Anyway, just a thought.

Jerky, I may be way off here but that looks like a system use case? The reason I ask is, I'm an application developer/system analyst and we write use cases that look similar.

Im a web manager for a large company, what I'm writing there are functional or workflow, or business requirements that I will deliver to my project manager, that person will work with a team of developers, designers, and analysts to complete my request!
It's not a usecase, that would come after I deliver these requirements to the development team!
good eyeball!

It sounds like your development process is very similar to my work. I work for a company that develops corporate tax software. I was just promoted to development manager but my previous responsibility on the team was to write system use cases and user interface prototypes based on the business requirements.
I installed the wheels on Wednesday and they look wonderful! My only complaint about the entire online ordering process is one of the wheels arrived with a 1/4-inch scratch down to the metal. I'm probably the only one who will notice it but it still sucks.
I also accidently stripped my wheel lock key while tightening one of the wheels.

Jerky Great pictures as always. I really like the embarcadero pic with all the reflections...Do you photoshop those to keep YOUR reflection out of the pic?

Two pictures up SSM 2004 TL....bottom right of the pic says embarcadero, san fran on it.
I find it almost impossible not to keep myself out of the pic with a really well waxed car and even though I try to minimize my reflection, I don't sacrafice a great angle and composition just because the reflection is there.
You have a great knack of getting a great shot and no reflection. If you don't take yourself out I was wondering if you had a secret like perhaps getting further away and using a longer lens....or putting the camera on a tripod and using a remote way of setting off the camera etc... Your pics are just fantastic.

thanks for all your compliments
if you notice, most of my pics are not direct angles with the car...so im actually facing a bent area, or a corner..that's why im not in any of the reflections. I take a lot of pics, and select ones that i'm not in.
i dont use a tripod, i dont have a remote...my camera is only 3 mega, and its very old...late 90s.
I do have a lot of photoshop experience, so i know how to touch them up.
thanks again!!!!

Oh, I think we've ALL seen the hotties on your web page by now and believe me....NO ONE on this board thinks you need a different body kit : o
Sorry Erica.....just TOO EASY of a set up. Keep posting those white cars and give some of those guys in Jersey and NYC at least a little hope that some day you will show up at a meet...Maybe if you went down to the shore? You know half the board would fly out LOL SKI U L8R

Jerky,
I gotta hand it to you. I can't wait till summer to give my baby a nice coat of wax and do another photo shoot. Excellent photography. Very creative composition. You should blow some of them up and hang them in your living room.
