I was thinking more along the lines of...."One day you will take over this business we have built."

If I may offer some suggestions.

This photo is possibly suffering from 2 things. Blues tend to jump out (in other colors) when your white balance is off, or when you have too much saturation going on in a photo. Notice the Silver Grey car now looks blue water metallic, that would be this effect happening.

If you are using lightroom or raw editor in PS, it's a very easy fix by either 1. adjusting the white balance properly, 2. not raising the overall saturation too high or 3. working with each color individually. Personally I would start with white balance and move on from there but here are examples of all 3.

"auto" white balance (if it was a raw image you could use more settings than just auto)
Attachment 8594

overall reduction of saturation by -30
Attachment 8592

individual reduction in saturation of blue by -50 and luminance by -25
Attachment 8593

Thanks for the info....I didn't do much besides crop it, I think my polarizing filter was on when I took it though. Looks a ton better after you tweaked it.

if that is the case you need to check your camera settings as your saturation is through the roof. also per the white balance you should make sure you're either on auto or that you are changing it with changing light conditions. the polerizing filter could be a little of the issue but would likely make the photo darker before it made it over saturated in blue.

Good info, I'll look into that right now. Maybe my color settings are off or something. Only been running the 7D for a couple months now.

Here's one I managed to sneak in with my ///M and Lucy ;)
