It's only when you start encountering real-world pavement that they start getting truly upset. I'd never <i>own</i> one mind you -- at least not that I'd actually <i>drive</i> -- but they're nice to look at. And photograph. And this one appears to fall into my favorite 'Vette age bracket -- '68-'72.<br /><br />I could spend <i>hours</i> no, <i>days</i> trying to decide on a favorite automotive subject. Classic hot rods, exotics, customs, unreliable British (I know... redundant) sports cars, obscenely expensive luxo-mobiles...<br /><br />And then I'll get back in my reliable uberfunctional pickup truck with my dog and be glad that I don't have to buy the insurance on <i>that</i> thing!<br /><br />But if I could have my pick of <i>any</i> car to spend a day with I suppose it would be the 1966 Ford GT-40. I've never actually seen one of these in person, but any car that could dethrone Porsche at the 24 Hours of Le Mans... Yeah, I could shoot that.Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-84291326362247593982010-07-19T22:34:57.102-04:002010-07-19T22:34:57.102-04:00oh oh oh ... back a few... ahem ...years

LOVED that car. I would love to shoot it now, but it's far away.Dianne - Bunny Trailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04604043807160470553noreply@blogger.com
