True it's hard to get the right light mid-day. Did you read the how to shoot a car thread? I think it's a sticky in the photography section.

I have a olympus E-410 so I'm still learning how to use it. The pictures are completely different from my other camera a fuji 9500.

Hopefully someone will be at the oxnard meet to give pointers for us amatuers.

I have read that sticky in the photography forum, great tips. I'm sure there will be some experienced photographers to learn from at the Oxnard meet. Just watching more experienced people take pictures has helped me learn quite a bit.

^ I'm sorry to hear that you and your car got hurt. Glad you could walk away from it though - that's what important. Let us know if you need anything...

Damn that sux.... At least you're alrite. Make sure you go to a chiropractor for that neck and back, and tell the other insurance company to fix your car clean!!! So you can make it to the next run with us again.

Take cares bro.

Nice turnout.

solopresident, how does the Fast Intentions exhaust on a G37 (stock cats I assume) compare to one on a G35?

Wonder if it sounds anything like mine.

I remember seeing your car when we met up at iHop for the BBQ, but I believe you didn't have the exhaust back then, if I recall.

Here are some videos if you were curious:

With High Flow Cats:
& http://videos.streetfire.net/video/6122a578-9def-40fe-b783-991c013267c6.htm (bad audio quality)

With Resoanted Test Pipes (my car ):

With resonated test pipes, my car is LOUD. It definately sounds very nice & always get complimented. But it's borderline for a daily driven car in terms of loudness

Great meet guys, one of the best ones in years actually

Fast07GSdn and Alex_Z great driving at the end of the run. Not bad for a stock 07 sedan and stock G37.

We should gather in a small group and do a more serious run sometime. If u guys are down for that let me know and I will be available for any weekend. I would love to tackle the latigo or even stunt with u guys.
