"Oh hai guiz!"




Thanks for looking!

 

Brawr, give me shoutouts I did your tuning. Call me today pumpkinz, tehehhehe.

 

Nice car man. I think you need better pics though. I.E. Without the dog haha.

 

ya the dog and the pinstripe could go :P but ya man nice work and nice ride!

 

It's a swiss mountain dog right?

 

Psh... The dog stays. In place of hot, scantily clad women, you get my macho puppy.

The pinstripe I'm torn on. I would really like it to go, but every black sedan that doesn't have it looks like a big, black blob without that character line.

I never claim to be a good photographer. These were taken on the last nice day of the year and it was the first time my car was running in over a month, so exotic locales were out of the question due to daylight constraints.

This is all a work in progress and, unlike most of the other FCOTM competitors, this car is being purpose-built to Go and not just Show. Anyone in Central Illinois can expect to see me at most of the CCSCC/HISCC AutoX events next season.

Yay! No more CEL's

Yep. Greater Swiss Mountain Dog.

Or, as my 3-year-old neighbor says, "Greater Sweet Mountain Dog". Either pronunciation is acceptable.

 

The pics aren't bad and I love dogs don't get me wrong. However, He is pretty much every pic w/ a cobalt in the backround. I think you need more pics of just the car. Just my .02

 

Pics also need to be loaded and posted through the cobaltss.net gallery per the contest rules too.

 

The wife won't let me go to the bars and pick up hot chicks to bring back and "model" for me, so I'm stuck with the dog.

Thanks for the heads up, Done and done!

 

Are you saying your wife isn't hot? Haha. Or you could just take pics of it by itself....... like everyone else haha.

 

My wife is very hot, but she's a High School teacher. So posting up scandelous, nearly nude pictures of her on the internet is a

 

True. So just take some pics of the damn car w/a cool backround

 

As soon as the weather improves... in 4 or 5 months.

 

Snow can make a cool backround.

 

You've never owned a black car, have you?

If I were to just back the car out of my driveway when there's the hint of snow on the ground, it's immediately covered with a nasty, white scale of salt all over the body that would look TERRIBLE in pictures

 

I have. And ok you win. Ill vote for you April-Sept if you try haha.

 

Haha DEAL!
