My Phantom Blue Mazda3 Sedan

[laraw]

While I am not incredibly active on this forum I thought that it might be nice to give you folks an idea of what I have been doing to my car. I have a thread like this opened on the forum I am active on... but I really wanted to share this with everyone here too in an attempt to be more active. If anyone has any comments, they would be greatly appreciated!

No prob. I'd kill to own a camera that could take pictures of that quality. Until then I'm stuck with my Cybershot, haha.

At least I got pics like this with it in the past (in the last pic the focus is photoshopped... my camera has no such ability) :
