i'm really excited they are on now, as it closes the wheel gap. I do miss the car sitting lower on stock wheels, though

you're saying I didn't drive to the top of the mountains somewhere across the world and take this picture?

every picture i post goes through at least an hour of PP in Photoshop, this particular one was set up very nice for a composite picture

Nothing is fooling me. I even think this specific picture might be a rendering and not actual mountains.

Wondering if you even own a TL now!



I still think you probably own the nicest TL in Canada. Silver is not my thing at the moment (had my fair share of silver cars) but I'd take your TL any day!

My question is why in their right mind would someone REMOVE a dragon from their picture. That's like the most badass animal you can find in the mountains of Ontario.

thats what i'm saying... His car may look great, but I'm second guessing GP's attitude towards amazing mystical creatures...

I'm happy to see the TL exists! Last one is my fav out of the three, although I imagine some similar backdrop due to the reflection on your bumper. I zoomed in CSI-style earlier hehehe

Thanks PB

i plan on making a trip to montreal to take some pictures

I'd love to take pictures in the alleyways of old montreal, with the old brick roads.

Not sure if cars are allowed in those areas, though
i just remember a lot of pedestrians walking all over those alleyways

Hey Steven, would you be able to change the thread title to:

GP16's *Show Off Thread* Mystical Photoshoot! [pg. 42 - Updated 4/15/15]

Thanks!

Yes the cars are allowed on most streets but on sunny days on the weekends there's a lot of people around so it's definitely difficult to snap a good pic. Gotta be real patient or take a few pics on a tripod and layer it in PS and remove the pedestrians. Nothing you can't do though, obviously.

If you feel like it, hit me up by pm when you're down in MTL and we'll go for a beer or 2.
