I had the same question about trucks... what exactly is an automobile? I thouht car - not bus or truck. Van? Well probably... where is the boundary? Good question.

"A self-propelled passenger vehicle that usually has four wheels and an internal-combustion engine, used for land transport." From dictionary.com

I can't believe people are saying buses and trucks aren't automobiles. Of course they are! Geez, people!

yeah, but how come a bus isn't an automobile? The tired eyes thing sounds great & I wish it was true. There has been a strange turn in positive & ethical voting as of late that has erked me to the max.

I hereby decree that I have personally examined every single shot in the PT&A challenge, and I have found that every one, without exception, contains an adequate representation of either a Plane, a Train, or an Automobile, or a combination of the above. Therefore, every shot in this challenge "meets the challenge."

Now, no one has to worry about it anymore. Every shot is fine. Vote on the picture.
