Great photographs everyone. I didn't get the chance this month... With college and the light bar I put on, it took up most of my time.

Lighting in Picture #1 is great!

I thought my photo was actually good, until I saw some of the other ones. I figured my shot in front of the British Pantry might gain some extra points.

I put my poor car through hell but she's a good sport about it. Bev and like to go exploring on some really funky backroads and we normally come back looking like that contest photo, which was taken last weekend. Don't worry, you all, she always gets at least a bath immediately afterwards.

Here's a photo from a couple months ago. I went out during the day, came home and before I washed Barbarella I sent Bev this photo. She actually screamed and people rushed into her office to see what horrible thing had happened. She showed them the picture and, well, they didn't understand.

I thought that was YOUR MINI in that shot. And you're right, the others just do not get it.

Hey, MY handles the salt and chemicals pretty well... hides them much better than CR or JB !

Man, with my OCDetailers disease, I need to move to Arizona !

You know what's odd ?

I made that post above three days ago and it keeps showing up each day under "new posts" with a new date and time of posting. But the date and time on the post itself doesn't change.

That's what's odd.

You're the last person that posted, it's a poll so the last activity in the thread is the new date/time. Just how the software is written to pull the info from different places. Computers are only as smart as people make them.
