Wow, I'm surprised there wasn't any GTR's. Or you just didn't snap any?

BTW, awesome pics, thanks for sharing.

Funny that you mention that, coz right after I finished posting the pictures, I realized that I had heard some new GT-R was supposed to be there, and I must have missed it. Nissan was on the more boring side of the show, and I went thru it pretty quick - too quick apparently

Yea, there was some cool stuff there for sure!

Can't wait for some warmer weather. Hopefully this Spring will bring modded headlights, and it will certainly bring a domed decal, and replacing my 6K HIDs, fogs, and DRLs with 5K bulbs that I already have, and finally getting around to modding my front sidemarkers to 5K white. After that, who knows??

Haha, just haven't had any spare time at all lately. Might end up just being a spring project when it's warmer. Maybe around the same time I end up completing the rest of my 5000K light conversion.

And I wish we had Cars and Coffee so I could see cool cars more than once a year! But yea, there were some sweet cars there, pretty cool to see 'em. And a good excuse to take a whole buncha pictures. I think I ended up taking right around 200 in 2 hours.

That's awesome, thanks Tyler! I never knew about that. From the galleries, it seems to draw some sweet cars!

Both locations are about an hour from me. Not close per se, but certainly within striking distance.

Looks like I'll need to round up some Chicago area AZ folks and head to Supercar Saturdays this year!

Thanks Swoosh!

This was my first time using my new to me Minolta 70-210 "Beer Can" zoom lens, all pics were taken with it. It will take a little getting used to, but I'm thinking I'm going to like it a lot!

Thanks! It is on there however Acura attaches them to Type-S models I'm guessing it's screwed on somehow.

Got a ton coming tonight actually, they've been saying 10 inches. Cancelled schools around here already.

My favorite too! Funny how when you're taking them, its hard to tell which will come out great and which won't, you just take pics, then go home and see what you got. I never would have guessed while taking them that it would've been by favorite, but it is!

Also, I feel like I get anxiety whenever its dirty, I'm always looking the next opportunity to sneak in a wash. Plus its most fun to have a clean car when all the other cars on the road are filthy

Thanks man. I've always been a fan, not quite sure why. Plus for some reason, as you can tell, I like close ups of them! The 5th pic is my second favorite of these.

Goes without saying, but we all love your rims too! Looking forward to your new set up, I'm sure it'll be sweet.

1, I would like to make the love to your car. With your blessing, of course. Wine, dine, the whole nine yards.

2, how in the fk has your clear on your calipers held up so well in snowy conditions? wow.

3, awesome, continue to take such great pictures.

1 - I don't usually let others take her for a ride....but I'm gonna go with my instincts on this one. Saddle up partner!

2 - Simple - I only take pictures of the good one. The other caliper is peeled as shit. All the more reason to re-do them this summer. Leaning towards Rotora blue...

Yea, I figure the more pictures I take, the better they'll start coming out. Still only at around 1,000 pics taken I think on it.

And lucky isn't quite the word...more like just too anal to let it stay dirty for any longer than it has to. More of a curse really...although I'm not complaining
