Post by: Mongo on March 16, 2016, 23:18:34: Mongo loves this one Ron.

The captured relationship between the car and the woman for that instant is priceless. She seems more coy than embarrassed (as if the car had paid her a compliment). She is also just so dressed correctly for this car.

The car itself is a fabulous curvaceous piece of art.

only CC - consider cloning out the partial writing at top of image (and maybe even the small frame on the right)

Nice to know that Javok is also suitably curvaceous ;D
