I finally got some pics of my Titanium Grey 8!

These first 2 pics are approximately the angle that I first saw an RX-8 at the dealership. My first impression was that the front end was massive looking (because of the extended fenders). It was love at first sight, and the honeymoon continues.

I'll address the "fame" of this place in the next post...

 

Here's a reverse-angle pic (such a sweet machine). The bridge in the background is the world "famous" Lake Accotink Park railroad trestle. It's fame is due to:

1) The original wooden trestle was burned during a raid by Confederate Cavalry during the Civil War, later rebuilt (and better guarded) by the Union.

2) It's also the structure used by the 1997 Darwin Awards Runner-Up (Bungee Jumper). He used a homemade bungee arrangement in jumping off the trestle, but failed to account for the fact that bungee cords stretch. http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin1997-05.html

 

Nice! Excellent color I might add.

 

is it where you lost your virginity? :D

 

^ lmao...

Cool pics, though!

 

nice pics especially the part with no snow on the ground!

 

Sorry, I got distracted by the chick stretching in the background :D

 

Damn, our cars are gorgeous!

 

That person in the background looks like she's tied to the post awaiting, uhhh, someone...

Nice car btw! Looks kinda like mine :D

-Rupes

 

AHEM...

1 - The "chick" in the background is my daughter.
2 - She's 9 years old.

Grrr...

 

Uhhh, give it up for markd and rupes! :clap: :clap: :clap:

:D

 

Hahahaha... This thread just keeps getting better, yet continues to go downhill.

 

Haha, I never said I was scoping her out! Just looks funny how you composed te shot in regard to the foreground/background perspective--she almost looks like a dwarf on your car in the second picture.

 

This is gonna get good.

 

Some people on this board have a keen eye. I didn't even notice it at first. The second pic looks like a little fairy putting a stake in your 8.

I was actually thinking the famous place was like the Lincoln memorial but nice pics.

 

So you are saying the intriguing composition is what truly distracted you?

 

Heh. :D

 

hahaha, the kid in the 2nd picture looks like a dwarf standing on you hood . Cool pictures, it's nice to learn about interesting places every once in a while...wait...i feel like i'm getting a new wrinkle in my brain...lol

 

I bet the Lincoln Memorial would make a great backdrop. And it's not far from here, hmmm . . .

Actually I was thinking more of trying to do a nighttime pic, from across the Potomac, city lights reflecting off the water, with one or more recognizable monuments in the background.

Hmmm . . . Maybe I should take a drive downtown and take some 8 pics with interesting backgrounds; the Capitol, Washington/Lincoln/Jefferson monuments, White House (if I can get close enough), Air & Space Museum, Museum of Science & Technology, the entrance to CIA headquarters, the police carting me away after taking pics of the entrance to CIA headquarters. . .

 

yes, do that, that would be very original, i've never been to DC so if you take those pics make sure you post 'em.

 

Okay okay, quit bustin' my *****, people! I surrender! :D

Thanks for the support, Czr. By the way, I didn't know Little Caesar's Pizza was still in business... (how's THAT for a distracting subject change? :p)

 

Your a good sport man.










But the flaming must not cease!!!!!!!









j/k dude. :D

 

Soooo, uh, how 'bout that crazy Inauguration ceremony yesterday....? :D

 

Hmm where? LOL jk
