The closest I'll probably ever come to owning a Mercedes will probably be that hat, but I thought you might like to see some of the cars I've had a chance to take for a spin. I work for some well off individuals, and they like their cars. Also fun, but not pictured, were an M3, Toyota Supra, Lexus GS, 700HP modified Trans Am, and a 1999 Dodge ViperGTS. My favorite was the Viper...man, what a beast. The only problem with getting a taste of cars like that is it is hard to go back to your old mode of conveyance. :( Anyone else have some hot car photos they want to post?

nice pictures, Kort...especially the one with the mountains in the background! here's one i'm working on. i just don't have nerves to finish this image right now but i thought i'd show you anyway. i tend to take more macro shots of cars, especially of the wheels and stuff. dunno if anyone finds those kind of images interesting. i never show them. i might show one more after this maybe. sounds like you have fun! :)

I find them interesting! :) I do the same thing from time to time Shelia...just never posted any of the images. I'd love to see your stuff sometime. :)

I suppose i should thank ya huh? THANK YOU FOR RUBBING IT IN MY FACE!!!! Ill have you know that Fiat is a really under-estimated car...sigh. Really sweet pictures though!!!! YOU DROVE A VIPER??? MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!! How cool is that!!! The neatest car i have ever owned was a BMW M3-replica, Alfa Romeo GTV and a little suzuki Jeep.....ive had sooo many cars. I cant fix them if they break so i usually just trade them in, lol. Gonna look and see if i can find a shot or two....

Hey, these look pretty cool. Hey, I drive a VW Passat and that blue "kiddie" van you see in the 3rd photo of the "Completely Different" forum thread. I love the landscape two...does that mist constantly follow you around or what? I look forward to seeing that beemer! Oops, ya beat me to it. Wow, that is a sweet ride there Andreas. Owning an M series car is one of my dreams. =]

that close up is fantastic, Kort!! nice images from you, Andreas! i really like that misty shot! big surprise, huh! u sure you wanna see more, Kort? ok. this one...no postwork except to convert into b/w tones. i just don't feel like doing anything right now...not even cropping it. it'll be there waiting for me though.

hmmmm, i thought i just uploaded my tires. they disappeared. black hole in here somewhere. either that or i was on the wrong thread. wouldn't surprise me. anyway, i need to crop this still. i'll do it later. i guess it should be in b/w but i just felt like doing something different.

Amazing wheel and tire shos there Sheila. Really artistic and well done. I hope you post even more later. But these are awsome and will tide me over for now. =]

Kort Kramer - Kramer Kreations

thanks, Kort! glad u liked them.

well.. you know i luv classic cars.. (& like these emblems here too :) & i should thank you andreas for inspiring kort to post this as i ended up working on this one on & off today :] so thank you for inspiring me once again

Here ya go Andreas...Also I think Sheila likes VW's too.(oh yeah...the Viper is beside it)

Oooooh Beetles are my fav cars!!!! And what a wicked one u found there Douggy!!! I love it!!! Sheila, that tire shot is awesome!!! I just love it, the toning, the compo, everything!! Can't participate in this one since I don't have any cars shots other than wreck ones I took ages ago. I'm definitely not into cars. I love Beetles cos they look cute but that's about all I know about them! O_o Cool shots here guys though!

Hey cyn, glad we could inspire you! That MG shot is brilliant, love the postwork and all that chrome. Doug, that has to be the cooles Beatle I've ever seen outside of the Fab Four! Joe, that is a tough looking 'rod there, very patriotic! :) Okay...I'll post another "car detail." Can anyone guess what car this is from? :)

Kort Kramer - Kramer Kreations

Okay now I definately have to hook up my scanner. BEST CAR EVER... Light teal BMW M3 convertible!!!!Man she was amazing!Hated to give her up. Andreas,I had no problem getting a ridgeback in it and mine was smaller than yours.Where there's a will there's a way! Other best car I ever had was my first...sigh...1978 Trans Am just like (except by a year)the one in Smokey and the Bandit.Except mine was customised. Obviously I love cars,lol. We lease so I've had a few. Actually it's driving I love so much.I've got a pretty heavy foot on the gas pedal,lol. LOVING THE SHOTS HERE!It is like a simon!

Miss that car,sniff sniff... Sorry Cindy,those plates are looooong gone.Both yours and Joes shots are out and out gorgeous! I love Sheila's close-ups too. I love beetles and even the mini-cooper but my dream cars are a classic MG or an AC Cobra.Too bad I have no garage...

Kort Kramer - Kramer Kreations

Thanks Kort.Wish I'd kept it... I thought I'd love a jag even more.What a mistake! Sorry this pic is sooooo awful.It's really low quality and really old.(Which makes me ancient,lol).But it's the only kind of pic I have of my first 'baby'.LOL. Sigh,she was stolen...

Wow!!! What a fun thread!!! I LOVE car pictures of any kind!!! Cindy, Joe...your classic cars there are awesome!!! I love the postwork you did on that, Cindy!!! Doug...well, i drive a yellow VW Beetle, but i'd much rather drive the one in your image!!! OMG, what a Totally Groovy car!!!! Now THAT is the car of my dreams!!! the guys at the Midas Shop couldn't believe i wanted to take pics of their tires!!! Well, they didn't mind a bit, but they were just like...don't ya wanna take pictures of flowers and stuff? i just told them that i dig cars and tires and stuff...and well, they understood! LOL! Pascale...you and i will have to arm wrestle to see who gets that one!!!! :) Kort...nice close-up but i have no idea what car it's from. :( Marlene, the first car i ever drove was a Trans-Am. I was 18, and my best friend and co-worker was teaching me how to drive on the grounds of the state hospital where we were working. i ended up getting it stuck on the railroad tracks there! OMG...i was terrified i ruined her car. can't remember how we got ourselves out of that jam! Anyway, i love your first baby and that pic! thanks for the memories!! Now that's where you and i are different, Marlene. I don't really like driving. I spent so many years commuting that i got sick of it! I don't mind driving around town and in the country where there's not much traffic, but i get so damn irritated driving in traffic! Well...i guess 'cause it's not so much driving...more like just sitting there on the expressway!!! Arrrrrggggg! and what a nice convertible!!! bet she was a dream to drive!! anyway...sorry for rambling guys! You start posting pictures of cars and stuff i can't help it! :)

this thread is right up my street...so to speak...lol...here's one of my last car just before selling it :(

I couldnt agree more actually. Ive had probably 14 cars...all different brands, from Volvo to BMW and i gotta say .....that the Fiat is by far the most reliable out of all those models. Pssst....did any of you listen to that silly song i sent you yet?

You guys are breaking my heart!!!! I used to have a Fiat Spyder convertible....... I loved that car!!!! I will have to look and see if I can find a photo of it. I always had beater cars, nothing fancy (or newer then ten years old), but I also had a job years ago for a company that restored classic cars. I didn't get to drive the classics, but I did get to drive all the excutives' cars! "Kim, take Robert's Beamer down to his office and pick up his Rolls to be serviced."!!! Oh yeah! Got to drive several Rolls Royces!!!! Loved all the looks on the freeways!!! Once a year we would have a company picnic and all the employees would load up in the classic cars to be driven to the picnic site! I got to ride in a Dusenberg! Whoo Hoo!! That was a great job!
