Um, that is an XR-7. GS's weren't available in '88 and unless your friend went way out of his way to convert an LS meaning that he added the XR-7 specific pinstripes, blacked out window trim, body colored mirrors, body colored side molding, XR-7 only body colored turbine wheels (speaking '88, excluding the '87 20ths), it's an XR-7.

No where on the Car does it say XR-7 , and not even on the title :S...  Also Weird i have been saying RX-7 woops lol.  IF anyone is interesting I will post new pictures on a real cam.

I'd be interested in a picture under the car from the rear and a better one of the engine compartment.

The problem with your pictures is lighting. Turning the flash on (not auto) or taking them in good sunlight will fix it.

If you can, that'd be great, I'd like to see some better pics of the engine and if you could, some from under it, quarters, wheel wells, and under the rear of it. Interior too.
Those auto focus digi cams are handy. ;)

The data shows the camera was Hewlett Packard M307. Those have an auto focus. I hate to say this, but even the best of camera can still give pictures like that if you don't learn how to use a camera properly.

As mentioned, the lighting was bad and you didn't hold the camera steady enough.

Some of those pictures show a shutter time of 2 seconds. The camera would have needed to be still for the entire 2 seconds. Holding a camera still, that long without any tripod, is difficult. Obviously that didn't happen!

Had he used a flash, or had better light, the shake issue would have been less of an issue. When you have low light, and not using a flash, the shutter has to stay open longer to get the picture. Therefore, you better have a steady hand. Any movement while the shutter is open will produce the results shown in the pictures here.

Still, even the best of cameras can't save all pictures. The photographer has to know how to work the camera, and know some basics in taking pictures.

Anyway, I guess better get back on topic since this isn't a camera/photography thread, nor the forum for such.
