There is, of course, the idea of a vehicle being a tool for transporting people from one place to another. In my opinion a tool is anything humans use that is not built into our bodies. It's amazing how many people narrowly define words when there are all sorts of other meanings. I bet the people that did not consider this a tool would gladly label a forklift or tractor a tool. *sigh*
Needless to say, this is a great shot of a tool. |

| Good creative shot for the challenge. There's story here which is lacking in quite a few of the shots in this challenge. |

| I like the shot and the sky. Only drawback is that it took me a few seconds to identify what was in the picture. Maybe if the shot were angle differently while keeping the sky reflections and the flag visible... |

| Lovely shot, and I have a weakness for the 64-67 vettes. Not too sure about the background clutter, but I know there's nothing you can do about it. Well done! |

| This is a superb shot of a car, but I do not consider cars to be tools. The reflections are really nice. Great contrast and clarity. Nice composition and crop. But this is IMO not a tool. |

Very nice reflections, but not sure this says "tools" to me.

| I think you should have taken this from a bit lower and got rid of the background stuff, which I find rather distracting. |
