The title says it all really. I want to see the nicest pic you took of a car with your phone. please tell me the phone you used too! This is my entry: its a new Audi A6 taken with my Moto X. I don't know how the picture came out so nice, but it just did.

Do you have matte paint on it? I never noticed until now!

And really nice picture! Do you like Windows Phones? I almost got one but wasn't sure...

$100 worth of Plasti-Dip spray cans. I've had a lot of spray-painting experience, and it only took a day from start to finish to get painted. I'm happy with how it turned out for the price!

I like Windows Phone because it fits what I want to do, which may not be the case for everyone. I like the ease of use, and how messaging and actually *making calls* are at the forefront. I bought the Lumia because of the ludicrously good Nokia cameras, and to use as a media player. For that, it's excellent.

If you want customizability, tonnes of apps, or the latest-and-greatest supercomputer-in-a-pocket specs then I'd steer clear of WP for now and get an HTC One M8 or the new Moto G. It's all up to personal preference, honestly.

I'm pretty impressed with this one considering it was a quick panning shot.

Here it is slightly edited in Snapseed.

Thats rather impressive and cheap!

And the way I looked at it, I already have a Samsung Galaxy Note tablet. My phone isnt used to play games, so it may work well for me. I love a good camera, which my phone isnt bad, but isnt great either.. its something to consider

This one is probably the best of the very few car related ones I have:

I have a lot better non-car related ones.

Taken with an LG Optimus G (13MP camera FTW!)

I've got a few, taken with a couple of different phones. I honestly can't decide which I like best!

Galaxy Nexus: Volvo P1800ES

Galaxy Nexus: Ford Focus RS500 (Okay, the picture's shite, but RS500!)

Nexus 5: Rover Mini City (Poor framing, but I think I wanted my own car in shot for some reason.)

Nexus 5: Jaguar F-Type Coupe(s) (I prefer the white one, but I've better pictures of the black.)

Nexus 5: Triumph Herald

If I had to pick just one... It's gotta be the Volvo.

You can have the best camera in the world and it wont matter. Its all about how you take the picture, not what you take it with. I recently gave a crash course to our friend K-Roll about this, his pictures of the 911 are looking way better now.

And yeah, the Razr HD has a solid camera, no clue what the specs are though, or how it compares to other phones out there.

None of the ones I take with my phone come out great, but this one will have to do. My phone is an HTC One, which I absolutely love, but the camera is only so-so. Which is odd, because every review I read said the camera, which is a different type from most cameras (ultrapixels vs. megapixels, IDK) was excellent.

I'm calling bullshit on all of your "potatoes".

This is from a potato. Lens flare and all. I'm sorry, but your Moto iPhone X 4S is not a potato. My 6 and a half year old Moto Q9m with its focus-lacking 2.0MP camera is a damn potato. Watch and learn from a real potato master.

(I'm being facetious, but at the same time that is my real opinion about potatoes)

Samsung Epic 4g. It's an older phone and it's only got 5 megapixels but when the lighting is right it's capable of some pretty nice shots.

My rental for Pikes Peak, a 2013 Malibu LTZ

Whatever this was, 10/10 would hoon.

This was for the ATS twitter promo. never won the car. :(

I literally squeeled when I saw this, and my girlfriend had no idea why. Parked in front of an REI, of course.

Hell yes.

Another car I squealed at, my girlfriend did too, but then got jealous of the car when i started gawking at it and taking about 100 pictures of it.

I had a better quality version of this one, but my first Gnex died, and all I had was this backup.

The wheel of the car above.

All pics taken on a Galaxy Nexus Potato. Except the last two, those were on a Nexus S 4G Potato Edition.

You got some great pics there! I loved the up close Caddy grille!

Funny thing, at work I have to go out and get shopping cars. The other day, it was me and one other guy. There was a classic Volvo 240- like late 80s in perfect shape. I squealed and took about 20 pictures. He just stood there like I was an idiot.

Whats great is I had the same reaction when someone pulled up in a all blacked out CTS-V Wagon with a manual!

Awesome! Some people just don't get it.

Also, I saw a 242 California Special in downtown Austin, but I never got a picture of it.

But there's a video of the guy trying to sell it!

Shame that no one understands the love for old Volvos, everybody thinks that they're pieces of crap.
