Man, you sure take nice pictures! With or w/o tripod? By the way, the LS is not so bad itself...

Love the car and of course the wheels are one of my all time favorites. Hmmm maybe some day I can have an LS that looks like that.

Great pics

As for the SD auto show, it's hardly worth the price of admission...especially compared to the LA auto show.

Thanks!! Nah, no tripod. The pictures were taken with a decent point and shoot digi - Sony Cybershot DSC P200, 7.2 megs

For the wheel shots I used the railing among the display platform to stabilize the camera...no tripod so I had to improvise

Black with Saddle! A rarity. I used to love Auto Couture, what happened to them?
Nice pics, Sieze.
