Erik (Dr. It) Miller and I went to "Hoods Up" night at the MFA's show "Speed, Style, & Beauty", a exhibit of some of Ralph Lauren's collection of cars. Hoods Up was way cool, not only because we could see the engines, but because it attracted the true motor heads.

And under the 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 Mille Miglia.

Happy as a pig in s**t!

If not now, when?

    Besides being a great car picture, the father and child are priceless!

    Thanks, Erik. I haven't processed the one you picked, but it looks good to me now that you did pick it. Funny how that is. Anyway, the whole gallery is here, in case someone else wants to see these beasts with their hoods up:

    Better without the stroller?

    It was a lot of just the sort of photoshop work I like least. I'd like feedback.

    Yes, it is not a snapshot anymore when you take away the stroller. That is not a word I like to disparage, but I am too tired for semantics.

    The only problem, though, with taking away the stroller, I find it more difficult to take note that it is a child looking under the car. The child part, imitating the adult, or the opposite, is even funnier than the fact that everyone seems to be looking under cars.

    They must ride low on the road, if the engine is below that platform.

    Don't go through water, if you buy one.

    I love the PS stuff you do on red cars. If I ever need one done, I will send it to you.

    great photo!

    without spell check I really am lost. some people may be lurking because they are embarrassed that they can't spell, either.
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.
