Odd. My 2004 CTS-V walked a Tesla last summer....

?

EDIT: Just watched vid, new model Tesla. Gotcha.

Back when i was in college I had a Dodge Shelby Charger 2.2

I realize now the exhaust note was very similar to this countach.

Then EcoBoost a fucking V8.

 

(ford) Dont be a pussy.

Save this quote for when Ford gets them homologated and "pussies" Ferrari's - and everyone else's - clock at Le-mans. (again)

What will really boil your noodle - if ultimate performance is valued over being able to row your own gears - is that I'll bet the new NSX will mop the floor with the Ford GT.

 

<<<Drives a Ford, loves 'Murica (though NSX is being birthed here in Ohio). I'm jes'sayin...

Its possible, but.... I'll take that bet. Seeing as the last NSX didn't mop anything with anyone, was noted as the most milktoast of the supercars, highly civilized boredom - and the last GT has already ascended into godhood... well yeah. History and stuffs.

Oh dear lord almighty I want that.

Talk about dropping the bomb. NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!

Crazy fast? That's a slow bike not a fast car.

This. That ain't much of a bike.

still, the Bel Air is pimp

Actually, those are kinda brilliant.

Confirmed two days ago: global car, AWD, coming to NA, 330hp or more.

weeeeeee. I think I've found my next DD.

I'd be shocked if it was here then. I bet 2016 as a 17.

 

Also, unless awd, who cares...

All signs are pointing to it being awd.

Got to ride in one of these when visiting the inlaws in Holland. Freaking insanely fun little cars.

If the interior was less boy racer / budget I'd buy one. I still may as a DD, but only if they relent and give a paddle auto - which is highly unlikely. Stick in rush hour traffic for 30years has done got old.

Looked to me like the Viper was pulling in between shifts.

I'd still take the Vette though.

Over the past year due to some injuries I've had to back way off my outdoor activities. replaced it with modeling. WH40K stuff to be precise. (received the SpaceHulk board game as a gift and in the processing of assembling/painting the pieces for that, it sort of took off). The figures are about the size of your thumb with the vehicles ranging from softball to football size.

Now I'm trying to photograph these dang things and I am having no luck. No matter what I do the miniatures in the pic come out over saturated and end up looking blotchy and melted. All the tones and shading (And there's alot - over 11 shades of red on the big tank alone, not counting washes and weathering).

I've tried with my Galaxy S4 as many settings as I can. I've tried mucking around with it in Paint.net (am pretty good with this program). Tried the wife's DSL. We have a GE X550 and a Nikon L830 (neither of which I have any idea how to set up).

I try to put the models near a wide window on the west side of the house for sunlight (1pm ish timeframe) but not in direct sun. I've used indoor lamps too. Can't seem to get it right.

Anyway, wall of text. HELP.

Here's a pic of what I'm trying to do. This is just a quick snapshot from my Galaxy S4.
