Hey everybody! I was out visiting a friend in California City a couple of weeks ago, and discovered this jem of an old service station off the side of the road. It's in great condition - looks to be used for filming and such. That there is no grafitti or vandalism on it seems to support that notion, though the remote locale off of any major thoroughfares also may have come into play. I thought pics of the car would be a great contrast - an old service station from yesteryear and a technologically advanced, modern E60. I'd like your thoughts! Thanks!

PS - I'm not a pro photographer by any means. The camera used is a trusty 2 year old Canon S5 IS. Nothing too special

LMAO!!! A few Actually, I had passengers in the car - my friend and her crumb-snatchers. Add blankets, cases of water, and beach chairs in the trunk, and it does look a bit like dead hooker storage lol. I photoshop'd her out of the pics, but below is one of the original shots:



Thanks everybody! for the kind words! And uh Mel, if you ever want to star in a movie.... Hehe J/K
