my truck doesnt have cruise. just spent 10 hours driving it to and from butte, including the closures and detours on the interstate from the rock slide outside st regis. it wouldve been nice to have cruise control.

Do you mean that was just the camera? I thought you masked the car and pumped the shit out of it.

Interesting.

The Gullwing was breathtaking, so much history and design innovation still being copied today.

My contemporary favorites were the BMW R nineT, Ducati Monster, Jaguar F-Type and Bentley Continental GT.

Curious about the RS 1.0 with the black TRD wheels. The upgrade wasn't shown on the Monroney label. Is that a running change? Special edition pricing is getting a little steep at $33K although $1K of that is the absurd head unit, puts it into a whole new competitive segment of fat cars that will be shopped despite all the FR-S goodness.

Had a good conversation with the guys at PRE who claim they have more twin upgrades planned despite selling their FR-S and trying to sell their display BRZ at the show.

Gary Bockman, also in the racing area, told me the story of his record setting run at the Silver State Classic where he and his car owner averaged 207 mph over 90 miles of public roads in Nevada.

Overall, it was the best show in years. Even Porsche coughed up the cash for a display. I guess the economy is doing better for some than others.

no it was super bright in the raw file too. its hard to shoot in the direct sun regardless but i know when ive shot ferraris in the past in red, the camera isnt the best with it. i need to learn some tricks to get it right but i desaturated the red tones from those photos because it was too much to begin with.

also which one of you assholes has the plate that says TOYBARU. i wanted that one. damnit.
