OTWeb: Best picture ever.
There are car pics, and then there are CAR PICS. This picture, which I grabbed from a Jspek picture thread, is probably one of my favorite pictures of all time. There are so many different interpretations from this, I don’t even know where to begin.
What’s your interpretation?
