PITA! I hate shooting black cars. The top one got colored in 4 layers (sky, BG mountains, FG, and car). Spent about an hour on that one. Every shot gets a levels adjustment. The bottom one I corrected for the car, and made the sky a little wonky as a result. I've got to take another swing at that one.

The only way I've found to get nice shots is to park in open shade, and overexpose 1/2 stop. Then dial that back down in Photoshop.
