Rule #2. If you have to shoot into the sun, use a nice big flash(yes even during the day) This way both cars will look even better when you can see all the backlit parts that are too dark.

Has anyone seen the vid of the twin turbo ls1 Volvo 740 on eetfirestra. I'd post a link but shouldn't. Most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

The Camaro is faster? I thought you said your car ran like an 12.9?

He must have taken the restrictor plate of that thing.

Dallas, ever have trouble finding your car at night?

I sometimes have to look for just my wheels. I don't know how you do it?

Got blacked-out taillights like the rest of us I'm guessing.

I got the chrome Corvette for the back to help reflect some light.
