Nice shot, but missing something.

Minivader, I had to try my limited Photochomp skills to see how that wonderful trees photo would look. I had soccer dad duty, but our fields are surrounded by dirt, weeds and rooftops.

Something different

Just installed the tower brace. I should try the last sun shining on the carbon fiber.


What a pain to grind down the aFe box to make the bar fit.

Where's the sunset? Practicing for this month's contest.

minivader: yes, that's the blue! Every time I see it I still get goosebumps--it's the most amazing color on earth IMHO. And it has it's variations, too.

cheers,

so are these braces supposed to help with mushrooming or just steering/sway. i've got the M7 reinforcement plates but still haven't put them on yet!

89AKurt... time to do an engine detail!

I thought it was just for bling. Usually the way the towers are hanging out there, there is no support directly between them. Ask Buick why it's on the Le Sabre (early 90's), not c.f. of course.

Next is fixing the huge dent. It's on the side you haven't seen for awhile.

Oh yea, this morning:


Then I moved down the street.

I have a question for Dave regarding "dusk."

Ah, now I know where Swifty has been hiding HIS dirt.
Did you get anything else installed on Swifty over the holidays Kurt?

An old photo that I just finished remixing (image details can be found here).

I can't be bothered with dirt, now that it's "snowed" Swifty is filthy!
Swifty was enhanced with a Borla exhaust this week. Waiting for wheels.
Really nice shot. But it looks like you forgot to set the parking brake and lookout!

Sorta urban setting.


I was Mr. Taxi tonight.
speednut: is this urban enough? This is from the mall that was a mountain.

Shore is mighty quiet 'round here lately...

"real life" must be catching up with Kurt as I'm suffering sunset/sunrise photo withdrawal.

Nope!

I'm still sticking to just putting the urban clutter into the shadows.

Just this...

...Swifty is filthy.


I ran across the street, then back to get daughter to school. Missed a nice sunset twice lately (getting other daughter her first car during one).

So it's all up to you guys to post something.
