Beautiful car and shots man! Though take that last part with a grain of salt, because everything I know about photography I learned in the "Sarlacc" thread.

I didn't use red text for a reason

J would have known I wasn't serious. I influenced the purchase of his S2k

Well, TBH, if the majority of non pros think my pictures are nice, I can live with that although I am always trying to gather opinions on what I can do differently.

Thanks all...
yeah, Tyler definitely had input on the purchase of the S2000 when I was trying to narrow my "weekend car" choice down.

Those are the best pics I've seen you post! I expect all of your photos from now on to be at least this quality or better.

Can't wait for next weekend!

I will admit that it's not the most practical car, but I think most would agree that they love it.

My Dad came by the new house this weekend and he took his wife around the block to test drive it...he's like, "ohhhh, erection!" about the exhaust and driving it around, he loved it.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone, I appreciate it.

Those are some very beautiful shots of a great looking car! 2 I've got to stop being a lazy bum and get into photography and learn all that I can.

Why thank you! I'm a novice, but I'm constantly learning new techniques...it's overwhelming but with a few pointers, you'll be dominating!

From the front and side it looks like a lip, but from the rear it looks like a spoiler (if that makes sense).

Thanks everyone! Yeah, I was stoked...stay tuned, I'm working with the seller to see about another project that would likely make the Acura community happy

Adam, that makes PERFECT sense!
