Fun With Photography
This past Saturday, my wife, my brother and I all got our "whips" properly cleaned and looking sharp, so we decided to take the black fleet out and take some fun photos. Here is the result:

It was a lot of fun, so I just thought I would share, since there is a cool VX in there.

No idea what a clean car is. Won't for a while. The roads here look like the rim of a margarita glass and will look even worse tonight when round 5 of the snow and ice smack us. My blue WRX is now salty-gray and my VX is staying semi-ebony simply because she gets to sit it all out in the clean garage.

Yeah, it's been clear and mild here in Reno. It was 25 this morning when I drove to work but as soon as that sun comes out it will be around 55 by mid day and it feels warmer in the sun. I love it here.

Well, we took these pics not 60 minutes from the time we finished washing. My VX does look good when clean, from about 6 feet away. If you look closesly though, my paint is FUBAR. I have a lot of chips and dings all over, and loads of tree rash. Last time I went wheeling (a few weeks ago) the trail had a lot of slushy/muddy spots. I was on this hill that came to an abrupt stop where I couldn't go any further. The trail was tight to begin with (probably a quad trail) and when I tried to back down my rear end just slid and before I knew it the whole driver's side was under a pine tree with low hanging branches. It was ugly. Getting outta that put some monster slashes on my hood and front fender. But, that's what happens when you wheel so...

And wouldnt you know it. Hit 58f today and within the last hour, it dropped to 41f with snow and freezing rain moving in.... again. We just cant get a break around here.
Damn you all with the ability to have paint that actually has a reflection!

Awesome!!You should call that set of pictures the Fantastic 3.
