Roadkill, I like the before and after "effects"-like they do in the commercials where the before pic, the lady is all scowling or sad looking(shade) and after shes bright and smiling(sun). Don't know if you intended that, but it works! Just giving you a hard time-car looks much better, much.
BTW, we should go for a drive together sometime, I am down the coast in Mendocino. If you are ever in the area, drop me a line before coming down. Have you ever driven that highway along the Klamath River? That is on my top 5 alltime ripper roads. I even know big bike guys that go all the way up from SF to run that road.
