Just to let everyone know, none of it is photoshopped. We had girls running behind the car with sparklers while we took long exposure pics. lol

If you look closely in the high rez pic, you can see them barely. https://flic.kr/p/uLZMJS

Thanks for the link. Great photos by your buddy. I didn't look at your icon to see that you are from Milwaukee, but I picked up on it as I looked at Brandon's photos and saw the SummerFest grounds, plus other Milwaukee landmarks that provide some great back drops for his photos.

I'm just down the road in the Madison area.

I seen that upon looking at it closer. That has got to be one of the neatest pictures of a 3rd gen that I have seen in a long time! Kudo's to the photographer and your car! Great job. Hi-res is awesome!

That's good enough to be sold as a full size poster in stores! If only my local Walmart had enough taste to carry something like that

Are you saying that some Walmarts have taste?

Oh crap, I hate going to the trouble to get a perfect picture and then finding something you overlooked. The sun visor's cloth is wrinkling - it needed re-upholstery before taking the photo.

RE-SHOOT.
