me and the wife took a weekend out to Chincoteague Island for our 5th anniversary. She snapped off some pretty cool pics of the T-Bat so I thought I'd share.

these first two were on the bayside dock as the sun was setting. I really like the puddle reflection.

these next two were shot after dark at memorial park (where the annual pony swim takes place) She did a 30 sec time exposure and on the 1st one some turkey in a Toyota buzzed through the shot...but the effect is kinda cool. Across the water is Tom's Cove campground.

After a day of biking in Assateague National widlife refuge, I returned to find my car covered in pollen and bird poop. I noticed this car wash bearing my namesake on the way in so it seemed natural to grab a quick wash and couple shots while it lasted.

My wife noticed this one as we were standing and snapped it off. I flipped the image so the lettering was right...but I do love this one.

...and last photo but first on my list is my bride of 5 years. She is just the best and has no issues with me and my car habit...and for that alone she is golden, but for all else she does I am very grateful. I could have every car I ever dreamed of but if I didnt have her there would be no happiness. Looking forward to many more honeymoons with her and the T-Bat all over this big country.

Its funny becuase it looks like your car went on a vacation by itself and took pictures.

"Here's me interested in getting a public shower (car wash). Dunno, those guys are kinda abrasive. Got to be careful. Oh, and here's me at the dock. Man, don't my exhaust tips rule?"

Tim's car wash is right off of RT13 on RT175 (Chincoteague Rd)...having a house down there is sweet...the beach on Assateague was beautiful.

Thanks for all the props guys. It has been a great 5 years and looking forward to many more. She does have quite the eye for pics, but since she was an art major in photography i dont suppose that would be a big surprise. I'm just amazed that she doesnt do more of it for a living. She seems very happy burning up her camera for her own pleasure. I guess its like we are with cars.
