Sure thing. Looks like you might have upgraded your setup? Those landscapes are pretty boss.

Kinda... I went from the D50 of high school to a D80, but then sold that and got a D2h. Its more of a sports camera than an "artsy" one, if you know what I mean.

Your D70 (thats what you have, right?) actually has more pixels. Probably my favorite purchase though was the 30mm prime lens that I took most of those landscapes with. So much fun to play with. It can almost see in the dark compared to my other lenses!

Sporty ain't bad though, just a little different take on it. It looks good, in any case! XD

Yeah, I still have the D70. Jealous of the lens though! They look great, I can't wait to have some spendin' money to upgrade my kit.

Haha thanks... if only you knew how many terrible shots I threw away to get the halfway decent ones..

Isn't that everyone's goal? My 2cents is always spend money on the lenses before the camera. I kinda wish I still had my D50 sometimes. Do you have a wishlist for camera stuff?

Excellent reasoning... I just got myself a rather large unexpected expense, so I'm in super saver mode too.

What's your current? I don't think I heard.

Delilah...gahahahg good god she's a cranky old bitch. That back suspension is still squeaking, and the back window rattles if you go over 45.
The drivers side front tire look perpetually flat from the bent frame, too. She whines and complains a lot, but I get where i need to go, heh.

Heh, you aren't going to stop laughing for a while after you read this.....
I bought a '90 Geo Storm. In aqua.
A friend dubbed him Dumbledore because he is a creaky old man who is unquestionably queer.

I just had to replace the rotors and pads on the front, and the suspension is pretty creaky too but I attribute that to old age more than signs of serious problems. I'm sad that I'm A) broke B) busy C) not living somewhere with a garage, because I feasibly could do my own work on this thing.

DEAR GOD, MAN /WHY/.

I hope you payed under like 600 for it xDDD


At least you right about doing your own work on it. Since its pretty small (and older, now) you should be able to do most of the dirty work without much trouble and maybe some help from the gold old Interwebs, lawl.

because the only 86 corolla I could find was taupe, automatic, and had a body that was rusted out worse than... anything I'd ever seen before.

Actually paid quite a bit more than that, but get this... It had under 35k on it! (and I totally carfax'd it because I didn't believe the seller)

The internets have told me to put a turbo in it. And apparently one of the versions came with a lotus designed suspension setup.

The non-Geo branded version had a turbo and AWD, so (if I could ever find parts) I could rebuild it into a schnazzy rally car.

Likelihood of that happening is approaching negative infinity though. Even if I had money, only 1000 of that particular version ever hit the US shores. And I know a bunch were destroyed via racing and/or retarded teenagers.
