Further explaination of the theme as described by DarkR.

"This time you are going to use cars from the three major American automakers (Ford, Dodge,
Chevrolet). In the pictures must appear at least two cars, one for each creator, for example
you can take a picture of a showdown between Ford and Chevrolet, Ford and Dodge, Chevorlet
and Dodge etc. Also, you can try to recreate the triple threat (three cars one per company)
between the three companies.

Remember the basics of this, a minimum of two cars, one for each company or you can try
the triple threat.

That's it, good luck and have fun. 👍


Cars: Any car from Dodge, Ford or Chevrolet except NASCAR.
Locations: Any.
Phototravel: No.
Unique Restrictions: See above and NO NASCAR.

    with it.
