I'll post a pic of my butt. It sure was frozen on the way home from work today.

Get creative people, I'm excited for this one.

PS--I am happy with this photo.

That's a really cool shot, Mark!

p.s. I'm glad you are happy with it.

Dude, that's ****ing rad, even if it is a civic.

Now I'm just going to think you're hyperbolizing to make me feel better...

What can I say--we are a Honda family--I liked the WRX, but 30mpg from both cars on regular gas puts a smile on my face every day. That, and I never used >100hp on my commute in the WRX, and I stopped taking it for long drives as much, so it just kind of seemed like overkill. Very fun, pretty overkill, but overkill nonetheless.

Also, this is how I save up for my Cayman!

whoa, awesome shot mark!

^ Is that a fit I see?

Indeed.

Yeah, I also have come to the realization a WRX is overkill. Driving a slow car fast (the MINI) is tons more fun than a fast car slow (WRX). My next car will be a hand me down MINI, and Nikki will get some other econo box (Fit, Rabbit, another MINI, ???). Some day I'll build a FFR as my next "fast" car, but otherwise I'm on the whole econobox kick like you. I just figure driving the WRX into the ground makes more sense than picking up something else at this point. Plus in the winter for ski season the WRX + Blizzaks is awesome. Sure the MINI with good snows would also be good, but not as good/fun.

And no I'm not blowing smoke up your ass. I'm liking you new shots, so loosen up.

Ahem...You will need at least 1 4-door car....Especially for Nikki. Trust me.

yeah, and?
Every car I listed has a 4 door variant.

Uhmm....Mini? You thinking Clubman? orwhateveritiscalledthistimearound

edit: Sorry. MINI.

Yep, the clubman (or yeah, whatever the hell they end up calling it) has 4 doors. If we get another MINI, that would be it, but they're getting a bit too expensive. I'll have to see the pricing on it when it's available, and go see one IRL to see if they are big enough. Right now a 4 door TDI rabbit is both our favorites, but this is a few years out, so we'll see what the future has to offer.

Toyota is showing off a Prius pickup truck.

yeah, I just saw that in Autoweek... Finally a good looking hybrid...

Hey now!

http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dl...023/LATESTNEWS

I'm pretty annoyed that 2 days after this started all of our snow is gone and we've had record high temps for 2 days in a row.

same here! It hit 60 today!!! HERE!!!

I think I shot this last week when we had the cold weather (we are now in the 60's again) Its with my work camera P&S sony cybershot.

I will never talk to you again if you get that hideous clubman.

thanks

Yeah, great colors.

I too am bummed by the temp with this assignment, but I figure worst case I'll have to break out the rum and get creative.

I'll get something for this one.

^ Great shot!

OK, here's my frozen:

I'm so sad! Yesterday when I was driving to work, I noticed steam rising off the ground near these trees in my neighborhood. I could tell that the frost on the grass was melting from the morning sun.

I was running late to work so I told myself I would get up early today and go get that shot! But for some reason, I couldn't capture it! To see the steam, the photo was too blown out. And to get the grass, you coudn't see the steam!!

Any ideas?

I've seen exactly what you're talking about Chelsea, the only thing I can think is get up earlier when there is less ambient light to get the steam on a longer exposure. Think that'd work?

That's a good possibility because the sun was definitely shining straight on what I was shooting. If I go to bed early enough tonight, I may try that in the morning, ha ha.

How many images can we submit?????

Shot this today. My friend was a real trooper and modeled for me after work. I couldn't decide which one I liked better. Let me know what you think.

I like the second one best Kat, it brings more focus on your friend and brings you to ponder what shes REFLECTING on.

I like the first better.

I second the 2nd
