Went for a drive to break in new brake pads and this is where I ended up.

Nice stuff. You have some good skills and a great camera. I'd love to see some pictures with more car and less background. (don't get me wrong, your backgrounds are awesome, I just love a close-up focus on a good wagon) :)

I would say the first 2 are good for the ipd catalog.

yeah remember? I took your sig pic :rofl:

Background is what it's all about, my car's ugly up close.

Here's some of my car (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mistayuck/sets/72157601708697429/)
and some more (http://bsphotographs.com/albums/white240/)

Concord Type 1s from Discount Tire I think...previous owner put them on the car @ about $500 total.

I would say the first 2 are good for the ipd catalog.
Doubt it, the IPD parts on this are as follows:
1. Sound Deadening under Hood
2. Reading Light

Bilstein HDs from Shox.com ($100 savings), KN Filter from Amazon, ceramic brake pads from Eeuroparts, dash mat from the JY, floormats from Schucks ($3.50 for a set of 4 clearanced)

**and what would be in it for me anyway?**

oh yeah! I hope you don't mind me using that picture, its the only picture I have of the car that isn't dirty. I'll definitely try and get a meet going if I can ever get my black car reliably running again.

best angle possible at the time, if you don't like that one, look at the other 2.

I don't give a rip about photo rules.

LOL! Lowered.

That's a funny word.

a foot of snow in wintertime makes it downright HILARIOUS.

And if it aint rollin on my Concords or Hubcapped Steelies, I roll on my bicycle.

If you would have had stock hubcaps on that first pic I would have sworn it was a genuine Volvo ad picture. Awesome shot.

IPD catalog is like looking at a Playboy.
Good for making love to your hand, but I'd rather !@#$!
