bonny. Love the light houses.

Mine is my Grandson and the right rear quarter of my '67 GTO. He is patting his hand on the top of the red-line tire saying "cool car"...which he says about pretty much anything. All boy. Don't know how to get the picture on here though.

Yeah - a friend of mine back when I lived in Wisconsin was into old Corvettes and had a Corvette ring. I commented to him that no one made a GTO ring.

He was a goldsmith, and promptly said he'd make one for me...

David, IIRC, you either own a jewelry store or are a goldsmith yourself.
