had an 08 c6 for the weekend

So last year at the Autumn Glory Festival here in MD (dont know if any of you have been to it. been listed on MSN 2 years in a row now in the top 5 largest autumn festivals) My brother n law was voted Garrett County's Most Beautiful Person. Hes done alot of charity stuff around here. So anyway he had to be drove in the parade and had to find a nice car to use. One of the guys he has done some computer work for has a sweet 78 vette that he used in the parade

and then an 06 black on black that i got to take for a weekend

So this year the same guy (who by the way i hadent met yet) trades in the 06 for an 08. So last weekend he let me barrow the 08. By far the nicest car ive ever drove. I wish i had a better pic (cell phone camera sucks) but this is the car i want when i get ready to get an LSX car.

Yeah i know. I finally got to meet the guy. He goes to Florida for the winter, but told me I can use it anytime i want over the summer.

Shit eating grin. :lmao:

Id grin if it was a Z06 or ZR1. Otherwise it isnt anything special -shrug-

I wasnt meaning to rain on anyones parade. I was just saying a standard Vette doesnt really do it for me.

That's cool and a much better wording of it to me anyhow. I read that and was like Owch. harsh. but its the internet and it's hard to assign emotion to text. Cheers to you for making it clear and not getting all offended ) !! :nana:

CamaroFan71 No offence taken here at all. Im sure if i owned a SS or Ws6 i might feel the same way. Which I dont yet. Havent found the right one for me. The coolest thing about it all is the fact i just turned 21...and how many people do you know would let someone my age, who they have never met ( until i took the car back) take their vette for a weekend? Most people around here wont even let you take a beater let alone a vette.

They're like $800 or so now 'cos the D90 just came out

the d-80's??? prof please. and i know the d-90 is out. but dropping the d-80 a grand does not make since when there d-60 is around 8-900

well shit your right. just the camera is $900. but i wanted the whole kit and it runs a little more. it was a $600 b-day gift so im hella happy. a camera is like a new computer, buy a new one and its a dinousar 1 week later

i was shopping for this
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....prd96500050004

the only reason I'd go for the D80 over the D90 is 'cos the D90 lost it's lens control motor in favor of the new electronic lenses. Yeah, so what right? Well, the older lenses were much cheaper than the new ones and therefore when I go to buy lenses, I can buy the cheaper/used older lenses and still be able to use the auto focus function, whereas the D90 would force you to use manual focus due to the fact that it can only control the newer electronic lenses. I'm strapped for cash 90% of the time and I don't want to put myself in a tighter situation when I want to buy a lens.

I have a D50 and the reason I went for the D50 over the D40 was the same reason (although the D40 was supposed to replace the D50 ... well, the D60 is out now anyways so now I'm confused) ... I can use the old mechanical lenses and still have auto focus function while the guy who's spending more and to get the newer camera's have to either buy the more expensive electronic lenses or us the cheaper lenses without auto focus.

I just have the kit lens (18-55 electronic), 55-200 and 50mm 1.4f (both mechanical drive) and am happy ... for now
