Haha... on topic, I ghetto-rigged my camera to my steering wheel (upside down) with masking tape to record various "before" videos yesterday. A good video for comparision is probably the 3rd gear pull to redline from 50 MPH.

if i would've gunned it a second or two earlier, that flushatoilet would've been broadsided and really flushed down the toilet. so i saved the boy's life... yet he still floored the living crap out of his flushatoilet after we passed the intersection going well over 80 in a 35mph zone. these kids just dont get it. hummm...im a busy guy. my G looks like a moving pile of crap right now with all the grime from the last few days of rain. naw, she actually looks pretty clean cause rain sheets off of it thanks to my sealant... but needs a nice wash tonight fo sure.

i probably use masking tape the most ouf of all tapes i use. it's great. unlike duct tape no residue, easy to cut with your fingers, pretty strong for temporary solution, etc. |

Woke up at 7am and spent 4 and a half hours detailing her.

worked on tweaking the midlevel and shadows on the picts i took over the weekend on my new macbook. i think CLP's the way to go in the hot sun as i can get more saturation and easier to control the levels later on in photoshop. (thanks mr.onzedge!) with just the UV filter im finding that i need to add saturation later by a slight bit as exposure is too high, camera looses definition between the shadow areas (like around the wheelwell, tire side wall, wheel spokes, etc).
cant wait to try taking picts this weekend in raw and try editing that next week...as it might be just the camera's decoding that's causing this. |

Lol, my first car was a 1984 300zx 2+2 MANUAL. What a rust bucket!!! I loved it though and it sparked a life long love for Z cars. Drove that girl into the ground.

My daughter's first car was an 86 Z31 5spd, loaded, even the "Bitchen Betty". She came home from school for xmas her freshman year and spun it into a crepe myrtle on xmas eve. She was fine but the front of the Z bent to the radiator. Kept it for two years until I found the right new home for it. Young kid in the club bought a similar car to find the engine was toast. He swapped the drive train out of ours and just got it running about two months ago. Another great save.
