TTQ B4U

Would never buy a Korean make brand new. Nothing brand new really with a handful of exceptions due to abuse. However, Korean....no way. Way too much depreciation in the first two years. Good thought though. If I leased, I might do something like that.

^^ Sexy for sure. Classy for sure. Wondering if my personality and love for sporty feeling cars would be sacraficed in a larger 5 series that's not an M vs say a pimped out 335 or M or S4? I'm thinking while I'm still in my 40's I go with the smaller more spirited car loaded up. Open to being edumacated on the above though. Just looks to me like something I might graduate to when I have more gray hair and in my 50's. haha. I know what you mean. I could toss a Powell/Dublin comment out there but won't. Pretty sure our new house will be more BMW/Audi or Caddy than Dukes of Hazzard

Great insight all. My Rankings thus far. S4 is in the top spot CTS-V (Wagon then Sedan just be different) and family.... 335 (AWD) would put it 2nd though

Would love to find a CTS-V Wagon. Will research a bit while on plane ride. S4 with the 3.0T are Supercharged and IIRC faster and better than the older Turbo no? Jones? ^^ Absolutely pimp and in my top list. Even over the CTS-V due to the AWD factor. Remember, this ride will see snow. Any issues with the 335 or M3 series engine wise? I'm leery of BMW for some reason.... Probably way over price range. Just can't see putting that much into a box that goes from A to B. Totally dig them but the MPG's would likely be pretty irritating....

^^ if that turd at least had the 3.5l or 3.7l Ford V6 or something with Balls in it, I'd consider one.

In to discuss the CTS-V with you. 99% Serious. Will send PM too.

Looking at something 1-2 but will go 4yrs years old for the sake savings and not having something too far out of warranty. Open to ones with CPO longer warranties though if I find the right car. Domestic or Import 4 doors or Wagon Auto or Stick with a pref. towards an auto as it's a DD that will see busy cities Sporty - No Accord'ish snoozers Sexy AWD or RWD --> really like AWD as this will be a DD in snow Reliable - no known issues of significance to have to deal with Less than 30k on the ODO In the $30-40 maybe $45k Range. I'm flexible. No higher though Nothing Previously modded or beat on - save that for me Some examples that I'm considering: CTS-V- Wagons still out there? 335 S4 SHO Jags GS350 Infinity something? yadda yadda.... No doubt will be dealing with Jet Auto.... Thanks!

They won't allow anything longer than a 3" lens. I dont have gear that small except a my 35mm prime. Even my 85mm L Series prime is longer May be buying a Sony 700mm Q Series one that clips on my phone and just keep it in my coat pocket. Maybe I can sneak that in. Can return it if I don't use or like it? IQ from it is equal to thier RX 100.

:doh: Just spent $100+ there yesterday!! ARRHHH!!!!

Look at the wheels and his hand position at :54 through the jump over the curb. It doesn't appear he even moved the wheel more than a quarter turn then back.

Bet that's the last C&C for him for quite a while... Maybe it's the phone/recording but I never knew M4's sounded that bad.

^^^ THIS. Cancer is in my family like a relative and I fear it. However I gained a lot of strength watching this video. Two very inspirational people I think. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/espns-stuart-scott-kick-cancers-23376687

Perfect combination of luxury and performance. Not sure I'd want to row gears in a car like that. Based on today's transmissions, lots of autos are faster anyway, so no man card issues there.

You shop there? Never been.

The MKII is awesome. I sold my 1DMKII that was years old but a tank and a tried and proven sports camera. This one trumps that. The reviews call it a mini 1Dx which was launched and dominated the last Olympics. The AF System is based off of that but has a few more features as well. Canon finally put a solid professional focus system in their prosumer lineup. The one HUGE key selling factor for me on the AF System is the Flicker Sensing. No more OOF or F'd up WB in images as it detects the flicker of these lights and will subtly adjust the frame release timing to match when the lights are at their brightest for a proper exposure and insuring you nail the focus. Even in normal household CFL's or LED's there's flicker and it tells you when it's matching up. Pretty cool. The f/2.8 dual cross-type point on the 7D Mark II gives the camera the ability to focus down to f/8, thus how I was able to use the 100-400L with the teleconverter so easily. It' locked on with ease. The 7D Mark II also offer a metering system more advanced than even the 5D Mark III and 1Dx. The new 7D Mk II uses an actual RGB metering sensor with approximately 150,000-pixels. This is a huge improvement over the 7D's 63-zone segmented light-sensitive sensor, which oly allowed for basic correction of red and green hues. The new metering sensor even improves on those found in the 5D Mark III and 1Dx, which only offer 100,000 pixels and lack the infrared metering capability this on has. This is my go-to camera going forward with my Full Frame 5DMKIII as the portrait work. They match up well and even the controls pretty much mirror each other.

Got your Text Clay. Will get with you for that coffee or beer in the next few days.

I think he must live pretty close as I see him ever 3-4 weeks. I bet most of the time he's just hidden and around but he likes to sit on a couple trees by our deck and on our fence. The trees in our yard and behind us often have critters popping out an scurrying around. I've seen a Red Tail take more than a few squirrels and rabbits from our yard

Enjoying another day off work, having coffee, looking out the window and what do I see.....someone looking for breakfast. Click on the images for full size version that show things more clearly.

Old man tan? Yuck.....

SOLD! Thanks Wes. Happy shooting!

Congrats man! Nice to have some property and over time the ability to add on / expand on things. Happy new year.

will be interesting to see the follow up...

I'm in California a lot and it's common there. Here in Ohio, even if the law passes, I wouldn't do it. It will take 10-20yrs before the group of drivers are even remotely aware. Until then it will remain at your own risk.

Notes to self, side-swipe the mofo with minivan and no fucks will be given. Then proceed to LOL when he cries and I still don't give a fuck. Someone remind him that turn signals are often warning indicators, not a request for permission. Especially when the drivers don't give a fuck. Did I stress that I don't give a fuck enough?
