Thats the best thing.

Im trying to get in shape. I've started to work out again which is a step in the right direction, and Ive been conscious about what I eat. Im not fat, just not in shape IMO.

Well, I was a slacker in the past...especially when I was unhappy with my ex...got BIG...up to 260. Now, quit smoking about 3 years ago...started jogging etc...pretty solid 215.

I use my time pretty wisely, I think. I use my forced lunch hour at work to do my 2.5 mile jog...some days we play basketball for 2 hours after. Some days I ride my mountain bike at the local trails for an hour. Always pushups, pullups, dips and core. My days of sitting in a gym for an hour and half are over...my ADD doesn't allow it. I get bored and hate it...I mean, I dig the bird watching, but that's not really what I'm there for.

PS...
sent the shots to my Dad...he normally kinda just says "looks cool"...not to say he's not interested but never really gives me much props in reference to car stuff since he's not that into it....

Thought this was a pretty big compliment though...
my fav is the middle shot looks like a wild beast on attack mode...

South Florida Car meets:

Dbag with nice car leaning up against car wearing shades (possibly chewing gum) and acting totally disinterested in anyone else's car, no matter how nice or not nice.
You: "Hey, nice car, man!"
Him: "Right!?!? Yeah, it's alright...those engine covers cost a thousand dollars, it's mad fast"

^^^Yeah, I'll NEVER be that guy! LOL...I appreciate all the compliments but it doesn't go to my head at all. I love the car, and I've worked hard with my own two hands on a budget to make it look cool to me, it's just nice to get validation from others and to know they like it too.

LOL, you're a funny chick, Catfisha...and if Dreem1er knows what's good, he knows you're now hitting "full bloom"!! Thanks for the semi flirtatious post...I appreciate a nice compliment from a ladyfriend.

Plus, I met her on match.com...that's like the Goodwill of online dating, isn't it!?!

"Full Bloom" x 100!!! That's one way to put it....

Match.com costs money, and I don't want to be hit on by 60 year olds; I attract dirty old men for some unknown reason.....

hey...I resent that, I fully intend on "blossoming" into a dirty old man!

you're right...I was on there for 3 months, had 400 views, and met 3 girls for coffee but either no spark, or too into themselves...then met Betty. SHE was on there for 3 days , had like 4000 views and constant "hey, maybe my pecker and your mouth could meet for a drink sometime".

Ridiculous...if you're just trying to get laid, go to plenty of fish or jdate...don't waste people's time on match and harmony <<<to the guys, not you

Jeremy, about the roof spoiler---it completes the look that the deck lid spoiler starts!


Morgan, we've met....I'm 55, but don't look it (hopefully-maybe Swoosh and McCollins can vouch for me). A few years ago, I started eating low carb/low sugar. I lost about 30 pounds and 4 inches off my waist. I play hockey in a men's league. I'm a goaltender, but most of the guys I play with are in their 20's and 30's. I still feel like I can keep up with them and still compete on a good level.

Eating low carb/low sugar made a HUGE difference.

Steven, but I don't have a lip spoiler, I have a trunk spoiler! Don't you think they clash? Too much?

You look like you've kicked your fair share of ass in your day, that much I'll attest to. You look to be in great shape, so that's probably some very good advice!

...


and now I'll sit back and wait for all the jokes about you "goaltending" for a group of men 20 years younger than you...

Jeremy,

I like the 2 spoilers together-that's why I keep getting after you about it!


And about the diet regime, I swear by it. The low carb/low sugar thing really works for me! I highly recommend it.

I've been in my fair share of "meeting of the minds" in my day, both off the ice and on. And yes, most of the players on my team are 20-30 years old. I'm the oldest on my team!

Here's a couple of shots...you can make your own decision!

Nice! Steve B

...on a side note, I finally got a chance to lower my rear. And just like I said, Big difference IMO. It is now more evened out with maybe, a 1/8in rake difference from frt to rear. I took phone pics as of now since the car is filthy and will post em up later tonight and will post better pics when detailed/washed.

and RS/Jer...what the hell u bishin at!? Sounds like u living the DREAM! 33 and NO KIDS & NOT MARRIED! wtf! I am 37 and u make me feel USED & ABUSED!

Here is my status: 37 yrs old, Married 1x = divorced, raised 2 girls in that marriage who now are 20 & 22yrs old as my own, raising another girl now with my lady (who IMO I call "Wife") now who we also just had a baby in May and I have a 17yr old son who is now a Sr in High Sch.






....................wow, that is depressing when I read that over...lol!

Here is the phone pics of the rear squat

http://mail.aol.com/36962-112/aol-6/...wMail&partId=4

http://mail.aol.com/36962-112/aol-6/...wMail&partId=5

On a side note: I read when Steve B called u out on "MISSING" something on your car. I know the feeling. I have had the ATLP V1 roof wing for now more then a year installed and I have had reservations to remove it and sell it...But, I leave it on since my reservations have not gotten any stronger. Plus, I recently aquired a certain secret contact that I am in the werkz with to possibly make a slight change utilizing the ARTP V1 wing I have...so we will see

Well, if you can call his girlfriend, "expensive equipment"...then I guess you could say YES to that.

Just 2 cars, 2 drivers, 1 cup and 1 camera person.

JayVee, you're screwed unless your P&S has a shutter speed adjustment. I have a Canon XS (DSLR) and I hung out the window. Pretty simple, you just need 3 people and 2 cars and a DSLR.

Sounds like a good time

Rolling shots are the best way to make new friends because you usually aren't doing the speed limit and people give you the best looks when you're hanging out of a car with a camera.

Austin was pretty precarious, but he was careful...he even wrapped the camera strap around his hand so if he fell out of the car, he'd be sure to take the camera with him!

That is what I figured as "EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT"...when comparing a DSLR vs my P&S But, I been wanting a better camera for the longest and have missed 1 or 2 opportunities on BM.

What is a good beginner DSLR?

I've been in the hatch of a tC with two ratchet straps holding me in as I hung out of the back getting a "low style" shot. Wish I still had the pic it was great. Nothing like hanging a foot from the ground while going 40 mph

Depends what company you want to go with Jay. I have Canon and I think their entry level is the T3. I'll be moving up before the end of the year.

Did you all see Nikons new small format full frame? D600. It's only $2,000 for just the body. But it shoots full frame 24 mp with full 1080 video and has WiFi capabilities.
