    Re: Merry Christmas from the Central Coast!

    Thanks, I feel very lucky to live where I do. Just got some trunk lid lights off ebay to experiment with .... in awhile. Don't know if I'll black them out or ????? I have kids so the four-door really comes in handy. I used to think coupes were the best looking, but I've changed my mind, lol. The rims are Spoon copycats, Rota Slipstreams, 16x7 steel grey w/ a polished lip. Got em off ebay for about $400! The seller has more if you're interested. They weigh 13 pounds.

    Re: Merry Christmas from the Central Coast!

    Exhaust is a ss Borla universal muffler and oval tip. Very quiet w/ a nice muted rumbly tone. Back of muffler is painted black so the tip stands out more.

    Yeah that pic is TIZZIGHT!!! Truly magnifique, aye?

    You central coast boys got it on in terms of the scenery...

    But S.F. ain't too shabby neither, I'll just post that pic of a demented crack-smoking hobo over on Market Street droppin' a duce on the hood of an Accord outside that porno theater..."Now that's scenery!!!"

    Re: Merry Christmas from the Central Coast!

    Thanks for the props. It's easy taking good pics when you have a nice model, lol. I used to be a photographer so going and looking for locations is still a lot of fun and very relaxing.
    Fushi, the camera is just an old Kodak 3.2 megapixel. What I think makes or breaks a photo is angle and background, not necessarily the camera.
    I love the way the 3g looks at certain angles; other angles it looks just OK. I try to frame the car with a clean background or an interesting background to tie into the main subject. That way the pic tells more of a story and adds a little more flavor to the pic w/out being disruptive. I try and see if the background will ADD to and not distract from the main subject.
    Happy shooting!

    Re: Merry Christmas from the Central Coast!

    Thanks for the advice

    Your old Kodak takes nice shots, since the pic is not blurry at all, and very sharp.
    With my Nikon Coolpix, the picture taken is a little blurry, and I have to sharpen it using Photoshop.
    I think it's time for me to buy another camera... Christmas soon

    Again, thanks for the great photos, you sure have nice scenery in the Central Coast

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM
