Still not sure, gotta see what, if anything, needs to be done to my car before the meet... might have to hit up A&L that night so I'd just say at my house.

its most likely an HDR and he just cropped around the car and edited it differently than the background (more saturation and stuff like that to the car and pulled some back in the background probably)... pretty standard stuff for people who shoot a lot. Looks really good though... hes obviously no newb.

LMAO! What a pansy. I do 60 miles round trip minimum each day during the week to get to the office. Then on a good day, I will be at the office most of the day. On a busy day, I may make a run to three different clients and run 200 miles or so in a single day. Fun stuff. Typically it doesn't go much over 100 miles a day. This is why a lease doesn't work out for me right now.

Umbra...did you get tint done?
