But don't tell anyone I said that! I have a reputation to look after!

Nice photo! You always do a good job proving that great photos can be taken on overcast days.

I have to ask, was the red G-ND filter applied on the lens or in post?
It works very nice with the car's red highlights.

So did you get to take it for a ride?

The sky was post-work, I only added it because of the blown out sky. I need a Circular Polarizer filter!

No I didn't get a ride. :(
I got a ride in something even better!

I've always wanted 355. There's a girl at my school who has an yellow Spider. Grrrrrr I wonder how expensive a used one is...

I concur. Plus the engine is in the correct location and makes the right sounds IMHO.

Sounds like a tough life you have there, eh?

Dang Juan, that ride is cherry! Brings back memories of reading Lowrider magazine in High School English class (not on the approved reading list of course ) I've got nothing but respect for these guys who keep these classic 50s - 60s era cars looking (and running) so well, often times better than the original.
