Nice pictures!
Just a quick note about getting images down small: There's a utility made by Ulead called "smart saver". It's a Photoshop plug-in that also works with PaintShop Pro. I swear by it. It allows you to get your images as small as possible (byte-wise) while retaining the image dimensions and controlling the quality. It lets your preview the results in real-time so you can make informed decisions about the quality level. Smartsaver could have taken the large-format versions of those Vette photos and made them under 100k.
For anyone doing a lot of image-converting to go to the web, I highly recommend Ulead SmartSaver.
