Drove around a bit today......It was so beautiful.....I couldn't help it. Got home....did a quick detail on the whip...and headed out the door.

67F? Can you believe that?

Headed down to the York River boat landing to let the creative juices flow.....wasn't really feeling it. The actual sun was pissing me off. The glare ruined many of my photo's. Crooked...I know. Aggressive as hell though. Will even look more aggressive when the splitters are permanently installed.

Next.....drove around my place a bit and ventured down some roads I had never been before. They yielded a good pic or two....

Then....over to the good old Kiskiak Golf Club road for a few last shots before heading home. How about that sky!!!

Nice pics! I'd be tempted to do some quarter miles runs with that long stretch of road so close to my house... we got to 49 here. I loved the warm weather today :)

Over 50 degrees here --- and not a single opportunity to head out and take some pics. So freaking annoyed. But, at least I made a customer somewhat happy. Why'd her hard drive have to crash just as she's leaving for two weeks??? :(


Your pics are gorgeous as always, Dane. Wish we had some really nice scenery here to take pictures with.

Hah you sure?? Thats more like M3 times Dane.

By the way, not to go OT, but any Android guys, the Car Performace app is awesome for measuring 1/4 miles, 0-60, 0-100 etc. It is dead accurate too!

The sad part is I did a quick 0-60 today and did a 7.5 :( :rofl

Damn really?!? No traction?

Our cars are supposed to do a 5.6 second 0-60

My shift was really long, my car hates going into second gear for some reason so I typically do it slowly; need to replace the tranny fluid. Plus, 5.6 is in ideal conditions. I barely launched, had some tire slip (wet roads), and shifted slow. Still, it would be hard to go under 6 seconds I think.

nice! the winter sun is annoying :shifty I like how you have the inspection sticker in the middle. NJ's requires it on the drivers side....huge blindspot IMO. The sticker also says, "FIGHT TERRORISM" on it with a police hat...others have a giant yellow school bus, or "lights on wipers on"; big distractions as I see it. And I want a mafia sticker! :mafia

Nice day and scenery! Sorry to hear the juices weren't flowing - I know what you mean, I gotta be in the right mindset to capture what I want. The car and pics do look good!

Contact Dane. He has some. He doesn't live that far from you. By mail, it probably takes a day or two to get.

I beg to differ. It was telling me I was doing 7 seconds 0-60 in the E30 with the S50 swap. There ain' no way in hell I was that slow; it was a near-perfect launch and near-perfect shifts.
I visually timed it and it was around 5.5 seconds.

I've compared it to a g-meter a couple times and it was very similar. You need to properly calibrate it and then find a place where it is secure and won't move around at all.
