Is it just me....or do u guys find urself running out of gears fast?
I mean, to me, the trans seems like it's so short. I find myself running out of 1st gear really fast and same to second gear. I dunno if it's coz of the added power, but I find myself out of first and second way too fast. I know those gears r supposed to be short....but in my case, I find it too short.
Anyone else has this observation?

Is there a place here in Vegas that I can take an identical picture without being harassed by rent a cops and security watching me take a picture of the car
Last night I was driving around and I found this location similar to my example and next thing you know, Mr old man rent-a-cop security said "This is private property. If you are going to take pictures I have to watch you very closely." He is so close watching me like a criminal and disagree to move since he is in the Field of View of the shot. I got so uncomfortable and left instead.
Here's my example pic

Jin,
Always say it's for personal use. Abide by what they ask and show them the shots. Then when u show the pictures to him with him on the FOV, kindly ask if he can stand behind u and not the car. Most security will comply, just don't make him tick.
I've shot in private properties before, I.e. Casino parking lots. Most of the time, they just leave me alone, or they r far away from me not to be in my FOV.

Exactly. On a stoplight, my Z can go past the intersection in first gear....but on my X, I have to change up to 2nd before I pass the intersection. I'm not trying to race anyone or anything, but it's kinda like a subconscious thing that I switch gears. Maybe, in my case, it's coz I listen to the engine and not really look at the tach.

Lake las Vegas....I would love to shoot there. I mean in the casino Monte lago where the shops r. I'm actually gonna talk to management if they can let me shoot in the shopping area. Drive my car in there and just shoot away. Of course I'm gonna do it when it's dead. Like 3 am. But we'll see what they say!

[QUOTE=twabtoxer;9642398]Ok, I'll make an official proposal letter to the management/security department and see what they can do. I'll keep everyone posted.
But as of right now, Im talking to another casino to let me shoot in their parking garage with full studio lights. I'm shooting for a 3am shoot for this. And I'm also talking to some models for this as well. If u guys don't mind paying me, I'll shoot ur car calendar style.
I do give my models And make-up artists a cut of what I make so if u want professional shoots of ur cars...possibly with models if u want, just let me know.
