I am trying to vectorize this with AI CS3 Live Trace but I am not having any luck. I know the image is crap but maybe somehere would have better luck! Thanks in advance!

louroberto,

  I did not look at the file that was posted for you but if you are using CS3 try doing the auto trace but then go in with the individual selection tool that is the white arrow and you can select individual nodes and adjust them or you could blow the pic up and use the pen tool and trace it manually that usually is the quickest if its not overlly complicated.

Corel x3 is what I used. Basically all i did was import and turned to grayscale, then black and white.

Adjusted the tone curve to include the lighter portions of the car. Once it was nice and dark, I erased

everything but the car outline. Traced it, then cleaned it up a bit. Retyped the font myself using Impact font,

which was the closest I had.

Basically took about 15 minutes or so.
