hot as hell but a fun show, got to meet 2 other 8 owners as well!

pics are available at www.audiofxaustin.com/texasshowdown2008

56k beware, I took really big ones to use for backgrounds without having to stretch or tile them etc etc.

there are thumbnails too though.

The one with the lambo doors is automatic also. I remember him debating whether or not to even go turbo with the car since it was automatic. He also owns a eclipse show car too.

oh snap, you posted! no worries man, mine's an automatic as well, and I could give 2 craps what people think about it not being a stick. My commute would be pure hell in a stick, plus the dealership was putting premiums on them and made an offer on mine that was too goo to pass up anyway. The day other people are paying for my ride will be the first day I care what tranny I have
