They say hotness gets better with age...

Actually, that's not true at all, except in the case of your car...


Looks great bud!

Looks awesome, nice pics!

Didn't you get it painted? 200k doesn't count as much if you add new paint. :P

Thanks. I'm looking for a new camera and I know there's a filter/setting that's being used to get the shots to look like that....I'm just curious what it is or what camera he has.

It looks nice, but I think you need a larger turbo ;)

lol, well the pictures don't come out of the camera that way. they're actually 3 different pictures taken at different exposures (light, normal, dark) then they're combined on the computer to make a super triple sexy picture :lol: here is a more detailed definition of HDR

Yeah yeah. When I get my car done, she won't see a lick of salt. MN is bad for that. I might take it out on some clear roads just to tune some air temp compensations though.

Thanks for the link & explanation. So does the camera take all three different pictures in succession, or how do you get the three pictures to match up exactly....
