That is what Photoshop is for! Its not a model, but the blur filter makes the depth of field much longer than reality.
Great shot.

We have a front plate law here in MD, also. I just pay the tickets when I get them.

I know it isn't a model! Just saying it is a cool effect is all.

I'm a front plate law-breaker too. No problems yet... *knock knock*

Can't be: the rain drops on the car are too small... Photoshop is your friend. Nice effect I'd have to agree though.

You have that pic in high-res? Wouldn't mind putting that on my desktop. I've been looking for a good high-res picture of a titanium gray.

I LOVE it, unfortunately, it's rained EVERY DAY since I picked the car up. I have used it between rain showers, though.

I also live in MD and there's no @#$%ing way I'm putting on no weak *** tags in the front. I've been pulled over in my other cars before but luckily not in my "8" yet......Knock on @#%$ing wood!!! Sorry I just think that it's so petty for law enforcement to worry about front tags on vehicles....
