WeekEnd drive

[acura nsx pilot]

Went for a drive upstate with some of my friends and took this shot. You opinions are appreciated. For me its a bit overprocessed but I shot this in Large and not raw and did what I could with it. I should have used one of the scene modes ....ohh well here it is.

Looks like you are a little out-classed in that lineup, but it is a sweet car. The tilt thing doesn't do anything for me at all but the pic it self is nice enough.

Yes they are beautiful cars, unfortunately they spend about as much time in the shop as they are on the road. You would think to expect more from a 180,000 car, but like most works of art there best admired and collected. I have had my 91 for over 9 years without any problems except regular maintenace, its hard for any other owner to claim the same with another cars in this class. Im sorry I forget this isnt a car forum .....back on track now. Thanks for all the comments ......keep em coming.

Don't get me wrong, I love the NSX... fantastic car. I just wish Honda would get off it's a** and do something about it. The tech is what, 11 years old now? Everyone else is utilizing new tech to produce new sports cars but Honda brought out the S2K instead. Nice car, but it is no NSX. Heck, even the Brits are making cars that outperform the NSX now.... Come on Honda, get your head out!

Im sorry I forget this isnt a car forum... :D:D If talking about them got a person thrown out, Bruce & I & several others would have been thrown out looooong ago! ;)
Nice cars. Pic seems a bit dark, though.

Nice photo. There's gotta be almost $1,000,000 worth of automobiles in that picture! The exposure looks good too, and I like the way you angled the shot too make it look like the cars are parked on a high-banked turn.

As far as your Acura, that is awesome that you have only done routine maintenance. I guess it must truly be an exotic that you can drive every day. While I agree that the NSX is long overdue for a redesign, it's still a sharp lookiing car. I was at a Lamborghini dealership in Philly a few years back (just browsing, of course), and as I was drooling over the Diablo on the showroom floor, the salesman was telling me that he wouldn't make any money when he sells the car because it is due for a $40,000 transmission repair of which the parts had a 6-month lead time from Italy!! That's a repair on a relatively new vehicle that costs more than the average new car! Yikes.

So, how is it that these very fast sports cars are on a high banked turn and not moving. . . . like my car is in this shot? :lol: :lol: :lol:

It was dark to begin with and I did what I could in photoshop... should of took several at different exposures and layer them.

Funny you should mention Diablo as there was one in the middle of the group but you cant see it well.

In mid 2005 the replacement will be here. Rumors are that it will be 400hp and maybe a hybrid engine. Yes the crys over on the nsxprime board have been loud and unheard for years by honda. Hopefully they will step up to plate and delivery something to meet the call. The new car is suppose to be based on this car that has been shown as a concept car at the last few big auto shows.

I am going to try and shoot raw more often then but would it really make that much of a difference ?

I'd love to see it, but the link isn't working for me.

[PhotosGuy]

It's in the "Recycle Bin" but should still work. But it doesn't! So copy & paste this link in. It worked just a minute ago. ;-)

You probably won't even to need to go into PS except to crop, resize & do some final sharpening. ;-)

That Diablo is SWEET! :D
