Yeah, I went back to leasing with the ZDX

The first car I had - Mazda Millenia - was bought. I sold it a year and a half later for the same price that I paid for it. ($3,000)

The second car I bought - Scion tC - I sold a year and a half later for the amount I owed.

I leased the third car - Acura TSX. But when the lease was up, I couldn't find anything that I liked. I fell in love with the type -S, but unfortunately by then the 4G was released.

I thought that since type-s is more rare and the sportier than the regular TL, I would have no trouble selling it - boy was I wrong

I got 0 from Craigslist and 1 from eBay classifieds. Seems that "For Sale" written on the car gets the most calls, followed by Autotrader

whatever it is, we won't be selling it at 14k

plus the listing charges are reasonable so no harm in trying.

I'm taking it tomorrow to get an estimate and it'll probably go into surgery after. Definitely wont be ready before the weekend.

I may take it to the PDR place in queens - maybe the hood could be straightened, but then again maybe not

that's fine too. Let's keep the celebration for when it does sell.

I do think we'll need a photoshoot either way, so after it's fixed up having the interior cleaned a bit can't hurt. Empty trunk too, yes.

.... unfortunately most people shoot in auto thinking the camera makes their picture come out better.
..... false! either that, or their pictures look like their shot in auto when theyre shot in manual lol

and mike.... no. no purple wheels on steves TL. he'd probably eat a baby before he put on flamboyantly colored wheels.

pictures shot in auto are the genius work of hundreds of people and researchers at the camera company. I think it's a pretty safe bet.

Besides speed, aperture and white balance, do you control anything else? everything else is either software adjustable or automatic.

There is no such thing as full manual. Auto is a safe way to shoot if you don't want to think about all the complexities and if you're getting the result that you want.

iso, shutter speed, aperture, white balance, focus, metering, exposure compensation
and composition is the most important, which most people fail at doing.
photos should be good without editing.
editing should only compliment the picture, not make the picture.
