Pretty nice reflection on the ground...now, if you had the car shined up, WITH that reflection, that'd be bad @$$

Sux cause I had to drive the car in the rain 30min to get to work. It rained at work! But then there was the puddle.

J/K here:
Now if I could plan it right I could wait for the next big storm. Clean up the car. Drive over while its dry. Park at the chevron next door and under the gas pump roof as it rained. Wait for it to stop. Limp over, to not sling dirty road water on car. Rake the leaves out of the puddle. Then park the car and duplicate the pics before the rain starts again or the puddle goes away! Then have the sun peep thru the clouds right at noon, so there are no harsh shadows...it would be perfect! HEHEHE!
Ok all j/k aside now...

I have a few placed where I have caught puddles. Most of the time there is nasty stuff in the backdrop...semis, trainers, fences...or lines painted on the pavement! Got lucky on a clean back drop, but no way to clean the car or get the sun to come out...

What are you going to do...plus the resolution on the dig camera sux!

Yep! a show car that is still daily driven...I know, I know...I'm asking for it!

Now if I could just get the Pulsar back together and running, that would be a thing of the past...NO TIME! and the thing being a blasted FWD import with a small engine bays, over complicated brackets, & vacuum lines... Got to find one in the junkyard and get some pics... ANd of course I ahve to paint everything while it is apart!
