Took a few quick shots of my 93 500e with my iPhone this afternoon at a park here in Louisville. I thought the photos turned out fairly well for a phone/camera. Enjoy.

Hey what are you saying about Smoke Silver ?

Not saying anything bad about it at all. I just quite like the Bornite too and if I bought that salvage smoke silver car then I wouldn't feel so bad about changing the color
