Hah! Finally spotted two flaws on your 66 CAG.
The ding at the front of the drivers side door handle and your license plate is crooked. Lol!
I still think your car is just gorgeous.
Have a great day.

Next challenge: YVWNT In a reflection of a car door. Preferably a black car. Bonus points if the pic has the photographer reflected in the door as well.[b/]

Ironically, the silver VW passat reflected in Cali-army-guys black car is his own, so technically he completed the challenge before it was made.

Ohh, so close... this one doesn't count as I took it yesterday (and it's not with the gratuitous money shot) but a good picture with a '90s Cabrio filling up next door:

Sorry it's all dark but it was about the only time the road was calm enough to stop and take these pics.
If accepted, the next challenge is: Your VW next to a factory of some kind. Bonus points for a factory that makes auto related items.
