Happy Friday gang! Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Temps are once again over 110*, so no cruising for me. Plus we may actually see rain here this weekend.

Managed to shoot some stupid photos with my new camera. It does produce very nice photos. The colors are real nice. Hope I can go to a SEMA cruise here next weekend and shoot some cars.

Cool pics!

I am sick to death of grown Azz men acting like middle school drama queen girls & strirring up drama & hurtfulness all the time. Today I had to deal with unfriending & blocking former Camaro club members on C5 & Facebook because they were talking trash about me in public on Facebook. Grrrrr!!!!!! They asked me to leave them alone & I have & gave up the club I worked hard to build up. Why the heck won't they return the favor & leave me alone? I held off on responding to them & tried to hold off Mike but he finally could not take it any more & let them have it. I have never done anything to them. I hate mean people.

Rant over.

:wave: Some people are just plain A-Holes & then there ar the constant Big A- Holes that thing there crap don't stink and can do no wrong in their empty minded head. This is the reason I don't and will not use Facebook.

Good luck with these people Ruby. :biggrin:

69supersport396 07-08-2017 09:28 AM

Sorry you had to go through this Jan. I certainly see no reason to talk trash about you. Or anyone.

Maybe they are not GROWN men.

RubyCamaro 07-08-2017 09:45 AM

Thanks guys. The posts got pulled down after Mike responded to them but still dread seeing them at the Fest.

BLU DUCE 07-08-2017 11:18 AM

Well your probably a lady. But me I don't give a crap. If I see them I just tell them to their face right in public. Don't bother me a dam bit. And it always makes me feel so much better.

RubyCamaro 07-08-2017 03:00 PM

With this crew, It would not matter much. It just gives them something else to twist into their own interpretation of reality & trash talk some more. They just don't care. But I don't think they want to mess around with Mike!

69supersport396 07-08-2017 09:38 PM

Take the high road.

Or ignore them.

I've never been to a Camaro Fest, but if it is large enough, maybe you will not see them.

RubyCamaro 07-08-2017 10:50 PM

Beech Bend will be fine, it is a big place. At NCM less places to avoid each other.

SkipNWis 07-08-2017 10:56 PM

Jan that's the reason I never got into a "CLUB". I seen the same shit in the HOG groups I was a member of.

Sorry to hear Jan - I'm just too old for drama in my life! Hope everything works out and that you are able to avoid them at Camaro Fest! Have Fun - I tried to make it this year but I'm going to be in Roanoke for meetings until Friday --- :mad:

Any Ol' Farts coming to the Fest?

69supersport396 07-09-2017 06:51 PM

Thanks Trick, and thanks for the C&C photos. Looks like a nice turn out.

One of these years I would like to go to a Fest Jan.

Day 3 of being sick. It is not like me to sleep in the afternoon during the weekend. I'm usually doing something. :thumbdown:

The thing I love most about my job is that I can work from anywhere. Sunrise at Daytona Beach this morning!

Feel better soon Rick.

Great sunrise pic Trick.

69supersport396 07-10-2017 10:55 AM

Thanks Jan. Feeling better today.

I ~could~ work from anywhere too, as long as there is internet access. If I could, I'd love to work from here;

Good to hear that you're feeling better Rick! Yes, that would be a great place to work from. I took my Hot Spot & Computer down to the beach. This was the view from my office today........:)

Nice work if you can get it!

I got a nice surprise today. While cleaning out my interior I realized my floor mats were warn out & ordered some. They were cheaper than I have ever seen them & I have never had any for the back. I never thought I'd get them in time for the fest but they arrived today! Sweet! Pics:



69supersport396 07-12-2017 06:07 PM

Where did you buy them?

RubyCamaro 07-17-2017 12:05 PM

Bought on Ebay; only $50.

I had a blast at the Fest. Brought home lots of cool purchases & free swag. Bought so much big stuff Mike could not bring his 4th Gen on Saturday because we needed the truck to haul stuff! Pics here:

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=501709

Large items that required the truck were 2 ACS Composites Hood liners for our 5th gens & one for a friend that we got for killer deals.

I had a blast at NCM with a great coach riding with me to teach me & then he took me for a wild ride in his serious track prepped race car. Wooo Hooo!!!!! I was sad I did not get to run brackets because they were running V6 & brackets back to back after the schedule got messed up. I was running so consistent I probably could have taken a V8 or 2 down. Brought home this little piece of hardware though.

I got a bi on the semi final round which luckily put me into the finals for the V6 drag class. This gave the chance to get a good video of a solo run to hear my exhaust at WOT. Just listen. Not bad for a V6 huh?

Rained again this weekend, so I still haven't been able to shoot car cruise photos with my new (to me) camera.

Yesterday, my buddy Bob suggested we do a photo shoot of this car he just picked up from an estate sale. It's a 1990 Olds Cutlass Supreme Convertible.

I shot a ton more than this. Very please with the photos, but I still need to learn this camera.

Looking forward to this. :cool:

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Between my "old" camera and this "new to me" camera, I think I have all of my bases covered for the type of photography I like to do.

Thinking about driving one of my cars over to this little park and shooting it. Practice makes perfect.
