    Corvette..what a beautiful car. I like that colour. Bowling Green, Kentucky where it is made. We held hubby's annual fly-in at Bowling Green three years ago. Nice place too. I like that car better than a Mercedes Benz. But that is just me. Like the angle shot too.

    Good viewpoint and nice shot overall Jean. If you wait for TinyPic, you might wait for ever. DropBox is a viable alternative. See the posts from Randy and Mike here:

    A test send via Dropbox. I use Dropbox to be able to stock my pictures in the right format and send them either from my desktop or my laptops; until now no problem of capacity and no payment required.

    Nice images of a classic car! I like the wide angle look of the first image. Somehow (IMO it makes the Corvette look like it is ready to peel rubber

    Thank you Richard for commenting, what do you mean by "ready to peel rubber"?

    peel rubber = smoke the rear tires (ie what usually happens when you STOMP on the throttle from a dead stop)

    And then there's "layin' scratches" - those short rubber tire marks laid down on the street as the transmission shifts gears while your cheeks do the the Colonel John Stapp thing . .

    How do I know? Last year I had my pick-up truck "up-graded" to a 400HP stroker engine and a low-ratio limited-slip differential.
