Reflections from the hood

.... just had the best 7 days weather since last October..Just given my baby a show shine, and took a picture on the hood. I have seen in the past a particularly excellent shot of a US flag in the hood reflection, sorry mine just shows my shed door with a Chevy sign.

Sweet! That looks good. Love the color

I am getting tired of the rain here. Glad that you had some nice days.

BTW - what is gas going for over in the UK now?

if it is a reflection, wouldn't it usually be backwards where you can't read it?

its sad.. most windows operating systems dont have a program that you can use to easly resize your pix. unless its some dell or some brand that came with a image program.

I hate paintshop pro but... www.jasc.com you can get a image program for 60 days on trail and 50 bucks to buy.


Now if you really want to have fun for 30 days in a trial program

http://www.adobe.com/products/tryado...tml#product=39

scroll down and click adobe photoshop 7.0 give it your friends email address.. hehe j\k and it lets you download the trail. Its 162MB though.. so what does that mean if your not a pc person? Downloads in 10-20-30 minutes on a cable modem or dls.. and heh.. over night on dial up. If you like it you can buy it for 700.00 bucks after the 30 day trial but.... 6.0 is only 150. 00 just version 7 is.. ouch!

and no.. the chevy reflection doesnt look real lol. I know I know.. it probabaly is coz ya mirrored it.. but I think you should keep it the right way just so it looks right.
