Oh yea!! I completely forgot! I get those PMs every once in a while on the org, but nobody has ever pulled the trigger. Way to go!!

Welcome to CL!

Excellent choice in car!

I am sure you will continue to mod your car. Looking forward to the inevitable drop and bigger wheels!

17's and even 18's look small on a GS.

I have three cameras I shoot with. I use either a Canon 20D or 300D/Rebel body. Depending on the subject (car or people), I will include either external flash or studio flash. Lenses that I use are: 28-80mm f2.8 L lense (my favorite; weighs more than camera body ~5lb), 50mm f1.8 prime, and 28-105 f3.5 USM lense. The third camera is a Canon SD100 (DIY fully polished casing) P&S, which I carry in my pocket.

Here is a picture of the 20D body and 50mm prime lense, taken with the 300D and L lense, with studio flash/wireless sync.

This picture of my girlfriend was taken with the 20D and L lense in the mirror at my apartment with a studio flash/wireless sync.

Mine looks like that but it has an umbrella at the end. So the umbrella will be facing the subject and the light will be facing away from the subject.

Oh, what's up, man. It is always good to switch over from a Honda to a Lexus. The Honda scene is getting out of control now (good way) with their K-series swaps and what not. They dump more money into their Civics then I can ever imagine. Nevertheless, I am still a Honda boy at heart.

Do you have any pictures of your car(s)?
