Bad ASS! I really like the new 5.0's.

Needs moar Accord :gabe: I like Brownings.

Busted tac. makes learning a bit more difficult, but in every day driving it's the feel not the visuals or even the sounds that matter. Get a feel for where the clutch begins to catch as you raise it up off the floor. That's the point where you begin to ease gently into the gas. Lift up on the clutch and depress the gas simultaneously and smoothly. You'll eventually get the knack and not even think about it. As others have said, you can get going without any gas in some cars. My MS3 is like that but it's not easy or fun. The amount of gas and speed of clutch release once you engage it will vary depending on how you are driving it. Drive it easy and both are smooth, if you give it too much gas too quickly and come off the clutch, you'll spin....and likely smell a bit of the clutch doing so. In the end, just get a feel for the release point, go slow and start off by shifting at lower to mid rpms. Don't go fast and furious for a while as it may not end well. I've driven a manual for years but my MS3 was the first in over 12 years and even I spent an evening at a parking lot getting used to it. MS3's have very unforgiving on/off style clutches. Do you have a hand brake the truck? I cheated and sometimes still do on hills by using the ebrake to keep from rolling back. Especially helpful in high traffic hilly areas when people tend to creep up on your ass. Give yourself 2-3 weeks of driving it everywhere and you'll find yourself doing it with easy and not even remotely thinking about it. You'll have a very connected feel to the vehicle which really will set in once snow hits. That's one thing I really like about the MS3 is winter. So much easier to get around in than the slushbox Ford.

The answer is simple; ROI. A specialty lens like this is exactly that. The one here was initially designed for an expedition to Antartica. The view allowed for the user to capture the entire sky and surrounding ground when pointed straight up. No real practical use related to the costs involved producing it really warrant the investment. Not when a more typical fisheye can produce upwards of 180-200* views on the cheap. I shoot events for a living and even as a hobby, while fisheye lenses are cool, I don't even see the need to buy one. I could probably sell my services and make use of one, but not having one isn't limiting my work or ability to get work, so I see no real ROI. Just my two cents.

Call me back first though Kevin.

Welcome to 1972. :gabe:

My parents have an 08 LTZ with only 7,500 miles on it. They are old and don't drive much. Interior is pretty nice for a Chevy. I take it out when I go see them.

Aaron says they need more red pin stripe

OK. Cool. I'm still bummed. May have to make up for this whole thing by adding some other options that you might be able to help with. Call my cell. 614-795-4907 same one you have already. Thanks Kevin.

I'm going to do the Mazda when Kevin gets her all fixed up. Black roof, black wheels and I'm putting the stripe on the inside. http://www.carid.com/images/wheels/katana/nj09-black-red-stripe.jpg

Aaron, you're too smart not to see that I got your Jimmies :lolguy: http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2658/3989612446_87bff90c2a_b.jpg

Damn Germans played it out.... http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3189/2599416802_8497f7fd47_z.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/S-wSNryO3sI/AAAAAAAC1rE/beNfaEzK0Ik/s1600/VW-Golf-GTI-Adidas-9.JPG I think the Vette looks BAD ASS!! I knew the strip on those wheels would look good. Nice pick up for sure.

cool stuff but while everyone splits hairs, I'll just drop my opinion that the GT500 is way better looking.

^^ do that on Saturdays and Sundays (including today) which are typically our cook out days. I put the cooler that way in the morning and between drinking them I top off the ice when needed. The only time I have a "slush" problem is when it hits one of our glass mugs that's right out of the freezer and together it's so cold the foam ices over. I just take it out and wait a minute or so before adding beer. Yum :fa:

^^ this x2 here. I've had it on several cars including a free 3yr subscription on my company car that I"m in most all the time during the day and I still never use it. The quality sucks really and the content is bullshit in terms of music. I do jump between 3-4 comedy channels now and then but even there the content is re-run so much that if I listen to it more than once a month, it's all repeat.

I use Bridge inside Photoshop. Tons of control. Never used Lightroom myself.

Got pissed when I walked out to see what a fucking bike did to it Friday.

I was going to but when I walked outside I really didn't see anything special. IMO I've seen the moon appear larger at other times in recent months. Who knows.

Look nice! I think the stripe looks good. Need to see on car.

cool vid. would love to find that road.

^^ :lolguy: You owe me a new keyboard due to the coffee I just spit on it :lolguy:

Sexy. Just needs a little tint to make it perfect.

PM Ben

One day later and yes, it does suck, but looking at it more closely it's not that bad. The scuffs will come right off and the bumper is fine, just popped out of it's clips. My guess is his wheel slammed into it. if it wasn't for that damn dent in rim of the gas filler area. Oh well, still waiting on Kevin to get back with me.
