be sure to give her a nice drying, and maybe even a nice coat of wax.

Now for a leisurely stroll thru the state park. I had people following me around, asking me if they could take pictures of it.

Last one in the park ... actually I have about 30 more, but this is the last one I'll post for now.

Put another coat of Zaino on. -m

That's next on the agenda, although I've never used more than turtle wax on a car before, so I'm pretty nervous that I'll screw it up somehow.

*knods* I admit it I donno what I did, but I managed to put 2 marks on my car with the clay bar; very near each other(on the base of the B pillar) luckily they were nearly invisible, and after putting on the wax, I havent noticed them at all. be careful, be sure to wash the car VERY GOOD(might I suggest washing the car 2 times before claybar? the directions are once before once after) and be sure to use enough joy solution and turn the bar often.

========================

I don't know anything about the man's camera, but he has an eye for scenic shots. I am glad he took the time he post them.

BTW, I'm guessing that the quality of the shots suffers from the file size limit of posts on this site.

Can't we all get along?

Thanks for the input, but the camera works just fine. Shrinking 1600x1200 shots down to 640x480 just doesn't do much for digital pictures. Maybe if I sprung for Photoshop instead of using MS Photo Editor it would be a little better. These look fantastic on my 21 inch monitor at their original resolution.

Thanks Joyia - yes, this car is definitely growing on me. I just hit 600 miles, and I'm thinking "maybe it's okay to go to 5000 rpm now".

Nice shots! You do have an eye for a good "pose."

For all of those giving me credit for my site/shot selection, I will pass your nice comments on to my wife, who is the real artist in the family. I'll take credit for having the idea that the car might look really good with the fall background, but she is the one who did the site selection.

Haha, neat. She gives you an awesome car, and she's a great artist! I think you are creating some envy! (j/k)
