spent half the day cleaning up the 93 real good, finished the rear brakes last night, painted the rear calipers like the front, gave the inside and outside a nice bath, leather is all clean now, i tell you what, this baby still looks god dam good for a 17 year old car. the front fenders have obviously been painted, in person it doesnt show like it does in pics, what reason that is i have no idea but here you go, i am trying to teach myself to spot out cool places to take car pics, i am not a photographer but i think i can take decent pics!


ADDED A FEW PICS

i like makes me want a nicer winter mark

You need to find a bunch of gators and park it there. It would be some cool azz pictures with some gators around your car, but it would suck getting them away....i guess some raw chicken would do the trick. Nice ride Jamie nice ride indeed.

The key to a great Mark photo shot is an excellent backdrop. Jamie you have some nice ones there.

that car looks SOOOO good with chrome 10s and no front plate. It really makes me miss my old 95.

Beautiful car. That grille looks good, I may have to start looking for a chrome one.

awesome pics :cool:



and u got trees and stuff........all i got are fields :(

nice, if you wouldnt had told us about the fenders no one would of noticed....but now its even making me anal.....nice pics nonetheless.

Sweet! GMAN, you got home quick! :lol:

Jamie, paint that car black. You have the interior, you have the rims, you have the know how. Paint it black with some purple or blue pearl in it. That car sounds mean as hell too when you're riding behind it.

no way i am not painting crap lol, i love the color of it actually. it does sound good doesnt it lol, jake loves it, he wants to buy it, i told him if he does, i'll buy shari a black gen 2 also, then we will really need to get our heads checked, 3 black gen 2's in the driveway oh boy lol!!!!

on behalf of all mark viii owners/fans everywhere thank you for putting those rims on correctly haha sweet looking ride

oh come on now, i would never get the wheels mixed up, ever.

Ya, I think the color looks good as it is. Did you see any gators while you were there? I like looking at gators, just not too closely! :)

Looks pretty damn nice, actually!


2 tips that can really help with pics-

-angle the front wheels to show off the rim
-You drive a car. Cars dont grow things out the top- like trees and poles

that said, I love the 5th shot down

Not that I don't like the color, it is a unique looking color, especially in person. Maybe a little paint mixing to get those fenders to match lol.

there was a couple who were about 1000 feet from me on the other side of the parking lot, i didnt see it, but i heard his wife yelling at him to be careful, he was in the woods near the water with a camera so i assume they had spotted one, there are warning signs all over that park tons of gators in that water! at night there are loads of deer all over that place.

Nice pics Jamie!! How ford shoul've advertised the car right there, instead of all jacked up..

Never, never, EVER angle the front wheels. Let the car speak to you. Not the other way around. If you angled those wheels I'd be looking for the reflection of a mullet. In fact anytime I see someone pose their car with the wheels turned I can never get myself to read what they have to say.

Nice pics, would love to test drive that one day, Jamie.
You went all over Pinellas shooting pics eh?
Brooker, Howard or Anderson?

You gotta kick the wheels out, gives the car a little depth in the picture. Just like my sig pic. Just don't be so close that you can see your reflection.

3 black gen 2's in the driveway oh boy lol!!!!

Already there. It's not so bad. :cool: I want another one to fix up.:D

So you show off the tire?

So your saying these are bad pictures?? lol

Now doing something like this looks bad, its all about what angle you are trying to shoot the car from.

the wheels were turned in teh first ones.

The bad ones were turned the wrong way.

and from those direct side angles, they shouldnt be at all.

Show off the wheels, not the sumitomos.


edit: you are saying the same thing I am. So im going to take it you werent referring to me?

No i was refering to the replys that say "never turn the wheels" Ive been into photography for about 12 years now and there certin times with certin cars that just turning the wheels help to add to the photograph.

Nice pics, would love to test drive that one day, Jamie.

Brooker, Howard or Anderson?

Ed, the first shots were taken near North Lake in Tarpon, the park pics were taken at Chestnut park on East lake near the boot ranch.

Ahh yes dating myself...Chestnut formerly Brooker Creek park.

Lots of Gator signs for sure.

Cobra beats Gator. :)

I started reading and then stopped when you said you were going to sell this one too... just can't stop can you?

Looks good Jamie!

i'm not selling it, my buddy wants it, thats all i said, he cant buy it though he dont have the money. i'm not selling it.

how much would you sell it for?

if someone gave me 2,400 cash i would let it go otherwise its staying in the driveway, i have no intention to sell it, but for that i would buy my wife a gen 2. after everything i just put into the damn thing in such a short time i wouldnt take a penny less.

LOL...you would be the same way if you lived in FL.

Every day you would see one you want and sell one to buy it.

Um, I dont think I've ever seen Jaime step into a crummier car, its always been a step up. You would all do it too if you had the means.

Jamie Howard park is a great place for pics on that causeway..

yeah but the causeway is closed right now, they are rebuilding the entire 1 mile stretch from the park to the beach it was supposed to be opened this past fall but its not yet. trust me i know that causeway takes good pics. these were from our meet/cook out we did. i want to do this again very bad.

Wow Jamie - that Nick guy must be tall - he makes the white 98 look small!

That looks like fun!!

martin its because me and dan stood by our doors and nick was next to his headlight lmao!!! but now that you said that, it does look like that!

WHY DID I SELL THAT CAR!?!?!

Ah, it had some small quirks. I have had 13 cars and that is the ONLY car I have ever sold that I said I wish I never did.

yeah well look what i was standing near, my baby. but luckily for me i found a way to take care of how i miss the old girl, bring her sister home friday!!!

A huge part of why I got rid of this car, and I need to remind myself of this frequently.
1.) Wasnt completely payed for. And selling it allowed me to pay it off.
2.) The clearcoat was facked. However after I sold it I found out how good the spray can paint jobs can be.
3.) Never ever liked the way the car shifted, but from the other Gen2s I have driven, it was normal.
4.) The car FELT slow, however it was just as fast as my Gen1, side by side.

I think about how I got 3250.00 for that car and how you just spent 3700 for a car that is sooo much nicer, with mods, you stole that thing jaime.

My current car may not be as "special" but, it is a different experience having a car that I get complements on from strangers.
