The best part is he showed up the day the pic was taken too, he just parked to my left and I didn't take another shot that showed all the cars in a row

Now Chris is in Oklahoma too...

Honestly, I didn't know other people used that phrase... People always looked funny at me when I said it. But now I don't feel so alone :-), oh, and I found an annoying rattle in the driver's side door :-(

Hey I gots me a question. The RX was running 92 octane before and I put 87 in the tank this time round to see how it would do. The car is having a very rough idle at 1000 or less...Could this be due to the octane?

Don't cheap out on gas, its less than 3 dollars extra per fill up....stop getting coffee at starbucks between fill ups and it pays for its self.

Yeah, happens when the music is really bumping around...I'm guessing something is lose or needs to be dyno matted.

the door panel comes off easily so you can have a look in there and try to find it.

Yeah, ever since I lowered my car I've developed some pretty irritating rattles. I'm gonna have to start pulling stuff apart and tightening some screws (well, clips probably).

Here's a couple newer shots of my car too:




If anyone ever feels like doing a photoshoot I'm always up for it. I haven't done any shoots with other 8s.

I use a Canon 7D.
It's usually in Program mode so that it selects the ISO, shutter speed, etc. automatically unless I need to set it manually for a specific shot.
And my camera has a 19 point AF system that works awesome, so I only use manual focus under really low light conditions or to focus on really specific parts of an image.
