If you follow my antics and rounds you show know that a I blog about all sorts of stuff. I love adventures, add in cars and it gets to be even better.This weeks addition to the old experience bucket is a day long drive in a Mustang Bullitt. Long story short. In July I got to spend sometime in a 2010 Camaro. I was impressed and said when it launches the base Mustang will be a gelding in comparison. Ford didn't appreciate it. They dropped me a note and let me know I was probably a little harsh and offered up a GT500 to prove the Mustang still has it. No GT500's exist right now but they had a Bullitt. They asked if I would settle for that. HELL YESSSSS!!!! Full story on what I think about the Bullitt will be up on metblogs later today.
The image was shot up on the Angeles Crest. I can tell you that the Bullitt was made for that highway. No stress, no fuss, no constant shifting, just pick a gear and carve up the curves on the twisties. Lawdy be...if I could get rid of the Dad car I'd opt for the Bullitt.
Anyway what better way to illustrate a surreal day than HDR? I shot this frame overlooking downtown LA from up on the crest bracketed +/- 2 stops from average. Photomatix was used for the HDR file generation and tonemapping. The final image was run through virtual photographer to heighten the saturation a bit more.
Enjoy the image. Do click it for a slightly bigger version...and note you can even see downtown in the fog. More images in my flickr Bullitt set.

FM, I love that color!
Did u get a tix for no license plate?
Driving this with MH doing the wild thing in the next seat would be de best.
Thanks Miss Havisham.
de Cafe, no worries the car had its "manufacturer plate" in the rear. The only officer that stopped us was curious about the car and the photo shoot, not a missing front plate!
