Soup, The wheels were painted and polished here in Houston several years ago. I wax them about twice a year which is not enough. Two of them have small traces of a stain probably from some dog or irate neighbor.

Brick work and fountains by Mattress Mac owner of the location. Houston residents know him from Gallery Furniture. Location is the Westside Tennis Club where my wife spends half her time which works for me cause that way she doesn't see me spending my time and money on the car.
Can anyone tell me why digital cameras don't seem to capture guards red as great as it looks? Or is it my camera?

Camera settings....I find that in full sun you need a filter on the lens to get the best colors or adjust the colors on your computer afterwards.
MY best shots come in overcast foggy days or early/late in the day.

Zerort seems to have the best color match. Or is the car orange and the camera makes it look like guards red? I like the rear wiper.
