Very nice! Of course you have an excellent subject but I guess the photographer should be complimented on the setup and angles. Made me want to go out and clean todays dusting of pollen off my baby.

Thanks everyone!
Thanks to all for the compliments. It's always nice to get support. Funny, I rarely hear anything from passerby's. I only hear compliments from co-workers and friends which includes the peeps here.
Answers to your questions...
-I bought a Nikon D50. Bought a 18-70mm and prime 50mm lens too. This camera is awesome. It's not the most expensive by any means, but works well for me. I'm loving photography again. I've taken like 1000 pics in 5 days. rrpnow, get off your lazy butt and take some pics
-I did use a tripod but only on the night shot. Everything else was the elbows-at-waist method.
-The windblocker is MB. $450 when I got it. A friend knew someone at MB service. However, many here bought it for less from someone online out of Germany.
-The antenna is not the SL antenna. At least not the painted one. It was the cheaper one. No additional antenna in the bumper. Sorry, I dont have more info. The remote distance was reduced to about 10-20 feet range. Its still good enough for me. I only listen to Sirius, Ipod, and CD's. AM/FM doesnt matter. Therefore, it's a good solution for me.

Dan, nice pics and of course nice car. The caspian blue looks stunning, especially those pics taken with a quality camera. I've seen other pics where the caspian blue looks almost like black, didn't look as nice.

One more thanks for the compliments.
Beleriand, I agree on the color comment. I think people mention that before anything else. Lot's of people ask about it. Of course, racy red doesn't look bad either!
