Just some quick pictures I took after detailing it one weekend. I added some hood pins, that was quite the interesting task.

Also picked me up a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee for a winter vehicle, so that will be nice.









And I tried to get some "unique" shots I guess. Once again, taken quickly and I did not have the tri-pod on me.

I now have a few parts that will be going on once I get her out of storage:

-Eibach Pro-Kit
-Tokico D-specs
-Steeda sway bars(front and rear)
-18x9F and 18x10R DD Bullits.

They are sitting in the spare bedroom waiting to be put on

Damn... the wind farming biz must be good then? Sad to go into storage. I will be driving mine all winter, so wish me luck.

Nice shots. I like the alleyway best.

Yes, actually; I spent a few days at Fowler Ridge doing quality inspections on most of the tower sections. They are Clipper Turbines, But I don't know if they will be the largest in the country, as for I have been on many large farms in Texas, and I think the largest will be Right here at my side in South Dakota, as for they are putting up nearly 2500 turbines...it will be nuts.

Those turbines are 2.5 Megawatts, 2500 Kw, which is a fairly large turbine compared to most others, I am working on them right now here in Minnesota.


but Thanks for the comments guys, very much appreciated. And no, the tires are mcguired

This is my favorite. Just make sure when you're taking your picture that your center of interest is in focus. It looks like your camera focused on the rear wall. Point the middle of your camera to get your focal point in focus, then move the camera with the shutter still half depressed to frame your shot.

Interesting, I will have to try that. I was unaware you could do that, I am no professional photographer.

Although I am looking into a new SLR, just don't know what to get quite yet.

and maybe crop that garbage can on the left.. Dark gives sound advice, and if you have the ability to pick the focal point in the camera, that's another option.

Nice clean ride and like Dark said that spot is a good one..

Nice ride!

I'm about to put my new Michelin snow tires on in a few weeks. Yeah, I drive my car year round...this is my 2nd winter with the Mustang, and first with the snow tires.

Oh...off topic....I saw the 2010 Mustang GT in Dearborn, MI today...white/black painted camo. We passed each other on the road...didn't get a great look at it. Damn.

I also like that photo. Would like to see all of the car in the photo, though. On many cameras you can move the area where it focuses. I find it easier, as was said, to focus on your main subject with it in the center, lightly depress the shutter to hold the focus, and then recompose.
I recommend the Nikon D90 which will also take HD video on the same card. About $1300 with a lens. The Nikon D300, the camera I own, is also great. But no video and $1700 or so without a lens.
