hello fellow photographer . i just finished four years of shooting with a film SLR at school. i love photography but i now have a problem... i no longer have the capability to process my own film, not to mention film is just about dead. . i'd love to have a new DSLR but i don't have that kind of $$ right now! i'd love something like a canon 30D. my camera is a canon eos elan 7ne. o, how i wish there was such thing as a cheap Digi-swap, like a TT swap :P

Stopped by my Nissan dealership today, with a question about paint. Both GTR's that they were getting in, sold sight unseen. Dropshipped to other cities, and will never grace the floors of this dealership. Same goes for the Tacoma Nissan store. Guess I'll have to wait another year to see on in person.

Ummm....my little brother is the camera head. He just kinda pointed me in the direction of the best DSLR and I got a tripod because it was on sale. I just wanted a really good camera for taking pictures when I went to places, instead of a crappy point and shoot.

Iwould buy a Nikon DSLR. Had a D60 IMO nicer than the Canon. Don't do much photography anymore and yes film is pretty much an afterthought.

Soup thanks for posting the GT-R man I dont know if I can withstand myself anymore I like the black, this year needs to pass fast.

take off the door panel to get the the other side of that, i don't know if it comes out, never tried..... in the window motor replacement thread i made, it shows how to take it off... very easy...

edit: Lay off the JUICE

/ thread jack

Thanks to soup I went to the Nissan dealer here in town today. As I walked up 2 salesman sighed and went, "camera....for the car in the lobby huh" and gave me a hard time. When I went in they asked the manager if I could take pictures (like I would take no for an answer) and the manager asked me if I knew what type of car it was (again, if you go in with a camera you probably know something about it).

As I was oogling and taking pics some old guy came up talking to a salesman and said, "Man this is an okay car, but the ZR1 corvette is DEF much faster than this peice." That sparked a pretty lengthy debate.

When I asked the salesman he said some dude from Germany came over and bought 3 sight-unseen, each one sold for 15 or 20K over sticker, and the guy is having all 3 flown back to Germany. He said they had 8 ordered for the store and this one was the only one that hit the store.

PS Black looks amazing, I had a boner....

/end thread jack

I hope you get that gremlin figured out man, gotta be irritating. Hopefully this is all that will go wrong with it.

The second i read that part about the the guy who bought three to take to Germany, my friend over the phone told me the exact same thing..that was creepy. So yeah whoever sold the three R35's made about 50 grande in comission.

And i don't know why those douches were given you a hard time, i was taken a bunch of pics..yours came out so much better though.

And I was there again today to order my fcuking a/c vent. I decided to walk out with a baloon since today's is my cars birthday.



i guarantee something else is bound to mess up before the week ends. Thank God its all simple stuff

so is the Z06...but throw some corners in there and your done.

But you have to forgive, because the poor man in the vette has an actual clutch and no technological sensors that are assisting him on the road.

Well on BBC they did a full speed test of the GT-R and the clocked 3.29 in the 0-60. They guys both said that the number they received from Chevy when testing the ZR1 Vette in Germany was 3.42. Just repeating what I saw. I wish I had recorded it to watch it again now.
