What did you do with your Z today

kenchan

it really depends on the tech doing the alignment and how well the machine is caliberated. often times i only go to alignment shops by word of mouth of other car guys getting similar cars aligned.

luckily more and more speedshops in my area have alignment equipment since they install coilovers, etc. so they know how to handle my modded cars better than just some guy at some local mechanics shop.

your dealer can do it, but sometimes they will scratch or even wash your car even if you tell them not to.

Hahaha!! I had forgotten about the dealer washing my car! You've had that happen too haven't you Kensan?

Thanks. I'll have to set something up with them on one of my days off.

I always take my car in clean and the guys at the dealership once said to me "hope you don't mind, but we didn't bother to wash it because we would have made it dirtier than when you dropped it off".

yah, im definitely going to get the manfrotto as recommended by nick and nitex... but im not sure which one's better for me so still searching around.

im still thinking about getting the short table top one first cause even though the large tripods can be interveted for low angle shots, the only time im going to be using my tripod outside is when im motoring my Z... which mean only needed for very low-angle shots. the table top one is like the size of a dollar billl so i'll fit in my gear bag.

the crappy tripod i have already will do basically everything else i need it to do... im just not sure how long the thing will last so i'll probably look into it deeper when the thing finally fails.

If you're going to get a table top tripod just make sure that it(and the head if there's a separate one) can support the weight of your camera properly so it doesn't fall over!

hello, mr.onzede!

no self-portraits, i do not need to be reminded of bad news each time i look at my computer.

im going to use it to get very low angle shots of my cars.


will do! the one sold at amazon appears to be able to hold wat looks like a full sized DSLR.
