Decided to go out and take some pics with the new camera. Nothing special, no filters or modifications at all, don't know how to do any of that **** if i wanted to...All taken with Auto but with manual focus, again nothing special. And she isn't the prettiest but i love her so here:

Unfortunately she wasn't taken very good care of before i got my hands on her, and all of this is the result...I have enough money to maintain but not to restore, namely the paint job and a new engine

I don't know about the Only way to go but its definitely one of the quickest ways to hit up a mountain road. It would be awesome if you came along though!

Sean I think we'll meet up by 12:00pm at Central and Juan tabo by the movie theater. Hopefully we can roll out by 12:15 or so.....that late folks will just have to catch up.

by the way?? so are we heading up to the peak first then stop at one of the eating places or eating first then up the peak??? and does anyone know of a good place to stop and eat or hang out for a min???

I'd say eat after we finish with the peak, last thing we need is for people to get car sick half way up and waste all that good food they just ate.


Hey, you never know. Me and Minion ate at a nice place one day up there but it's pretty small...Not sure how many of us are going but it might be a tight fit. Can't recall the name.
