But I absolutely love this picture. One of my favorite pictures I’ve taken.

Taken with a Nikon D3000.

When I first saw the car, I thought it was a fake badge. Had no idea they were actually special.

I feel like I should know about this by now, but I honestly didn’t. For a moment there, I was convinced that “cup” was a mis-spelled version of “coupé”, and somebody had just 3D-printed that part of the badge as a joke.

Same. I had no idea it was an actual special edition until my friend (certified Porsche nut) told my about it.

After some quick Googling, it looks like “Turbo Coupe” was specifically a Thunderbird thing. Huh. I was expecting it to be an industry-wide term that just wasn’t used very much.

Reminds me of one of my favorite photos I have taken.

It is just a very well proportioned shot.

I like it, too. It’d be really easy to photoshop that little bit of license plate frame out of the pic - I wonder how that would look.

I’ve got a few others that are less “angled” but you replace that grass in the background with the black off a different car.

Think I’m going to take a Photoshop course soon because I really need to learn it.

I like the grass. Black there would destroy the contrast with the spoiler. Probably replace that shadowed area on the grass w more grass though. This would be a good picture to start learning on.
