After literally years of nagging dad to get rid of his borderline dangerous old Toyota, he finally caved in and traded it in on a Mercedes GLA 250! Talk about a big difference! This little thing is peppy to drive, quick to handle, has a luxurious interior, and it’s bright red!  (and it won’t kill you on the interstate…which is a nice feature also)

It’s been a few years since I’ve actually gone out with the sole purpose of taking pictures of a car.  That’s unfortunate because I really enjoyed it when I lived in florida.  I had locations scouted all throughout Bremerton and Port Orchard, however when we arrived downtown all of the roads I wanted were blocked off for a St. Patrick’s Day parade. We tried a few spots, but they were all terrible.  Eventually we made it back to Port Orchard mostly empty handed and tried a few parks and industrial areas.  Apparently most of the buildings up here are painted a yellow tinted shade of beige.  This color looks fine against orange, blue, or neutral cars, but looks like complete crap with bright red.  I did get a few photos I find acceptable, but they’re not really what I wanted.  Hopefully I’ll have time next weekend to try the parking garage I really wanted to hit up today.
