She's still a baby haha if I ever go ahead with it, I'll be sure to contact you first. I'd rather take out a loan then dump $5000+ cash. All depends on my brother moving here for a job I recommended to him.

What are your plans if you sell it? Another bike or putting the money away?

It'll go towards another car I plan on picking up in the next month or two, pending a test drive. If I dont like said car, then Im just going to save the money.

^ Juniorbean will most likely update us on any info about the new spot for C&C.

Okay guys hope you are enjoying this Good Friday holiday
as for me i'm pretty busy with the car.

Some pics of what i've been up to.

Car is at bodyshop getting all the dings and dents fixed
and front end new paint. Hood, front bumper, and front side panels.
And fixing the Base front lip to fit nicer.

















Last years acorn damage i claimed on insurance as hail damage
which was ok with them. Just paying deductable. PDR will also
be done with there special lights to see the dents better and see the real damage.
I can see more than twenty dents myself.

Only one the rental place had at the time
this big ol Dodge Ram truck lol.



Had that for a couple days pretty fun going over speed bumps and stuff.

Then switched out to this Crown Vic cop car



A Lotus that was there



Gonna be a couple weeks without my car kinda bummed
but hopefully the outcome will be fresh and clean.

I know a few of ya are into photography so maybe one of ya can weigh in and tell me if I wasted my money. I recently lost my cheap digital camera and have been wanting to buy something a little nicer. I wasn't looking to spend alot of money on it and was looking for something on the introductory level. So I picked up a GE X500. It seems to get good reviews for being a cheap bridge camera. Here is a link to check the specs: http://www.general-imaging.com/us/di...a.aspx?id=1962

I had no idea GE made cameras

If I were you, I would pick a brand that's been in the game for a while. Nikon and Canon are your two best bets but you have to pay to play. Both my girlfriend and my mom have Sony P&S cameras and I personally love them. They look great and are compact. A lot of them now offer full 1080 HD video which is nice as well.

I'm just not sure how much I trust a company who's great at doing one thing and then suddenly makes another product for shits and giggles. That's like Apple making a lawnmower. It makes you ask "why?" since there are so many other options on the market.

Just my

I looked at Nikon's and Cannon's but they were all almost 3x's the price with the same features. I'm not looking to spend over $200 on a camera.

Those are all point and shoots and exactly what I already owned. I wanted a step up from those. I purchased the GE camera. $150 for camera/bag/16GB card, I'll take my chances.

I started off with a Sony Cybershot back in 2004 and have progressively bought cameras that cost more and more lol. Now i'm over here plotting on a D800 which will be rather costly.

This is my list of camera purchases through the years:

Sony was a 5.1 mega pixel
Canon xTi - 10.1MP
Nikon D90 - 12.3MP

Next?? Nikon D800 - 36MP
