....my phone took better pictures, and if I didn't have a crack in my windshield I took this a few weeks ago with my Nokia 3220, before I got my new samsung e635 which takes awesome pictures. This was taken in my 85 GS heading north on 371 between Pine River and Backus, MN for those of you familiar with the area.

That is sad to be going only 60 in 5th at 4000RPMs. 70 is 3500RPMs in 5th for me. 4000 is about 80 or so

Awesome! Its good to know that there are other rotorheads around!

blwfly: The dash is gray Just looks black due to lack of sun (winter!)

That picture was taken a few months ago, on one of those days near the end of winter when the roads were dry enough to sneak a ride in.

is there a way to photoshop the first picture to take out the crack in the windshield and clear it up a bit?

you could crop the crack out . . . or take the time to use the smudge tool to blend the surrounding colors over the crack. its tough making it look unnoticable. this pic make me miss driving my seven. only 1 more week and she will be back
