If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough.

While we were living in north Austin, I came across a local automotive shop that had a Shelby Cobra kit car. The clear coat was starting to peel and the owner left it with shop to be clear coated. The owner of the shop was nice enough to let me take a few photos.

The AC Cobra, sold as the Ford/Shelby AC Cobra in the USA and often known colloquially as the Shelby Cobra in that country, is an American-engined British sports car produced intermittently since 1962.

The car may have been designed by AC but Carroll Shelby made it famous.  Sadly, Carroll Shelby died about six months ago of ongoing heart problems, but he lived a long and for-filling life of 89 years.

I put a new engine in my car, but forgot to take the old one out. Now my car goes 500 miles per hour

This is one of those times that you run across something totally unexpected. I was checking out those huge presidents heads and ran across a Mustang in mid tear down; I thought it was a neat scene with the ominous sky in the background.

Oxidation...

The outside of that 1940s Ford Super Deluxe. When it comes to photographing vehicles I prefer them to be either freshly waxed or falling apart, the in-between is just boring to look at, And I absolutely love to photograph rust.
