It was with chagrin and some guilt that we brought the Purple Minivan in to be traded in as a Clunker for a new Yaris. The Purple Minivan had given us 165,000 miles of service--vacation and soccer games, shopping trips and expeditions, even served as a rolling advertisement for our son's first business. But two kids have flown the nest and one is one the edge, stretching her wings. We don't need a big car anymore, and we sure do need to save on mileage. Outside the dealership is this rather striking come-on for the Clunkers program. I used Posterize with Chalk and Charcoal to pump up the drama.

That's a different take on the clunker displays I've seen in front of local dealerships! My grandson would be so impressed! Nice processing on the shot--it worked very well.
ReplyDeleteNow that is the coolest clunker image I have seen to date! Bye, bye purple van! I saw your new car on facebook, looks like a nice one. We downsized a little too, from a SUV to a Honda Accord, not the smallest, but we are still hauling kids.
ReplyDeleteThis sure grabs one's attention, I like how you simplified it. I'm not sure how I feel about ok cars being ruined.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is some advertisement! Glad to hear you got such good use out of your minivan! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sad, I don't think that I could have stood around and watched it.
