I took the time to read your editing steps. Had a chuckle over the idea of doing it in b/w and then slapping yourself on the head. I would blame it on the coffee.
Nice bold colors that pop in this one. Unfortunately, it's the classic 5 for me. For some reason I can't quite nail down, it is not having a huge amount of appeal to me, but it's not a bad shot either. There are some modest jaggies visible around the edge of the car. A different resizing method may have helped there. Perhaps it is that the umbrella and car hood are both partially cut off at the edge of the frame. I do like the story that is told by this shot.
