Well, hang on, john...We absolutely appreciate what you're trying to do here. But, the point of this thread is not to PW to the point we can't stop and appreciate the last picture.

So, for the time-being, please ease up a bit. Thanks!

So why is the reflection in the rear diffuser green as if it's parked over grass, instead of the rubble beneath the car?? I see ZERO greenery below the car itself....

I'd be seriously nervous if I was the one charged with the responsibility of driving that car up onto the rocks.

BTW, I'm staying at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place (2233 S. Martin Luther King Drive) starting tomorrow night through Thursday night for a conference. How's the neighborhood around there? Okay to walk to some good places to eat? Any good places to eat around there worth walking to?

I see the rubble (rocks and bricks) but I also see some green. not sure where that's coming from, it could just be some artifacting on the image. There could also be some green there (on the ground) that we don't see.

do you like Chinese food? that's pretty much right next to Chinatown. tons of good food over there (if you like Chinese food). if not, there's Greek town also near by.

there are tons of delivery options, if I were in your position I would go that route.

"If we can't afford the real thing, at least we can get ourselves a smaller scale model, right? Well, maybe... unless the 1:8 scale Aventador you've got your eye on comes with seats, headlights and steering wheel made from diamonds, wheels fashioned from gold and platinum and a perfectly scaled copy of the body crafted from carbon fiber.

Just how much would such a fancy bauble cost? We hope you're sitting down: at least $4.7 million. Yes, in dollars. Auction house Sotheby's plans to sell the wee Lambo to the highest bidder in December with the lofty starting price just quoted, but if you just can't wait to get your hands on it, you can buy it from Robert Gülpen, the modeler, for a cool $6 million."
