Side view - love the suicide (freestyle) doors and the access they provide for getting the baby seat in.

I love the red/black interior too. In fact it dictated the external colour of the car.
I wanted the original yellow car with yellow/black interior, but that never made it to production. So I went with the red/black interior, which (to me) meant I obviously had to get the red exterior to match.

Wanna save money on your energy bills? Switch to a Geothermal heating and cooling system. Expensive up front, but it will cut your heating/cooling bills significantly. Also, replace every light bulb with a compact fluorecent bulb -- uses a quarter of the energy of incandecents (19w vs 100w same lumens). Add a solar hot water heater and a couple of solar panels to offset your electricity bills. If you don't like the look of panels, use solar shingles instead.
On topic -
Nice car. The red looks great with Zaino.

The things you really need are Z7 Show Car Wash ($8) and Z2 Show Car Polish for Clear Coats ($13). I got the complete Show Car Kit ($85) which includes ClayBar and other stuff. Probably the best bet if you are new to Zaino (like me) and want to spend all day working on the car.
See this thread for what I did to the car on Sunday.

Obviously great minds think alike! New Hampshire looks wonderful, as does your car. I would give up my house in Houston in a heartbeat if I could move back to New England and have a similar paying job.

Pelucidor,
As a suggestion, try using a program other than Microsoft Photoeditor (or whatever program you used) to resize your pics. I am sure they are very nice full sized but the are badly aliased (i.e. jaggies) after resizing.
To demonstrate the difference, here is speed's pic resized to 75% with Photoeditor and are aliased:

Just some advice.
Look at the wheels and some of the gaps between panels of the car to really see the difference. At 75% reduction the aliasing isn't as noticeable, but I'm sure you are probably reducing by 50% or so with your images and that is what is making it quite pronounced.
Car looks great either way.
