Be sure to google search "palomar mountain photography" in a couple of days. There are a few photographers who stake out on the corners and you can find some nice action shots on their websites.

Awesome road!

I followed the manual really well. "...except in emergencies".

I had about 3 "emergencies."

But the highest I've revved was probably up to 5700 once.

Saturday: picked it up in Colorado Springs. Left Denver 3PM, got to Las Vegas at 5AM, stopped more times than I can count to admire the majestic Rocky Mountains.

Sunday: drove her home from Las Vegas.

And took this pic in the middle of Utah:

30 second exposure f/2.8 at around ISO1200... frankly, if you're in the middle of an area with zero light pollution, the skies will end up looking like that.

The car was lit up with a flashlight (I made about 2 passes with the light source over 2 seconds).

Couldve been a better shot if I wasn't pressed for time. Plus I don't know how to use Photoshop so I am not doing some HDR photo... this is as-is out of my camera, compressed on Imgur.

Edit: also, no moon helps a LOT.

I don't watch football, but at least you didn't say, "Go UVA!"

Got my windows tinted today. Went VA legal: 50% sides, 35% rear.

Sunlight from behind:







I have a little dip left over from my wheels, thinking of doing the fender strakes orange to match the wheels this week.
