There are folks around your area that would shoot pics man. Just gotta go to meets and approach folks with a camera to take a few of your car.

You mean the D2X? To be honest, I cant justify spending an extra two grand on top of the two grand for the D200 for an extra 2 megapixels and wireless transfer capabilities . lol

yeah, well he is a professional photographer/writer for car magazines and used to take pics for Porsche ads. In his basement he has an archive with a few million pictures he took of every Le mans, indy, daytona, seebring, etc. race from 1970-present. its amazing! he said someone offered $1 million for his archive a few years ago and he didnt take it (but he regrets it now).
