I hear ya! I was running on fumes myself as we were at the hospital all day with my daughter and her husband. They were having our first grandchild (grandaughter). Woot... I am too young to be a "Big Da".

XXX-MiniVan Parking-XXX

Hang in there bro! Hope she is feeing better and up and around soon!!!

So this isn't a total thread jack... I moved the Zs out of the garage to get to the lawn mover and such so I can get my cores done early to day and possibly work on my front 15mm spacers this evening. :tup:

CONGRATS GRAND PA! :tup: that's awesome. :tup: thanks yah, we will be fine, thanks. :p

15mm spacers sounds :yum:

Congrats!!! :tup:

Realized i prefered my stillen exhaust ><

And congrats on the new grandchild Beach!

Ken, the canon t2i and t3i are looking pretty good for the price.. I still think i prefer Nikon though, i sold my D3000 and im thinking ill pick up the D90 nikon or t3i cannon. Also glad to hear you wife is doing well :tup:

yah, D3100 / D550 (Rebel t2i) are my main candidates right now.

thanks for the thoughts. :tup:

Thanks everyone! The hospital visiting now. :)

I prefer Nikon too. We have 4 Nikon bodies.

yeah, my Nikon D3000 took excellent pictures. I just need a better LCD on the back, i didnt need the tilt feature.

Took a picture of the Zs behind!

Congrats Beach you old man, LOL gramps can I ride in your z? O sorry the walker is in the passanger seat. :stirthepot: OMG we're back to camera's again, another 20 pages of shutter bug talk LOL.

well your matte black rear spoiler lost interest real quick so... :tup:

your car looks great... but my droidx can take pictures like this in cloudy weather... not convinced! :icon17: ;) :inoutroflpuke:

Your wing envy is showing thru Ken, man you have a great memory to remember that I have a flat black wing. :tiphat: Your still a posting ho:excited:

All finished with the clay bar and wax.

I thought today was supposed to be more sunny. Oh well these still came out good.

Looks nice Demb, but I think you might get introuble with the admin. for posting a$$ shots of your girl.:shakes head:

haha ken this was taken from my HTC thunderbolt... garbage i know!

FromG2Z - its the HKS Hi power exhaust.

hahaha! :icon18: yah my Mines should be here in a week's time so i wont feel as inferior to matte black rear spoiler any longer. :D

i remember a lot of things. :p keeps me out of trouble...(usually).



demflyer- lookin' good! :tup:

Mr. Kenchan, I am happy your wife is better.

It's been 2 weeks since I've driven my car:mad:

I'm picking it up today...and it's going straight into my garage since it has no exhaust. It's SO loud! The whole interior rattles. I ordered a 3" HKS titanium muffler yesterday and should have the custom exhaust done next week.

VROOM VROOM!


Drove mine to work 2 days in a row. Been so hot and the ice cold ac in the Z is nice.

thank you, mr. onzedge. i am accumulating browny (or mochi) points at accelerated rate. :tup:


WAAT??! :icon17:

Yummm mochi!

Lmao

Hahaha, your killing me... Damn it, now I have to go change my depends.

Beach you can store a couple extra depends behind the seat. Actually I realized that I'm old enough to have grandkids (44). Thank god I'm single without rug rats LOL:tup: Soo Beach what kind of camera are you going to use to take pics of the new one? :stirthepot: There aren't enough camera posts here already, right Ken?:leghump:

Sent the car to Nissan to get the fuel sending units replaced. Maybe I won't run out of gas now when I have 50 miles left on the tank!

lol... i did mention i was getting the camera AFTER getting the mine's installed. :p hope to have tracking# from tarzan or watever his name is soon... maybe it can be my weekend install project.

i HOPE i dont get some raw CF again like the Ings... :ugh2::ugh2::ugh2: :rofl2:

i usually start thinking about filling up after she passes the 1/2 mark. usually before 1/4 im at the pump. :tup:

Actually to be honest, I think u can blame ken's obsession with cameras lately because of me :) right ken? If not, maybe I am giving myself too much credit. LOL

LOL thought you would like that. :pics: Hey just think if it is raw you can use a tinted clear (ok that is an oxymoran). You could give it a more silver look.:ughdance:

From we do try not to encourage Ken but hey what can ya do?:wtf2:

lol yah you started all of this, that's true. then other started chiming in and im like 'damn, i really need to get this thing...!!! :excited:' i spend all this time keeping my cars clean, getting bits and post up crappy over exposed pictures with all sorts of digital noise... :ugh2: that's just dumb.

I hear you, getting a digital camera was the best investments I've ever made. as soon as you get 1 then you get to use it you realize how in the world did you ever live without it.

Yeah, I only have a couple of years on you. Can't imagine how you have dodged the bullet this long.


Geeez, at least he didn't mention the "M" word. I think there are more Mustang threadjacks than Photography threadjacks. :stirthepot:

I shoot a D3. My wife and I have a photography business on the side.

Soo you have an alterior motive Beach. Sell Ken a good camera.:stirthepot: For me there are two M words, marrige(funeral) and mustange(rustange)

I didn't get a chance to try one out since ive not had time, but I just placed an order for the D3100 with some filter kit that comes with a uv filter, circular polarizer and ND filter was it(?) by tiffen ... Along with a 16GB class10 SD and a case by some maker I didn't know. All had good reviews so I trust they are solid. Lol. :D should have them in my hands Fri or Sat. :p

Nice! :tup: perfect for the new member of the family. :D


I'm going to play with the D3100 for a few yrs to get some experience and then get a nice camera if I can prove to myself I'm worthy. :rolleyes::ugh2::rofl2::icon14:

I have to vent... I went to pick up my car from the shop on Thursday so I could take it to Orlando for a photoshoot with a well known company this past weekend. I was told on Wednesday that I could pick it up. I arrived Thursday afternoon and my right rear tire was flat with 2 nails in it.

To make a long story short, I went to pick up the car today after being told the tire would be patched on Monday... STILL a flat tire! That's 80 miles of driving and a planned photoshoot wasted.

:shakes head:That sux. Or should I say they sux. I'd be sure to tell everybody in your area what happened. They should have fixed the tire on Thurs. or sent it to a tire shop to fix it. It would only take a few minutes for a tire shop to fix it. I would think the shop would take a little initiative and get it fixed before you showed up the first time.

Yah, unless the shop doesn't have tire mounting equipment that sounds pretty lame.
Althought I would never trust dismount/mounting tires anywhere local other than a few places near me.

Excellent Ken you wont regret the purchase. Taking a great shot is pretty exciting. Im still pumped over a shot I got of my Z over the weekend.

@Ken- I think that is a perfect starter DSLR. You will have a lot of fun with it. Some of my favorite shots that I have ever taken were with my D50.

@Intrigue- Sorry about your issues. Some of my biggest headaches have surrounded tire mounting... even on my TwinTurbo when I put the 18s on it.

@Fire- I try not to be too biased. I love the images that Canon DSLRs produce and they have awesome glass. I just find that the menus and controls on the Nikon are easier for a new shutterbug to pick up on. More intuitive if you will.

Well here is the update part. I got up this morning and installed my front spacers. The car is at the final stance with the exception of rear camber adjustment. That will probably happen next week with the installation of new rear tires. Hmmm, somehow the fronts look new and the rears are toast. Guess I neet to keep the VDC on more often. :ugh2:


Here are a couple of quick shots...
