The age of the photo is not an issue with this contest (Winter rules apply) but editing, other than cropping, IS NOT allowed.
Your Monte MUST be included somewhere in your photo.

Ready, Set, GO!!!

not sure why I have a FB style like button, but I clicked it
Thinking by the name, that is a historic site

Mel, what color is your MC, it reminds me of mine. You are way ahead of me in customizing but I have only owned mine for a little more than a year

Cool

This is a pretty cool subject, I studied Architecture in College the instructor I had was a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, he was all about ascetics in a presentation drawing.
So I made the drawing as if you were looking out of the Forest Pines at the building, had the pine needles and the branches that blocked the view of the building partially. Got a great score on that one.

This Subject is the Chevrolet dealer in my home town.
I designed this facility in 1984 and was the project supervisor for it.

Then we Flash forward to the new look of the Chevy Dealerships and my son who is a Construction Mgr. worked on this facility upgrade.

It's sort of a loose subject. Looking through my archives, I'm having a hard time choosing. It could mean bridges - I got a lot of bridges. But I'm thinking historical landmark building kinda...

I studied architecture in college as well and am currently working in the field.

I agree, it is kind of a loose subject but I figured that'd be a good thing to allow more options.

Shawn its just I guess arctic white and yes I have owned mine since new 10 years now so its takes some time unless you have loads of money to mod out your car. I have owned my Grand Prix for 19 years now and I have just about done everything except internals on the engine.

In front of Domino's Farms Office Park in Ann Arbor - home of Domino's Pizza World Headquarters and parts of the UofM Health System. Built in 1985, the building is currently 1-million square feet and sits on a 270-acre site NE of Downtown Ann Arbor. Originally two individual linear buildings, they were linked in 2004 making it the the World's longest linear office structure (almost 1 kilometer). It also has the World's largest copper-covered roof (423k SF).

Surprisingly I don't have much in this category - this shot is from the same shoot as my "Flags" submission.
