Maybe that's why Wes lost oil on the way home; he thought he could rev to 9k...

Okay I'm done bashing/joking. Please take it light heartedly. In fact, feel free to bash me for being an MS3 douchebag...

Haha, no problem man. For what I paid for the car, I make fun of it just as much. I'm kinda surprised it made it. Maybe not the engine so much, but the rest of it, aluminum siding and all!

heres a pic of jeffs p5 and wes's miata both are a lil overdone to my personal preference but that red was a TOTAL b**** to work with hahaha

Those look pretty good. I'd say the personal flaw I see is that some parts look artificially boosted, like in the one with my Miata, the foreground looks normal, and the forest is like exploding, and then the sky is a bit brown, but only on the upper left side. If you had more time (not saying you should), the only thing I can think or know of is to try masking different areas so that things maybe are a bit more even, you know? That might help with Pablo's wheels.

I know some people shoot an image in RAW and then "expose" it differently in PS, but those are usually the fake looking HDR's, I think. I've never been successful with it. I've got CS4, and I've played around with it, and never gotten things to look like the 'pros' do.

mine is 3-4 exposures then create the HDR photo with Photomatix pro... i can adjust everything but that red was a pain, i said the pics were more oversaturated than i like but they have a kinda cool look to them... ill probably sit down tonight and play with the pics to try to get an HDR more to my liking

The only reason I got left behind the whole time was because you three (plus the Altima we picked up) were all flying through closing gaps between cars in the left lane and semis in the right lane and by the time it was my turn there wasn't enough room, and I wasn't about to do the Mustang trick from F&F2.. Or the Civic trick from F&F1..

But it's actually got plenty of power in 4th, and 4th is good til about 105, so I guess I could have ridden it out all the way. Pablo didn't pull on me any if I was sitting 4th, but he was probably at about half throttle in 5th..

There was no way anyone was going to keep up with Evan 2 when he led the Altima on a chase.. I rounded the one turn before the tunnel and they was just gone!

I couldn't believe that Altima kept up with me! He pushed me farther than I expected (naughty). I was kinda glad I was alone in the tunnel ahead of you guys, I got a really good video of me wailing on it in there haha. On the way there, all I could hear in the tunnel was a deafening exhaust from Evan's P5 lol

I got a bunch of pics I'm transferring right now, I'll upload them soon. Maybe I'll upload some videos too.

Also, I'm proud you kept up Wes!! haha

Might want to rethink posting your street racing stories here. There's a pretty much zero tolerance policy here about that.

 

[Evan9999]

Here's a little album I threw together real quick. The are from a point and shoot, so they aren't the best quality lol.

HAHA!! This picture summarizes our drive down there...Left lane is for passing morons!!

Look at those sexy cars

 

[thejeans]

LOL at evan in that pic...

 

[Lewis7789]

Haha! I told you guys I'm an asshole... And I'll clean up my posts about driving fast on the highway, nate0123. We weren't street racing, just driving quickly because I'm an impatient bastard. But no worries.

Going in excess of 100 and talking about it on a open forum is still a No-No, no matter how you look at it.


Cleaning up posts. May this be a warning for you "people". hahaha

I don't think anyone said or bragged that we went in excess of 100mph. If my post got misconstrued when I said that 4th gear was good for 105, that didn't mean that I was going that fast, what I meant was that I could have stayed in 4th for the whole trip, if I wanted my revs to be through the roof.

Sorry for the confusion.

 

[Lewis7789]

I deleted my post about speeding. Sorry, mods. No worries.

 

[jri4]

-yo pizza boy, find another route home, this roads closed
-g'ddam street racers

i know of a forum with excellent, knowledgeable info and you can talk about your street racing stories, and post vids all you want

note: forgot this wasn't the ohio section...ohio section folks would understand that magenta font means sarcasm...not to be taken seriously

I really wish my car was cleaner by the time we got there haha. Damn road construction!!
