Ha! I didn't read the thread notification correctly. For some reason I thought this was in the Photos of Your Ride thread.

I've actually never rode an e-scooter. They look like some much fun. At 30 mph probably a bit sketchy. Funny thing, I ride a Yamaha R1, but when my wife and I are downtown and I say, "let's rent some scooters" she tells me that they're too dangerous. Lol

Ha I hear you. True story - I wish I can find it (will post if I do) - but there is a review of one of the fast e-scooters out there, done by a SUPERBIKE RACER - and he says similarly that e-scooters are scary above 30 mph.

My opinion, it depends on how the fork is setup, and the rest of the scooter - you need stable setup with big tires and stuff, so you can be stable at the higher speeds.

And oh yeah, pardon me for posting a motorcycle photo in a cars thread.

That "Bruce Banner" Celica is niiiiice! Been a long time since I've seen one of those. That has to be one of the cleanest ones out there.

Those VW Beetles need to move over so that MDX can get through.

Great night shots!

Shadow2056

Nice shots! What camera you using?

srika

Thx
Thx - those are with the Canon 5D Mark IV - I think the lens was 24-70 2.8

I really love doing the night rollers - or even just rollers in general. Planning to do a lot more this year.

Also a general comment for the thread - if you’re on a phone or even on computer - be sure to click on the image to ensure the high-res version loads.

srika

Some more snaps from that night - and for the camera geeks first one is the 5D IV with 50mm lens (above were too, not the 24-70 as I had said) - and the 2nd two images are the Sony A7R iii with the Canon 85mm 1.8 lens.

srika

oops one more -

I keep seeing this car in my building's vistors' parking. It's in MINT CONDITION! 😮 (BUT, I DO believe this was from the problematic era)

PhilB81

@srika come on we all know those were shot on an iPhone

driving yesterday, I got a big thumbs up from the girl driver of this 6 series, not sure if Alpina, or just Alpina wheels.

Alpina's had quad exhaust and a different bumper setup.

And those Jags always looked fantastic to me.

SamDoe1

That Jag is GORGEOUS!!! We've all had problematic cars, I'd say that one looks like it might be worth the effort haha.

PhilB81

Thanks for pointing that out civicdrivr, if I see her again, I’ll thumbs down

regarding the jag, it’s funny because growing up I couldn’t understand who would buy a jag over a bmw or Benz. But in collage a roommate had an XJR which made me revaluate my position on Jags

Hey what car did you shoot that from!?! Cayenne?

Legend2TL

Was there ever a non-problematic era for Jag's?

Did that roommate come from money or liked working on his Jag?

PhilB81

LOL, I knew it!

As for the car, i was in the gt3.

Haha, money, but he must have been a bit of a glutton for punishment. He had an Audi, that was his car. the XJR belonged to his parents it was pretty new back then. He drove it when the Audi was out of commission.

srika

WHAT THE - you were IN a GT3 and didn't care to get a bigger pic (and more pix) showing that fact?!?!?

srika

Dug the spec on this Macan on the way home today - the wheels really did the trick! Shot this on my old Nokia 3310 which I brought out of retirement, just for Phil81!

PhilB81

LOL, don’t drop it, you’ll damage whatever it lands on.

SamDoe1

What did they drive when they were both broken at the same time?

srika

some snaps today from lunchtime, on Randolph Street - shot these with my old first-gen RAZR, which I brought out of it's decades old retirement just for PhilB81.

PhilB81

Alfa Romeo or Range Rover… or courtesy vehicle

srika

a few more snaps from Lunchtime today - on Michigan Ave - shot these with my Treo 600, which I brought out of retirement, just for PhilB81

ttribe

Why did that last picture conjure up a memory of a Sesame Street Song - "Which one of these things is not like the others..."?

PhilB81

that’s because the car is driving towards the camera as opposed to away from it, right?

ttribe

Yeah...that must be it.

srika

Hey! That IONIQ is sweet!!! Love those things.
