Photoshop. You have one pic of the hood closed and another with it open showing the engine. Then merge fade edit sumin sumin..yea im taking a guess lOl

 

Car looks good I been meaning to do mine, im just to lazy lol.

 

yep. take the 2 pics, open both in photoshop, merge them, then use the the sponge or brush tool set to opacity or whatever and erase the area where the engine is. I'm so awesome I didnt even use a tripod for this one...

 

dealing with snow does suck sometimes, but dealing with people that can't drive in said snow is 100x worse. although, I look forward to winter so that I can go snowboarding. there's nothin like a bluebird day riding around, jibbin some rails and boxes, and hanging with your homies. it just puts the mind at ease.

I'm getting older though and the falling part seems to hurt more and more each time, so in a yr or so I plan on relocating to the Carolinas. I haven't quite decided which one yet, but they seem to be where I could end up.

any thoughts from the Carolina residents on here on which one to choose?

anyhow, on a more car-related topic. this winter the TL sits in the garage while I am carted around by my mother(no license-loooong story) and her nice set of Blizzaks.

 

I'm going to sound bias but I say North Carolina. 2 hours east of Raleigh is the beach and 3 hours west are the mountains. Plus you're pretty much in the middle of the eastern seaboard so whether you decide to visit a state north or south, the drive isn't too bad. I can get to NY in the same amount of time I can get to FL.

 

^yeah I heard its pretty nice in north carolina, my brother lives there and he loves it.

 

I always like going to wrestling camp @ Appalachian State in Boone NC.

The smokies are just awesome.

My brief experience with South Carolina would force me to not want to move there unless close Myrtle Beach.

I would say NC as well on the eastern side as well.

 

I'm more of an eastern Tennessee man myself.. not that there's much difference in scenery. I enjoy staying around Tellico Plains and enjoying the Cherohala Skyway and Deals Gap, as well as the surrounding area.

 

yea I'm pretty much leaning towards North Carolina, Tyler you might have just sold me on it!

some of my mom's friends live there and absolutely love it, so why wouldnt I right?

 

Pity you guys with snow. I'm in Colorado Springs and played golf yesterday in low 60s and sunny. We have had a couple small snowfalls here this winter but it always melts quickly...

 

I lived in the Jefferson City / Morristown area from 99 to 01

Did enjoy it but the in-laws live there so kinda killed it for me. My wife is from Talbott (thats where I met her anyway)

I am more of a Florida person though. That is where I plan to move in the next year or so.

Not sure if its southern people or just the way of life there. Just hate the humidity.

 

I'm in between Florida and Virginia all the time. Mainly Florida for now. Things you'll miss from Tennessee is the lower taxes on everything, lack of traffic, curvy roads, friendly people and change in seasons (especially fall). If you hate humidity, I'm not sure why you're considering Florida LOL Furthermore, not sure if you have children but I would never move to Florida with kids. The education system here is an absolute joke and is in constant financial turmoil.

All of that being said, I've never lived in Tennessee. I stay with close friends and such. However, I would love to retire to the Knoxville/Maryville area but time will tell.

 

From a meet last night.
they're matte black and matte grey.


dont know if it was paint or vinyl.

 

Yeah I partied my ass off in Knoxville in college years.

Pensacola actually has some really high rated schools and very good neighborhoods. Plus I have family down there now and would put my kids 8 hours away from their other grandparents and not the 22 hours we are now.

Plus I will be able to work 2 weeks on 2 weeks off so 6 months in Florida a year and 6 months either Alaska or off-shore or somewhere else.

I worked in Virginia when younger. Richmond, Roanoake, Fredricksburg, Va beach, Newport News Chesapeake. And while beautiful country I would never live there.

TN is a cheaper state to live in but jobs are difficult to find.

 

Thats sweet. The only thing I've ever used PS for is to re-size pics for an avatar. The version on my laptop is probably close to 10 years old.

I might have to experiment with this a little.

 

Born and raised in the panhandle and we have the best scores in the state. Pretty small town conservative living here, though i'm not conservative.

If i continue to live in FL i rather my kids grow up in the Panhandle in the next county over. Nothing wrong with P-cola, just I lived in the next county over my whole life and Pensacola is too busy for me. Now if I need to go to the mall or any nightlife, just drive across the bridge. Now I do like the beach. I can see myself owning a place on the beach. Definitely in my dreams. I'm dreaming about it now.

 

was at a big meet in Charlotte this morning and a few TL's rolled up that had me scratching my head so i snapped some pics with my cell phone... discuss









this guy's ride wasnt that bad just needs the honda badge removed and needs to be lowered

 

^^ anyone else think that "BLUE" TL has a HORRIBLE paint job?(i say blue cuz it sure as hell aint KBP)

 

yeah the paint was terrible. would have taken more pics but the owner gave me dirty looks

 

Lmaoo V6 Hybrid he must have bought the flux capacitor

 

the trim over the license plate is missing also. looks

and where's his exhaust?

 

 

both cars look terrible... =x bad representation

 

What a terrible way to represent the TL in North Carolina

 

dont worry tyler... eric and i were both there and represented the TL well

 

What? No VTECH stickers?

 

he didnt have an exhaust lol

 

Hybrids dont need exhaust!

 

turrible

 

he had a special edition Hybrid TL that was released on maytember 45th of 2011. comes stock with custom interior. I wish i would have taken pics of the interior. Worse than the exterior of the car

 

what!? explain.

please expound on this interior disaster

 

You should have kept snapping pics, you were at a meet weren't you? I would have kept snapping pics even if he was giving me a dirty look.

 

god i hate what some people do to their cars.

"how's this look!?"

TERRIBLE...KEEP IT UP!

 

didnt get a chance to really look into it closely because of tint/doors never open. but i could see by just walking around it was completely gutted with racing seats. couldnt see a harness system so it appeared that the seats were just bolted down with no harness to keep the driver in place. i may be wrong but you can usually see when someone does it right with racing seats and now im not saying that doing a weight reduction is bad. I love the cars on this forum that have taken the TL diet to new levels but this was different. I have a ton of respect those guys like Inaccurate, vill0169, and accuratein who have done severe weight reduction the right way. this was done the wrong way. i did like the shift knob that he had

 

Red angel eyes FTL.

 

its more of a ricer meet, every month.

you want to see how the ghetto houston boys do it?

 

The hell is that!

 

This. Oh my...this, over and over again.

 

so much want...

 

dem wheels.
