What you are looking at here is an old ufo-shaped building that has been a car dealership, a restaurant, a house, and a storage building. Now sadly abandoned, it's just rotting out in the elements. It's been there at least 25 years, maybe longer. It's out in the middle of nowhere between Royse City and Quinlan, TX.
Now that I look at it, it makes me think that this is the spaceship that Cousin Eddie would fly if there were to be a "Space Vacation" movie. "Now that there's an RV alien spacecraft." ;)
I figure 5.6 because it at least meets the challenge. I've had such a string of sucky scores that a 5.6 would be awesome at this point. Give a girl a break, voters! :)

I drove past this once about 5 or 6 years ago. Can't quite recall exactly where it is, though I know it is a few miles east of Dallas. Good choice for this challenge.
Man I love this shot, it looks like i could have been lifted straight from the pages of a 1950's magazine. Great entry for the challenge and brilliantly executed
Wow thats a really cool [building?]. I like the sepia tone, it gives it that old area 51 feeling. And i like how you captured the textures and small details.
