Default I showed her...

My wife and I were out and about last weekend. Went into a shop and they had lots of stuff for sale. Several prints were hanging all over the place but one caught my eye. It was expensively priced, but I asked to view it closer and they pulled it down. Originally painted in '08, this was a signed print. I hate impulse buying, but I had to get it. It's now hanging in the living room.

lol!

Granted I don't know your relationship with your wife, but will it still be there on the other side of the thanksgiving weekend?

I know many people who would find something like this would curiously relocate itself, and an undetermined date.

D A M N ! !

Is that Purely PMD shop in New Mexico at one time ?
Sort of in style of older Ames catalog covers.

Hundreds of hours to create all of that.
Lots of cars involved.

Totally showed her who is the boss , at least for one day.

The artist had to have been a Bird guy. The details are very good and accurate. Definitely not A.I. it would be part camaro and mustang now.

I've been on the hunt of the puzzle by SunsOut for a few years now. I didn't realize there was a print out.

My wife gave me a poster size puzzle of that print. So many cool little details throughout! Took me about a day to put it together and hang it on my wall! LOL…
