nice image of the front fender (or skirt) does look like it has seen better days. the title is what makes this work..I would have liked it more if it felt more on topic.
I'm not really sure I see the vision of the nightmare for this shot but the overall shot is not bad. Good focus, nice lighting. It does make me think a little of Christine, the Steven King Novel but doesn't really inspire any fear.
I'm not sure how others are viewing this, but I'm giving it a 9. I love the composition. I used to drive a car that looked about this hard to keep running! It was indeed a nightmare.
From the little that's shown it's hard to tell, but the car looks like a classic that would be worth restoring. The rust makes for interesting textures.
