No more SUV'S?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Well Tony, to be honest with you, I cannot explain the existence of these particular SUVs here is South Florida (for example)...
Besides being "ridiculous gas guzzlers", there is not much of an area to use 4x4s... the terrain here is as flat as it gets... (not much fun if you ask me). Besides, most of those drivers don't even know what 4x4 driving is...(and for the money they spend on those vehicles, I would definitely be looking at some other models)

Clear skies, and better gas usage to all... 8)

Rain Rain Go Away

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

That looks pretty nice Kerry! 8)
Next time, try to get longer exposures... (you might need to get a special control cable for this though, as the regular USB cable has a limitation of 30secs)

Thanks for sharing, and keep it up! wink
