Last time there was ultimately no rain either.

I'd like to try out some rolling shots. Who has the softest suspension? I'm going to need to sit in the trunk while the car being shot paces diagonally from behind. This will be done in the storage facility, while traveling around 5-10 mph. What do you guys think? I've got a couple new things in mind, this being one of them. hahaha

Yes i miss the ones james's friend took back on salmon falls!

Taylor has the softest suspension.....then im next or you? Or wait.....Ric might be the softest since his car is senior status out of all of ours.

Kioshi · 04-14-2011, 03:14 AM

Who has a gopro cam? It gives me crazy ideas....mainly from HTM's dragon runs....

ezhacker1 · 04-14-2011, 04:03 AM

If my friend goes with me, you camera guys will have a blast.

I will try to get my car cam more rigid. Its more of the fact that its attached to the headrest, the seat has some forth and back play. Im sure i can motion track stabilize it later tho.

I would say if Tomate goes, she would have the softest suspension. My car would not be anywhere near soft as the TRD shocks and S.Tech combo is pretty harsh (car barely moves when I get in or out). I'm not sure what everyone else is lowered on, so I don't know who would have the softest set up if Tomate doesn't go.

Why is that? Or will that be a surprise?

A little car shaking contest should tell us haha.

PS.....anyone coming from south bay or east bay......take 280. Stupid gps says to take 101 but it takes you through SF downtown.....BIG NO NO if you dont want to get hit by muni buses or drivers there. <==This was my experience from last time...

He's a camera guy.

Kaotic Lazagna · 04-15-2011, 07:51 PM

Oh, sweet! Yeah, his pics will probably turn out better than mine since I'm still using only a D40. :'(

Kioshi · 04-16-2011, 12:41 AM

Bump~~~

So, Advocate, Pur Blu, and I should be rolling together up to Mill Valley.
So I am assuming we will be taking highway 80 onto 101 N..

Kaotic Lazagna · 04-16-2011, 12:59 AM

Is everyone washing their cars Sunday morning? lol

Kioshi · 04-16-2011, 01:28 AM

^ regarding that matter....i think so~

Just talked w/ Sean, he's pretty busy today and tomorrow. So most likely Sunday.

I'm closing tomorrow till 10:30p....have to wake up early Sunday to wash and spray wax...

I hope Im not lazy :P

computerlove87 · 04-16-2011, 01:43 AM

I'm on progress springs and tok blues, so i doubt it, although the caddy can beat any car for softness LOL

1. The caddy is like a morbidly obese person...it stops jiggling about a minute after you shake it. LOL

2. If you are going through SF, you really have no choice but to go downtown really. I recommend going Van Ness to Lombard to the GG bridge

although if you are coming from the south-east bay, you are much better off just going 880 to 80 to 580 (follow the signs for Vallejo/Sacramento and eventually San Rafael.

Saturday night for me. I could bring my detailing kit along though. LOL

Kaotic Lazagna · 04-16-2011, 02:40 AM

Uhhh, guys:

Sunday: A 20 percent chance of rain. Partly sunny, with a high near 66. West wind between 6 and 8 mph.

Sunday Night: Rain likely. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 50. Southwest wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

That's for Mill Valley for Sunday. And that's from weather.gov, not .com. Crap! I guess it's going to be a dirty car meet. I'm not going to wash my car if there's a chance of rain, even if it is just 20%. hahahaha

Kaotic Lazagna · 04-16-2011, 02:42 AM

Damn, if it's raining during the meet, it's going to be hard to do a photoshoot.

Kioshi · 04-16-2011, 03:05 AM

How about the storage, we can do a shoot there, right?

I desperately need to wash my car.....I think I am going to chance it :P

Thanks for the weather update Laz.

***Taylor****

Are there any structures where we can all park our cars and do a mini photoshoot before the cruise? If not, we can cruise first and find great scenery to photoshoot as well.....

You know the place better than any of us....so please lead the way...
