My buddy's friend's uncle's neighbor knows a guy that works for BMW and he said the only reason they stopped making the M20 was because they make all their money on parts and since it was so reliable they weren't selling any parts.

(runs and hides)

My uncle does actually claim this to be the reason they stopped making the Acura Legend though. (despite continuing life as the RL)

I know there are some other photography gear heads on here, check out what I got at a ghetto pawn store in Appleton

I’m not sure if what I did was morally right, pretty sure they forgot a 1 infront of 349. I didn’t question it, just said I’d take it.

Works great, pawn shops submit all serial numbers and photos to the police and hold items for a month before selling them (I think). I feel comfortable having bought it in a retail store, but if it was stolen I’d feel very bad.

I got a 55-200 MM zoom lens for Christmas. Does anyone on here have a zoom lens that they use? I have my kit lens and a 50 MM. I think this zoom would be good for at the track use.

I guess if there is anything else in this price range that would be a better options I can return this one.

I've been wanting to add that lens to my bag. I'm surprised by how often I don't have the range I need. It's great for track usage like you mentioned.

Here was one of the first pics I took, no post processing.

i use my 55-300 at the track and auto-x events with good results. its not a fast lens either, just the standard f3.5-5.6

this was taken at Road America, Turn 7, probably about 400 ft away.

55-300 also has its place in landscape, portraits, etc

If you wanna ball hard you could get a IS 70-200 f2.8L. I had one for a while and it takes incredibly sharp photos at f/2.8 (more depth of field wide open and low light performance) and the image stabilization is a huge help when zoomed to 200mm

Im excited to announce my most recent project. As you may know I parted out a 95 m3 this past summer.

I enjoyed it so much I made a website to sell parts off of. I plan on getting a few new parts cars in to sell off of. 

In the meantime check out my site!
