I like the one with the black wheels and roof. The wheels fit better plus it doesnt have those godawful taillights.

You should come down for the Great Falls meet then. January 13th. Its on the border of VA and MD, so its not as long of a drive for you. Check the Mid Atlantic Regions area.

Thank you! But believe me, the outcome was purely accidental

I had the map light on and the fluorescent shop lights on in the garage (two of them).

f/2.8
ISO400
1/2s exposure

I think I just slightly bumped up the exposure and knocked down some of the noise in Lightroom, but thats it.

I've pretty much been living in the library this whole week. 6 papers due within 3 days

A few days I logged 10+ hours in there. It sucked.

This past weekend I went down to Cary, NC for two meets. First up was Cars and Coffee Saturday morning, then we grabbed some food and headed to a parking deck to hang out and take pics. I really wish I had the patience to go about 1/2" lower











Pics courtesy of Tyler

Tyler was nice enough to open up his home and his butthole to me (thats for you, Tim!) so I could stay until Sunday for the [another forum specifically for RSXs] meet. Then, on the way back home this happened:



I was really surprised by the turnout at C&C, especially since it's December, but the weather was gorgeous all weekend so a lot of nice cars came out (included the only 911 Sport Classic in the country). The pics from Saturday can be found here:

Thanks again Tyler for letting me crash at your place and scrape up your driveway

Glad you brought the car out. It looked awesome. Picture don't do it justice at all. I definitely vote for you being more patient so you can go lower though.

Definitely was unaware that was the only 911 Sport Classic in the Country. Was definitely one of my top 3 favorite there. The color is gorgeous.

Thanks! I was excited to finally see your TSX. It looked even better in person, though I really think you need some fender flares and a color change

Tyler said it was the only one in the country. It makes sense, because Porsche never officially brought it to the US. Its in my top 3 as well. In no particular order:

GT3 RS 4.0
Sport Classic
The blown Bel Air

Saw that black FR-S last night, very low, HID's/LEDs everywhere...looks exceptional. That car is going to be a classic.

Love it.

And yes, I was saying that about forgestars to piss off Aaron/Austin (can't really tell them apart yet).

I think it looks superb how it is. And you do an excellent job keeping her clean and shiny. Looks professional.
