Ha!
Good one!
Is this your car? You have a clean, clean car then!
(If not, sorry... someone else has a clean, clean car then).
And your weather is nice!
(And I must still pm you).

Cool. Is the curving distortion due to a wide angle lens or is it because you were moving and the way a focal plane shutter works?

its prolly cuz the windshield is curvedddd

I'm amazed how sharp those reflections can be. One guy posted a reflection from the side once and it looked great. Only the windows acted as a mirror to.

Where the tree overlaps the monument (I won't comment on it

) it looks slightly odd. It's just a trick of the light, I know.

Well done Jon. Again!

Keep taking pictures of it, it's interesting all the angles you find.
