I'm a Southern California boy, born in 1946, and a lifelong car nut, so at that specific level this pushes a lot of buttons for me. I grew up in the golden years of Hot Rodding, and I follow them to this day. I can't say this is an especially original image, but it sure as heck addresses the challenge, it's technically accomplished, and the bravado of the rotated angle works here, so I gave it an 8. Commenting only now.
Stunning sharpness despite the speed... very well done! The classic car with it's clear colours, the reflection and the diagonal lines make it even more awesome. This will end up on the front page!
