Lance, you just joined the smartphone world like two months ago man.

Still hoping to get back this weekend for the Luther meet. I won't be going to CnC. I will need to sleep in a little after driving back Friday. Plus I got a butt load of bugs to wash off my bumper and mirrors! Going to be a quick turnaround. But I do need to leave my G back in MN where it belongs. It really doesnt belong out here in the dusty crap-town.

Honda ain't got **** on the Gs lol, yes I take pics of the mileage for work, but that's the only big benefit (and reliability) I see. I might consider an Acura if the NSX is worth buying this time around and isn't priced over 60k, which I'm sure it will be lol. My boss has been around a lot more lately too and is making sure to keep my nose to the grindstone, so it's been hectic all around. I'm not even doing as much texting as I normally am with people and even Shannan But I hope that will all change when we have the time of our lives starting Tuesday!

I picked up a new 50 to 200mm stabilized lens and am hoping to be able to pick up a 10 to 24 lens as well since it was SOOOOO helpful for some of the rooftop shots and the fact that we are gonna have so damn many cars out in TN and FL that I won't be able to do it all with my standard 18 to 55 lens. Just got back from the gym and tanning, did my laundry earlier time for bed all!

Just make it a priority Mike to not take 30 photos of every single car. It was almost impossible to go through all those photos and pick out the best ones because they were all damn near the same. Don't get me wrong, you got some sick photos in chicago on the rooftop, but don't get so trigger happy

I'm almost wondering if we want one on every other car? How is the battery life normally on a GoPro?

I know a few of the z guys have them as well, I'll hop over on that thread to see if we can borrow any of theirs.

Mike - do you plan to just return them right after or..>???

The thing is, what's the battery live on a GoPro, and how much vid can it hold?

The ride from NC to FL is like 14 hours. I'm more concerned about making sure we have them for the tail of the dragon at the very least. That's the #1 priority.

F*CK, that reminds me....I need to book that damn hotel in Knoxville yet...F*CK!!!!!!!!!!!! on that riiiiiiiiiiiiiight now

I'm keeping mine that I already have, that's a given!! I'm buying one for Andrew and Janik, Tevi is currently trying to talk Tina into getting one before the trip. The battery life is prolly 3 to 4 hours and they can be charged via usb from the car or a laptop or a wall outlet. It takes a standard mini USB. Do keep in mind that the suction cup mount is 10 or 15 bucks for them to attach to and you would want to have at least an 8gb memory card which when on sale is 10 or 15 bucks too.

Can't remember the last time my car has been so dirty that rain actually helped it look cleaner

On a different note... I got my wheel locks ordered and should be here tomorrow.
