Man, you sure take nice pictures! With or w/o tripod? By the way, the LS is not so bad itself...

Love the car and of course the wheels are one of my all time favorites. Hmmm maybe some day I can have an LS that looks like that.

Nice LS .

That saddle leather really looks orange in the pics though & it sticks out like a sore thumb That leather actually looks much better in person . . .

Great pics

As for the SD auto show, it's hardly worth the price of admission...especially compared to the LA auto show.

Thanks!! Nah, no tripod. The pictures were taken with a decent point and shoot digi - Sony Cybershot DSC P200, 7.2 megs

For the wheel shots I used the railing among the display platform to stabilize the camera...no tripod so I had to improvise

Black with Saddle! A rarity. I used to love Auto Couture, what happened to them?
Nice pics, Sieze.
