What's wrong is that when I go to the RP Web Site to view those photos, my anti virus software goes crazy, telling me the site is attempting to load a Trojan horse virus on my PC. I need to scan my cache and delete all temp files every time I attempt to check out the photos

While a valid concern, you did not answer the question.

Do you get it when you go to rp site or directly to their site?

You're in the left lane???

You didn't pay for it.

It should say Cartek across the top of the windshield???

You're leaving and the black Vette isn't staged yet????

It's valid if it brings my PC down enough that I can't even look at your pic here to see what's wrong with it

RP instructed me to go to their web site, then select "links" and then on to the "photoshop" section to view all the photos. I tried that last night and found myself in a heap of antivirus madness

P.S. Nice pic you got there. I'll have to study it in more detail to tell you everything that's wrong with it. Expect my assessment at some point in the pending future

It looks like the right wheel is higher than the left but it isn't, it is the angle of the photo. Or maybe your weight is holding down the left???
Do I win a prize?

There a lot of good guesses. Very entertaining and I hope you all found it entertaining too.

The problem is that the picture clearly shows I have to no front spoiler. That three part thingy that tears all the time and then droops and causes false light and stuff. The aluminum showing looks nasty!!!!

And Jay, while the jacket does require replacing, you can't see that in the picture....can you? One is on order

You didn't give me enough time to get back with my analysis

But, anyway... With my short attention span (and long reaction times), I never scrolled down far enough to find all the links to the photos on your write-up at http://corvettechallenge.info/2009pro10-1.php ... Nice!

I like the saying: "Event 2 Corvette Pictures by Dave Harris and his Vivian"

Awesome Photos by all the photographers. And, Awesome Videos as well --Thanks !!!!!
