Hi Mex

That is your fault. You should have inquired first and secondly, you should have told them that the photos are ok but you do not need the car.

WTF....$6500. Were they selling you shares of the business as well or what? Good thing you walked away. You can hire any professional for $400 - 500 and do a complete shoot in 2 hrs.
