Default Quick pic of the front of my Z

Just a quick pic of the front of my Z, since I have posted the back some time ago. I think the last owner was trying to match the color of the grille to the amber blinker lights. No matter how careful I try to be, the poor bottom gets scraped :/

My car has no cool name. I do commonly refer to it as the only one I like driving.

Different strokes...
I'd prolly put the ribs back to gray and get white front markers.
Nice heels, btw.

Not to change the subject or anything but seeing that you added a photographer name makes me think how people make money going around and taking pictures of cars and ladies and makes me wonder where I went so wrong.

I thought about it a few times, and the last owner put the burnt orange on the grille part, and left the side reflectors stock. I kinda like the burnt orange on the black tho, adds a touch of color to the car. Lol thank you those heels go with everything

Lol haha where did you go so wrong at?
And some photographers can go as high as 500 or more which is waaay out my budget lol. Since I got a friend in LA that works in the music biz, I only had to pay 200 for my shoot. I admit it must be nice to do that all day as a living than sitting at a desk all day.

Haha I tow broken down cars all day. I take pictures for fun in my free time. I should get new gear and go into business. I usually like birds and stuff though. It would probably be easier doing human's.

Yeah cameras just like cars someone always has the latest and greatest and its hard to stay current, I spent a lot on lenses when I got my dslr like 5 years ago now my whole system is obsolete, still takes good pictures but so does my cell phone. I have olympus 4/3rds lenses now all the new bodies use micro 4/3rds bastards.

Wow, nicely done
Yea it seems like camera technology updates really fast. I was thinking of looking into it soon but the radio and amp in my Z comes first. I just have 2 small digital cameras, both way ancient now lol. What would be some good brands to look into?

Everyone will tell you something different as far as camera equipment goes honestly the best camera is the one you have when something interesting shows up.

It also depends on what you plan to do with it. The point and shoot cameras are pretty good these days and will serve most people's needs just fine. If you like to play around with stuff any name brand dslr should get you started, old manual lenses on adapters can be fun and can still produce decent pictures but it takes practice and patients. Lenses get expensive they cost more then the cameras usually but most cameras come with a kit lens that will get you started but sky is the limit.

So to answer your question I would look into a micro 4/3rds Olympus digital slr they are lots of options and they all have good reviews. And then I would get an adapter and start buying old om manual lenses because they are fun to mess with...

Here are some picture from an om lens on an adapter.. They dont all come out good but sometimes they do.









That is a fly... A very small fly

Hey thanks for the info
After the radio and amp are done in the Z, then I will start looking into getting a newer camera. I have 2 point and shoots, one old school and one semi old school lol. As far as practicing they seem to do the job well.
Those are very impressive pics. You thought about taking that to the next level and having your own photography biz?

No not really. Thats the product of about 100 pictures that didnt come out so well. I thought about doing some wedding photography but if I got a bunch of crap pictures I would feel bad. So I stick to my day job.

What are you getting for a new stereo? My factory head unit had some issues with cd's skipping and I didn't love the tape deck aux setup. So my stereo was swapped the first month I had it. My amp sits in the factory sub cubby and I have a small sub in the back and I replaced all the speakers and removed the factory bose amp in back.

Im thinking of pulling my amp and sub out though because I don't think I'll miss it. I was impressed with my box fitment under the strut bar but it gets in the way on Costco trips.
