Default Pics of the new car

Well, I'm slowly taking stock of the pics I made on the cross-country trip. Here are a few. Let me know what you think, any questions and suggestions are welcome. These were taken with a small digital Casio, the real stuff from my Nikon will be developed, scanned and cleaned later. The name will preceed the pic, just to make it more artsy-fartsy than it needs to be :-)

Great pics! What type of camera did you use? Looks like you had a fun road trip.

Thanks, Keith. Ride was better than expected. My last cross-country trip was in an '85 MR2, so this one was a bit more comfortable. 4534 miles. A lot of fun things. Rear tires with absolutely no tread left. Snow in Virginia...
I'll finish my journal in a few days and will publish it here, I think it might be interesting reading for some.
I never name my cars, but am thinking of naming this one Forrest for several obvious reasons.

The camera was a credit card sized Casio Exilim 4. I just picked it up for the trip. My main camera is Nikon N80 and I've taken a few rolls with it as well, but it will take time to get those pictures the way I want them to be (a long schpiel about how I dislike digital photography skipped here, since i'm thinking of defecting soon).

The square piece atop the license plate is a receptacle for a bike rack from PO (racj is currently rattling in my trunk). A perfect eBay item :-) I just need to figure how to take it off.

Nile, Nice pictures! I like the "just say no" black and white shot and the "Melancholy bay" by the fog shot. Those car are just sexy and looks fast even if they're just parked.
