Default A good day....

So I finally got the vette into Springfield and decided to wash it and go for a small "photo shoot", well 2 of my friends came with me and we had a GREAT time, we started to head out at about 3:30 and got back to the dorms at 6:00, it was great!





















OK so the last two pictures were taken by me..........the kid with the mini is a WIZ at photoshop!

Looks great but should have parked where the light pole shadow wasn't on the car.

That car on the left sure is dorky looking - reminds me of tiny version of an english bus. I think the super-nanny drives one like that. I must say that you have much better taste than your friends. Nice car. The pipes look mean!

I got them coated from a small shop in Joplin called "Performance Coatings" I just told them I wanted flat black, I think they turned out great!

....and for you to be able to stand with your hand on the roof you'd need to be about 8 feet tall. It's a funny picture because the scale is so distorted!

my hand is on one of the "fins" behind the T-Tops,

the only thing that could be distorted would be the size of the vette in relation to the other cars, I took the pic of Ben(right) and Paul(left) with all 3 cars, then paul took a pic of me only and all 3 cars, then just took the vette out of one pic and out it into the other
