I have to design a wrap for a Courtesy car of a local Lexus dealership. Freaking out about it.
Kinda afraid, been out of doing stuff like this for YYYEEEEAAARSSSSS
a prelim design is due tomorrow :/
and just finished up a simple one; making a VW eurovan look like the old Porsche Martini racing buses.

What?!
No way! I still want the rallypack lol!!!!!!!!!
I'll take the LX8 too
lol really?!
I took one tree down and it dropped a sapling, took that one and got another tree and it just multiplied from there on, dug some where there is a hole on the first island to get some coal and stuff; and by the time I had like 5 trees I made a house, dug up some sand and made glass, then finally made a boat.
to survive at first with food I took a hoe to some long grass and planted some wheat and made bread
Yea, that's my favorite shot of all of the 2,000 I got between 3 cameras; that was taken with my camera and an 85 1.4... amazing lens.
A bunch of other shots such as the dresses etc. were taken with a D700.. I want a full frame SO bad now; it was unfair to see what kind of shots it got in like no light compared to my 300s, and the amount of noise it produced (.. nill) is amazing. Besides the depth is just gorgeous.

Latest album is from a wedding I did this past weekend; very limiting in shots that could be taken during reception (up high on a balcony and that was IT, which kinda sucked but whatever)
Dress etc. shots came out awesome; and the cars they got to take.. ohmg, that's what made the wedding in the smallest middle of nowhere town ever.

Well out of the few options I had.. it came down to either a civic or a mazda 3. And honestly.. I like the looks over a civic any day, and the handling when stock was WAY better than any civic I had ever sat in.
Besides, it was a to and fro for college car.. and if you believe me; I could fit everything in my dorm rooms in that car and go home with no problem. I could actually probably fit a lot more now with all the missing seats etc.
lol my buddy traded me that damn tow hook for some helper springs so I'm glad I had it! Fair trade... nooooooooooooottttt hahahaha; hook was like $40 and I got springs that are like $200 (which .. why the hell do helper springs cost so much anyway?!)
No, going down heavily congested street roads I drive the limit; highway (depending on distance and whatnot) I usually go under the limit just to save on gas.. I usually care less about when I get somewhere if it's a long trip as opposed to how much money I have to spend at the other end.
To me there is a difference between driving hard, fast, and.. just being an ****.
By hard I mean there are turns I take that no one would ever consider on a normal drive.. and.. probably would be dangerous in a mini van or truck or whatever lol. By hard I mean I push the suspension and the engine; not hard as in I go 100 mph EVVVVERYWHERE BLAHHHHHRRRGGGGG I WINNNNN.. no, while I do take turns hard and push the engine every now and again depending on road conditions, I'm not an **** and try not to do to many illegal things; although I'm pretty sure the turn I took heading up to work yesterday was probably illegal; drop into 2nd, floored it, got up to probably 60+ in a 45 zone and took a hard turn across a 2 lane intersection.. no rubbing, that was nice. Still need to stiffen my rear sway bar though.
My limits right now are my stocker's tires. High mileage, pretty sporty looking things though; Riken Raptors. They're junk LOL! But I know what they can handle for the most part, so I stay within my limits.
I'm just not one of those plonks in their brand new BMW they spent $50k on and go blazing up the highways at 90mph swerving in and out being an ****.
I may drive hard at some points; but on streets with traffic I'm usually as polite as possible, but do have fun every once in a while.
@homeless.. no, I could afford them, but I'm happier I spent $100 less than I would have if I went with Falkens over the Proxies. But if I did get the "right" size.. whatever the right size is; I can promise you my rear fenders and front fenders would not be alive anymore.
My rears really don't have that much stretch.
You want to see ugly stretch? Check these out; this guy just bought some rotiforms and got the ugliest stretch ever. I'm all for a little bit of stretch like mine, but.. stretching tires to.. stretch them? .. ew.
The tires don't even FIT!
This is way beyond what stretching should ever be. If you're going to stretch, at least let the sidewall come near the lip. There's like a freaking inch gap between sidewall and wheel lip! WTF!
That is ugly.
lol you wanna talk about buying the right size? I'm only off by a few mm... this guy is off by like a foot.

Alright lets see if I can organize this some lol
Tires are 215/45/17 all around.. what's wrong with stretch?
The mazda 3 is a unibody; there is no frame. We have a front and rear subframe, only for suspension. The floor boards on a 3 are about a quarter inch thick maximum. Welding in a rollbar with a box would be actually worse than having a 6 square inch plate; it puts the load over an area; if I boxed the ends like some people thought was the right way to do, I would have to recut the bar, make a box, put the box right back where it would be.. on less than quarter inch thick aluminum.. which .. would do more damage.
As for rear seats; my rear seat has been out of the car for about half a year now and has no intention of ever going back in place.
What would be the purpose of having a rear seat in a car as low as mine, and with fitment / rubbing issues. With my old tires and friend in my car alone it was bad.. having 3 more people on top of that? No way; it would destroy my struts having that much weight in the back.
If no one has noticed it isn't exactly a family wagon for my purpose; I enjoy driving it hard, and typically don't have to take along an entire family either, hence the single seat.
That doesn't make me a hypocrite at all; what you're doing is illegal and dumb. Which isn't at all what I'm doing, or ever plan to do.
I think this answered everyone's questions

