    Show off your car thread!

    LETS SEE YOUR CAR!!! I wanted to start a thread where we show off our cars and more importantly a Q&A where we can grow as photographers. It will also show great backdrops from around the NY area.

    Here is my original thread (my first new car)

    Lets see yours!

    Fred, Great idea on starting this thread, right up my alley !

    Ok , I have always been a FORD guy since my 1st car in high school and never looked back!

    This is my new toy at the moment, 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 with mods, some "ok" pics till this spring when I can bring her out of the garage:




    This was my 2006 GT till I sold it last year:




    This was my pride and joy, my 1968 Coupe but had to let her go last Feb which I will never get over :(



    I started with a 93 GT, 98 GT and 2000 GT which I don't have any pics of ( wish I did )

    A few modifications such as 130 decibel train horn; A 2 1/2 gallon tank with compressor in back with four trumpets underneath. An AVIC system with hide away screen and removable front-plate.

    I've been shooting photos of my car since I got it, especially when I've traveled to a new state with it.

    From Manhattan to Montauk...

    I need to get a newer pic. This was last year, rolling through 18 inches of snow.



    Hey, EMS, when you drop that you have train horns, you need to explain. Leslie? Nathans? What you got? Also, now we need a video to hear 'em!


    I've got a 5 gallon kit, manual valve and 5 chimer going into my beater car. But the car above may only get 2-3 bells, still considering locatiosn for where the tank and compressor go. Did you sacrifice interior space for the goods or do it all under the car? And did you do it yourself or farm it out?

    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Car #2: 1988 Buick Skyhawk, the epitome of 1980's GM crapola


    Current ride: 1998 Honda Civic EX, 163,504 miles, aka "The Green Hornet"
