I was bored so I took some pics...

It finally stopped raining long enough to wash and wax my car. I just got a new camera so I thought I'd dick around with it and take some pics...

I know it would look better dropped, but it's my daily driver for work and I know I'd never get out of the parking lot at my office without scraping (it has a steep incline to the main road)...

You should get bored more often. Nice pics. You obviously have a nice camera so why not hit a nice park or industrial setting and take some artsy shots?

COOL!

Thanks guys - forgot to attach one other I took...

LOL - thanks. I just got a Nikon DSLR so definitely I'll get some better backdrops when I have the time. I was actually at the train station for these shots so my kids could watch trains!! (those are my two boys looking at a train about to pass by on the last pic I posted). They were quite pissed actually when we got home and I didn't have any shots of the train

I shoot a D80 myself. It becomes pretty easy to spot other nice camera shots when you have one! I love mine.

I got my window visors at the Toyota dealer at time of purchase -they are a genuine Toyota product. The 'in channel' ones look a lot better in my opinion as they don't cover the chrome window trim. I also like the smoked color as it matches my hood deflector and tint nicely.

I'm definitely hooked. I got the D40x with the 18-55 lens but I'm going to pick up a 55-200 VR lens - or ideally the 18-200VR if the Mrs. allows it. It really takes photography to the next level that's for sure.

Looks great!

Question: (1) What tire shine did you use and (2) does it slough off onto the body when you drive?

[OddJack]

Nice rims man, perfect for the color. Can you put on taller tires to fill up the gap? Would look nicer imo

I use Turtle Wax Platinum Series non-drip tire gel. It's a great product but unfortunately seems to have been discontinued.

It doesn't usually spin off onto the car if I let it sit for 15 minutes in the sun to dry after applying. That said, it has occasionally spun off with my new tire/rim package and +35 offset - most likely a combination of me over-applying, not letting it dry long enough, and my rubber being flush with the body.

The pics actually make the tires look less shiny than in real life. It gives a great gloss that lasts well after a good rain.

I picked up a box on Ebay a few months ago.
