lol it so doesnt need to be 149K polys. Lets see an unsmoothed wire cause I think that your large flat surfaces could be severly trimmed back in terms of polys. And in the render cars are not that reflective (they'd be a danger on the road if they were user added image

) I know it's a test render but still user added image
