A couple years ago I came over a spine and there where 4 of them sitting on the back side. They where lucky I didn't hit them, they went about 120 and I weigh 250. I would have pancaked them. I have two sets of snow blades, an old set that I got when they first came out and another set 2 years old.

I almost went with the Pilot Super Sports for their higher treadwear but this forum made me change my mind and get RE-11's :tup:

Thanks guys!!! Yeah I got tired of Ken asking me where my DSLR is... LOL... take THAT. :D Pics look a little better Ken? I didn't even shoot those in RAW mode :ugh2:

As for the leather bra, HAHA... don't worry, you guys aren't the ONLY ones giving me a hard time about that. Essentially, I had blue tape over the clear bra, then the leather bra on top of that. Why? Because I'm utterly ridiculous. LOL. I now think that my clear bra is like my paint, hence I must protect it further.... Aren't I terrible? I know I have issues..... :bowrofl:


That STi is my buddy's... his is a 2011, mods include an Invidia exhaust (same as mine), then a stage 1 accessport. Sounds mean. He plans a stage 2 next.

ive not shot in RAW mode yet. i'll see how the D3100's decoder compares vs photoshop element's processing. at my level i dont think it's going to make much of a difference.... i have other issues (exposure, focus area, metering) to worry about first. :icon14:

Yeah I hear ya... I shot a few of those shots last night in aperture mode, some in shutter mode, some in full auto. I'm not good at it by any means... I just shoot and play, I guess. That's the beauty of digital shots, just keep shooting! And when all else fails, just put it in auto. It gets in right 85-90% of the time.

Hit a wet spot while changing lanes at highway speed and the car gave me a wicked tank-slapper that must have looked something like what we saw at Silverstone two weeks ago. Resolved to order my RE-11's next paycheck.

Upon purchasing a new caliper retaining bolt from my local Nissan dealer, (yeah, I lost one due to my absentminded, distracted reassembly :facepalm:) I realized that my jack will no longer slide past the FI exhaust to reach the rear differential on my now lower car. So it's off to Home Depot to get some 2X10's to drive the car up onto.

Had bath time this morning.

Although, Z related story, I gave my 2 year old a blue and red 370z hotwheel I got for him as I dropped him off a daycare today. As he was sitting in the back seat playing, he goes, "This like daddee's car?". I said, "Yes! That IS like daddy's car! It's a Nissan!". (saying "370Z" is probably still too long for him). He looks up, smiles, and proceeds to say, "I like Nissan's cars!"... perfect grammar and everything. Cracked me up. I have him trained well.

btw, i didn't really get to motor my car that much over the weekend... :( too much storms with debris everywhere. even managed to get a sesame sized ding in the bumper. :crying: she was perfect until that... now it's time to motor like hell starting this weekend. :stirthepot: :D

By the way Ken, you are scaring me with your knowledge of f stops and metering and exposures. All this in a span of a couple of weeks of you getting your DSLR? dang... you learn fast! I'm not even that well versed, and I've had my DSLR for 2 years... lol.

So my wife was playing with him as I was doing dishes, and I hear him say loudly to her "No MAMA!!! That's Daddy's car!!!", as I see him take the car away from his mom.

HAHA.... nothing like a protective son....esp when it comes to cars. :icon18:
