I bought a new car..... · 08:59 PM

..... A nice red hot number.

Trouble is I asked my son to pick it up at the dealers for me. You know the deal when you let your son, who just got his license, to pick up your brand new car....

Needless to say, It came a little battered and bruised. I decided that its best I let him keep it so that he can't borrow the next one I buy.

He also took it off road, scuffed the front spoiler and took a picture to gloat!! What did I do to him to deserve this!!

Hope you enjoyed

wish that I was living in St. Vincent, then I'd be asking for a ride in that speed machine

Oh, tell him to watch out for the cops, that's the sort of car that they target

It almost looks like Lightning McQueen from Cars!

That must have cost you a fortune. Did you have insurance? Great series.

Cheers

Well It was a refurbished car, so it was not that expensive. The insurance was a killer though

Not something I have tried yet but its an interesting effect, I will give it a try once I figure out how to do it.

Cute series... What lens was used? Either that's a really big toy car or a razor thin DOF?
