    I liked the blacked out look (see Milo's ride!), but it seems like bad luck naming your car "death wagon". Unless you're providing hearse services?

    That'll look just like 7wolf's car when you take the rails off. Lemme know if you've got any questions regarding that install, its pretty straightforward.

    As for a good camera man, what are you looking to do? I am a pro photographer could definately be of service.

    By the way, how come I keep seing these large avitar and signature photos when I was limited to a certain size? I want a bigger photo too!

    I took half of these in norcross. The rest are from a ride to the Tail of the Draggon.

    As for a camera man, yeah we need a good one. My friend Jenn is a pro photographer and she will be coming to the Subaru Challenge to take some pics of everyone. So they should turn out good.

    as for the avitars thats probably a question for alex or milo is probably due to the fact that your a junior member i'm guessing.....

    nice site BTW.....

    Very cool! Yes, I got a chance to meet Jenn. She is very cool. She had asked me where I got my press pass and I was like, um nope, no press pass here. It was not that formal of an event thank goodness. Otherwise I would have needed to break out my AJC badge. I have not seen her photos from the event just yet. I don't think she has posted them yet. Here is a link to the shots I took. I am planning on doing a stop animation to some music with them. I should have that up in a couple days or so.

    By the way, it was nice getting the chance to meet you in person. Loved the ride!

    email me what you want photoshoped. I am a member of NAPP (national association of photoshop professionals). I am a pimp in that software. paulperdue@perduevision.com What is it that you would like to see happen with the photos? Color corrections, colorizations, BW, Sepia, custom digital tweaking, you name it. Today is looking slow at work so I might have some time to hit em up.

    I was your starter at the Subaru Challenge. I loved your wagon. The black wheels really set the whole thing off.
