I have 204 pics I'm submitting, but here are a few for preview:






I wonder what it'd look like with the hood down













Anyone going to Formula D @ Summit Point, WV (June 2nd)?

Cool pics, a lot better than mine! My digital camera isn't pro enough to take decent pics in a dark room like that I guess. Why did they have it so dark in there any way?

My LeMans Sunset Track Z was on display in the Exotic Customs booth. Do you have any pics of it? I found these online of my Z...

Yeah, a few shots.




It's dark in there since it's suppose to mimic a club scene It's a photographer's nightmare because of the various light sources.

Did the model leave any marks on your hood? I think her heels scratched the paint on the driver side of the hood, near the fender by the inspection sticker.

Now that pisses me off. I did not know she did that! I will be talking to Mike from Exotic Customs about that!

No I did not know about it! I didn't see it happen at the show, good thing or I would have went ballistic! I emailed Mike, the owner of Exotic Customs and spoke to him on the phone. Thankfully we were on the same page and agreed that this was unacceptable and he apologized. He said he will take full responsibility and do right by this and he said that he would buy & install a carbon fiber hood of my choosing. We discussed the Seibon GT or VT hood. He said he checked my hood while on the phone and he could not see any dents, dings or scratches, but that he would buy me a CF hood anyway, which I thought was a very nice gesture.

I am not happy that this happened, but Mike is a stand-up guy and I respect the steps he is taking to address the issue and to maintain a good business relationship. The model should have known better than to be talked into doing something like that. And you cats taking the pics should know better than to try to talk them into something like that out of respect for the owner of the car who pours their hard earned money into it.

If anything I think the model owes Mike a little something; me, I'm in love with my bride of 14 years.

The irony in it all is the person who wanted the shot of the model on the car wasn't a media photographer, just a random person asking for a pic.

Sorry, I jumped to conclusions. My apologies. She still should have known better.

It is what it is. It's how you proceed that (*really*) matters...

WOW! I think that is the first time my Z has ever gotten the "hotness" compliment -- thanks!


She is more a track rat than a show girl...
