Love to cruise

I haven't had a car in a while that I just wanted to drive for the fun of driving. This shot from tonight.




You can't see the smile on my face, but it's there.

Awesome. Did you hand hold that over your shoulder, or do you have a camera mount?

Tripod in backseat. The center pole of the tripod rested in the cup holder for the back seat. One leg of the tripod came between the seats forward. My tripod has adjustable angles on the legs!

Cool pics....

How do you find the radar detector, does it work? being there are som nay different kinds of radar nowadays.... I'm not a fast driver, but have a feeling once I get the mini, there may be some changes in my diving habbits!! But I have gotton the odd ball speeder over the years and wondered if the detectors really work.

Enjoyable... I was wondering how you did the photography. My first thought was a very understanding friend who likes riding in back seats . Good move on the tripod work. Entertaining and excellent shots. How fast were you going to get those blurs?

Put up some more, in the meantime I will go browse your website.

I put up the radar detector maybe 2 weeks ago. Not a single time have I passed a guy with a radar since I put it up. Hopefully I won't need it, but will find out in coming weeks as I am sure I will eventually pass a radar unit at some point.
