Very funny title :-) This guy really looks like Liam Neeson! Great capture Sirley. Frederic

In the old days, mom would go into a store to go shopping and we were left in the car to entertain ourselves. We, being my older brother and I. He made up every game he could where he could punch me. One of them was, name the car first or get punched. LOL So ever since then I've always paid attention to what car was what. I can recall this one fairly good because I graduated from HS in 73. A friend got one and I didn't have the heart to tell them I didn't like it. LOL Now days it's a lot harder to tell them apart! But, I keep trying to guess before I can see the emblems. Thanks for the nice comments too!

I like how you have framed this keeping the extremes of the car out, this brings a good balance between the car and the cyclist. I love too this bright blue and the lazy guy (if he gets a little more relaxed, he goes to fall down from the bike!) endika

Just have to add, I like the way the parked car looks like it's going faster than the guy on the bike! :) Oh, and cropping the ends works- in your 3/4 shot it just doesn't look right, as it does(n't) in person.

Holy cow Shirley - you really know your cars! I put in 73 ford mustang into google and you are exactly correct.



What threw me was the long line from the rear window (vs the short one of the Shelby) and the missing lower line on the door. Thanks for helping me out!

Yes about a 73 Fastback as I recall. They made them gigantic and long for a while there. Then they made the Mustangs really ugly and small for a spell and finally they saw the error of their ways, trying to mess around with a classic never works, and back they went to the present day Mustangs that really look like a Mustang! LOL I'll put another look at it in the Originals gallery

You got the Liam Neeson for sure. Great composition Shirley.

I have to admit I know next to nothing about cars - but is that a Mustang?

Looks like he'd be more comfortable in that mustang... or maybe an SUV, but that bike looks tiny on him... hmm, wonder if the bike is borrowed while he's saving up for the next tank of gas?