WOA .. lol missed out on this adventure.
All I have is the Autopower bolt in cage I bought from a friend up in PA who is going to hillcimb his car and is replacing the half cage with a full cage.
Stiffness? **** yeah I notice it, my car is stiff as crap in the rear; I wish I had a full cage now because I can still feel the front end tucking around corners.
Posing is when you get NOS stickers and turbo decals and then you look in the car and they have this:
and this:
I do DRIVE my car, that's why I'm not going any lower and don't want as much camber as I have. I haven't been up to the mountains in several months, but hell.. it's going to be amazing when I do, especially after everything I've done since then.
Common, you can't think I have a car like that and drive it like a granny every day.. seriously?
This is the roll bar I have:
I really wanted the race one which has a cross bar in it, but that one was being sold so I bought it for cheap.
If you hit your head on that you're doing something wrong; it's about a foot behind my head and up 8"
When I get my racing seat here in a few weeks.. it will be even more impossible to hit my head if I had a full cage; even now it's impossible unless the front bar is directly in my line of sight; there is no joke, 8" from the top of my head to the ceiling on my car, a 3 is a really tall car.. and it pisses me off how tall they are to fit all the stupid Americans.

Damn, no I don't call .. racing, shenanigans, and hooning "cruising"
Must be an upside down thing.
Up here we call that dumb and street racing.. at least that's what I call it lol.
Also we don't have yellow or red stickers, that's new to me I've never heard of that before. But yeah... driving an unregistered car.. that's just a bad idea.
In other news I got that wheel fixed, it's all nice and round again and seems to be holding pressure which is good.
I need to put wheels back on, but I'm wondering if a 25mm spacer will help bring the fronts out to match the rears. Or if that would be to much. But I never did the math or any measurements so .. I won't know until they go back on.

Notch tweeted back about the "Snow Golem" (what he's calling it)
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
That bitch tosses snowballs at the enemies.. he said he sat and watched it throw snowballs (0 damage) at spiders and creepers and watched that thing go suicidal and just let the creepers come and kamikaze it! hahahah
Good lord..
lol how can a 'cruise' attract cops enough to make one guy get skiddish and run, and a few others get taped up??

and the Enderman will no longer steal blocks, thank god.. I had some destroy the hell out of my house! Annoying idiots...
Check this buddy out :P
Notch just tweeted about it this morning; he's a friendly mob, you build him
He throws snowballs at enemies, pushes snow around, and melts in hot biomes
LOL!
I can't wait hahah

Still having fun on my map finally, haven't traveled yet but found some awesome caves beneath my islands, came across a bundle of diamond.
Killed off all of the cows on the big island to the east though
Kept the pigs alive but all the cows are gone.. nooooooooo

Just a little update on my latest seed find
I have a house, middle island is loaded with trees I have been planting and cutting down; I have a self preservation farm next to my house (like the village farms) just so I do have backup food.
Made it to the big island to the east to get some meat and some wool for a bed; got there at night and got killed by a stupid bones arrows. I need one more string to make a bow, but I tell you what, it is quite fun.
The island off to the west is LOADED I mean LOADED with coal and iron, which is all accessible from the surface, as there is a water fail which leads into a little cutout area (which be careful I had a bones in there tried to kill me) so I loaded up on coal and iron and got some armor and stuff, but yeah, this is an awesome little island map.

I SPY UFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See I hate maps like that; I like the realistic ones, not crazy giant poking mountains with holes underneath, and random straight drop off cliffs in the middle of a plain.
See I hate maps like that; I like the realistic ones, not crazy giant poking mountains with holes underneath, and random straight drop off cliffs in the middle of a plain.
So I looked around for any good seeds online, came up with nothing really.
I tried ILikePie and that was pretty cool what it did; split a mountain in two and had a village on it which got cut in half, wasn't to happy with that though.
So I tried.. my birthday.
Seed: 7/5/88
this map is awesome, and this one I am sticking to.
Loaded it.. **** an island.
You start on a section of 3 close islands with 1 single tree. Hopefully it will drop saplings so you can plant more trees (which is how I started off)
I did same seed and went into creative and rendered out the area.
It's got bigger islands you will have to travel to which are quite a distance off. It's got an awesome rolling hill island to the east, a swamp island to the left (which has trees IN the water), and a few forest and desert larger land masses around.
Somewhere, I think to the north is an area with some HUUUUGE mountains; semi realistic ones too, almost like the cliffs of Dover, it's really awesome!
Either way, I highly recommend this seed (7/5/88) for anyone looking for an "Outcast" style gameplay.
This should be fun.
Attached is a picture of the map; starting point is dead center on those 3 tiny islands!
When you first spawn, depending on graphics settings you won't see any island, but with normal you can barely make out the island to the west, and with far it will just be a patch of dirt on the horizon.
Pretty cool, should be fun!
(Hopefully I won't need food to fast LOL; and hopefully not to many mobs will spawn on my island lol! No pigs or cows or chickens / ducks have spawned on those islands which isn't a good sign, maybe I can lay some more dirt down and get some friendly mobs to spawn and survive the island for a bit

