Mesa Verde, Colorado. The bright star is Altair. this was a 2 second exposure.

I just changed my oil myself. this was my 8’s third oil change. the first two were performed by dealerships (1st by the dealership I bought it from, second by a highly recommended dealership). I didn’t jack the car up at all. the crush washer I removed from the oil drain plug had been painted black! it must have been the factory crush washer. so two different dealerships must not have bothered to replace it.

Just held the digital camera to the eyepiece and shot some pictures. To get the moon to come out at all, I set a custom white balance, turned exposure compensation down as far as it would go (to -2). the exposure time was only 1⁄6 s. this is jupiter. the 4 smaller blurry dots are the 4 ‘gallilean’ moons (the 4 largest moons that galilleo could see with his telescope in the 16th century).

Right after a wash and wax

Pictures of the engine.

The presidential election process in our great nation, the United States of America, is such a fucking joke. Presidential Candidates arrested while trying to serve court documents The paper the candidates were trying to serve to the Commission on Presidential Debates

Washed the car, had to take a few more pics and drive up to the lake overlook.

Drove up to canyon lake, took a few pictures.

The stock tire seems to be too narrow for the stock wheel. The stock tires are Bridgestone Potenza A030 at P225/45ZR18. Once they are worn out, I plan to go to P245/40R18.
