Long story, as short as possible. While looking for pictures of Epsilon wheels on an e9 for a member of the forum, I found a bunch of images of my coupe. I was surprised how many there were. One of images caught my eye, my car but with a background I didn't recognize. I looked closer and realized it was a painting. I know my car, the color, the stance, the Style 5s, even the exhaust tip were all the same. I guess there's an outside chance it's someone else's car but I'm pretty positive it's mine. I started digging around and found the artist, her medium is realism and her work is amazing. Everything from classic cars, to houses, beach life, to food. I love modern art, and after spending some time on her website, I am a fan. Her number was listed, so I called her to ask about the coupe painting. Surprising, she called me back. I awkwardly asked her how she picked her subject matter and told I'm pretty sure It's my car. She said she found the picture on the internet, she loves blue, and her and her husband love e9s. The painting was listed for $1500 but she said she wanted me to have it for free. She loved the fact that it might be going to the actual owner of the car. I told her that I couldn't let her give it to me and offered her a fair number.

Anyway, it's now hanging in my office.