No I test fit them.
But I never test loaded them.
Purchased a fender roller today, hopefully it will ship soon. Yes I know that is more camber than I want to run, but really it's only like half of what I've seen a lot of "stance" people run.
Found a BIGGER bend in that front driver's side wheel, dropped it off it should be ready tomorrow and all fixed up, so that's the good news, somehow I never saw that bend, but.. it was obvious the bead wasn't perfectly round at that point so that's where it was leaking.
So that will be fixed, running stockers until the show in October, and really until the tread dies off on them.
Sorry I don't have $4000 to buy and sell wheels Klutch; I am really happy with the way those wheels look and have put enough time in them to love them, I don't think it looks silly.
I'm going to space out the front a bit, but all will be better when the fenders get a nice roll and a little flare to prevent any [more] rubbing.
I mean these are just show wheels, I won't be running them daily. But even if they are cambered out that much, even on flat ground they still have way more contact patch and stick than my stock wheels ever will.

Finally updated to 1.8.1 since Optimine will be up soon.
Was watching a live feed and some guys were talking about Game Booster.. it's actually quite nice.
It's a free little program that will shut off any background programs running, services, etc.
And then when you turn it off, it will reload all of those services (that's the nice part)
download: http://download.cnet.com/Game- ... 000-18512_4-10913645.html
Anyways.. so updated to 1.8 .. **** ME.
First map I spawned on was a damn island; I wish I realized the value of it before I deleted it, but I turned around, and this island was literally the size of my bedroom; it had two trees, and you couldn't walk for more than 3 seconds in any direction until you hit ocean.
Second map was lost in a forest
third .. swamp
fourth swamp
fifth forest
sixth .. swamp forest with a river
seventh.. ****ing forest.
I am sick of spawning in shitty maps, it's really irritating, I spawn and have let chunks load way out to see anything and there's nothing.
I tried creative mode, spawned.. ****ing forest, flew for a solid 2 minutes and it was ALL forest.
really irritating.
I did come across an interesting spawn, it was a forest, walked into a swamp (go ****ing figure) and there was some lava at sea level; and it was setting the entire forest on fire, that's pretty cool, haven't seen that before.
So ... gonna go for it again until I get a normal map where I don't have to run for 2 days with no defense or anything because I'm on flat ground with just trees and no other supplies

lol, actually TE37s I think look weird on a 3, I'm not a fan of them on this car. Mostly because we are EXTREMELY limited in wheel sizes; we can't go very low offset at all, so we get no concave in the TEs.
I think my rears are actually sitting offset wise in the +20s range. But the fronts should be somewhere in +30s. Previous owner doesn't know and I never did the math on them.
Yeah most people hate the mudflaps; but it keeps me from having to clean the underside of the car with polish compound and buffing out all of the tar and crap on the roads, I just love them to much to remove them. Especially around winter time I don't get the time to clean my car nearly as much, so my underside would be disgusting without them.
No idea on track; never tracked it before, my stock tires are Riken Raptors on stocker 17x6" wheels so.. they don't have much grip, but before I had sway bars and the roll bar I just got in, it was hella fun to drive up in the mountains; I haven't taken it back up there yet, but will get to soon, and it should handle like a dream.
I may get some small spacers for the front; I'm really not a fan of the spacers, but yeah the backs stick out quite a bit, and I really don't want to camber them out anymore than they are.
Even that is just way more camber than I want to run.
I won't be running the car any lower; with these wheels I'm actually an additional half inch or so lower than I am with stock wheels, I can't fit our jack up underneath the back end, I don't feel safe being that low.
But I still have to roll my fenders and flare them so.. yeah, buying that tomorrow; big meet I'm going to is at end of October so I have plenty of time to get everything sorted out.

Here are all of the pictures from today.
Me mudflaps stay sorry I love their function WAY to much.
Yeah actually those wheels are already off; the bead or valve on front driver's side had a leak so it just kept leaking air some. It was flat a few hours after I came home last night after buying them I was like... Ugh..... But not a worry, brand new tires, it can happen.
Yeah actually I had a guy take an air chisel to my wheel locks yesterday since I didn't have the key just to see them on. But my car isn't ready for them yet; buying a fender roller tomorrow, because yeah, rubbing in back.. Not fun. Dampers are at full stiff and that helped; but the ride home with buddy and all 4 old wheels.. Slow and painstaking, lol everyone was blowing horn at me but I didn't give a damn. But yeah, after removing that additional ~350lbs I wasn't worried about rubbing afterwards
