The vinyl shape tool only does gloss colors which is dumb. Also annoying is it won't render a black vinyl over the satnav antenna. Here's a paint booth shot without as much reflections, probably the best it can do since there's no reflections from track scenery and such:

Rainier Loop Drive 6/16
 
For those interested in the Rainier Loop Drive the weather looks iffy for Wednesday. Hopefully there is improvement. I'll post up tomorrow night with a determination.

Saturday's meet would have been fun, wish I could have made it.

Wednesday won't work for me. Our CFO is in town so I can't play hooky that day.

Last Saturday I opted to go to a bar to watch the soccer match instead. After waiting an hour for a beer the waitress rudely told me they were out of glasses and I needed to order something in a bottle. Fail. I'm not making the same mistake next weekend. :)

Not looking particularly good for Wednesday...:(

Not a bad decision to postpone the loop drive. That is today's photo of the Paradise parking lot.

Side note different subject:

I found a "gold mine" of Redline product at CarQuest in Renton across from the Renton airport. For a case of oil, 4 quarts tranny fluid and 3 quarts for the diff ~ $236.

Can't wait to change it all out.

Quick question: How much was just the case of 5W30? I may try and see if a closer Carquest can order the stuff.

Nikon FM 06-20-2010 06:55 PM

I think it was <$10 a quart. I was in a "candy store" and really can't remember the exact prices.

Yeah, used the seat out of my old Triumph TR7, adjusts fully for short runts like me to my 6'3" buddy. I actually learned to left foot brake very well using the wheel/pedal setup, I drive my auto tranny Titan that way and surprised my friend my first time karting, need a third leg for the Z though. I used to race in weekly league events on XBL with Sim Racing HD and a defunct league called Virtual Motorsports Racing League, not so much since December though....:happydance:

I know next to nothing about the slim...how is it? I'm on my second xbox, it's gone a year and a half with no RROD:ugh2:, is the new slim supposed to be RROD-free?

Yo AZN do u play gear of war 2 online??? and if u do r u good??

let me know man

azn370z 06-22-2010 12:06 AM

I sold my first xbox to an employee, which got the rrod, then I bought the jasper xbox but traded it in before it got the rrod. Ebgames is supposed to call me when they get more slims in stock. I got $170 from eb for my xbox, 20gb, and wifi. The slim uses less power and runs cooler so hopefully it doesn't break down.

I'm not that great of a player so I do better in horde mode than usual online play, but it must been at least a year and a half since i played gears 2. When I pick up my slim I will create a new online account. If you guys have a ps3 mine is aznguy350z

Jonathan Vach 06-23-2010 02:00 AM

all right man...well i do have a ps3 but all i do with it jus watch a DVD lol...and play god of war 3 on it. Well if u decide to play Gears 2 online let me know man.

hope i can make to the next meeting:tup:

Just sold my 2010 Grabber Blue GT500 Shelby and bought a 2010 370Z Platinum Graphite last night at closing. I paid invoice and did a straight trade. My car was paid for so I own this one too. First post on this forum and would like to go on some drives with other owners.

tjlazer 06-29-2010 11:39 AM
