How about this beast......Hmmm? Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

Ahh Top Gear...Eh, not much for the Bugatti actually, way too much asking for a speeding ticket

And i just went on a rant about this photographer who made a camera that uses HIV+ blood as a filter...The guy is the largest example of "hipster photographer" i've ever seen given every camera he uses is a pinhole..

Thus all his photos come out the same, Blurry, out of focus, sepia toned, and pretentious, and his photos of people look deformed...

I get it if he's trying to look creepy, But making people suffering with HIV look like inhuman monsters kinda gets on my nerves a little

They Veyron has several flaws making it more of a trophy than a car. I don't remember the exact details but they were something to the effect

1. At top speed it runs out of gas in like 5 minutes
2. Each tire costs something like $30k and needs to be changed every couple thousand miles or so

Still, a neat feat of engineering.

At top speed the tires also may or may not hold up, if i remember correctly James May asked how long the tires would last when he tested the first one and they said "We dont know"

Actually, at suststained top speed it will run out of fuel in about 12 minutes (for original), and the tires will last about 15 minutes at same. The Super Sport is the one they didn't know. As for the cost of tires, they are about $31500.00 (CAN) per set of four.

Details details, I wans't sure of the exact numbers, but you get the idea, it is completely impractical.

Also theres not many places that are straight and flat enough to actually run it near top speed...

You really dont wanna hit a little bump or dip going 200+

True.......But really, if you're buying this car, you aren't buying it because it's a practical car. And besides, the only ones that can afford the $2,500,000.00 price tag are rich anyways.......hehe.

It really really irritates me when I am trying to adjust the layout of a document in indesign or illustrator... and stuff just isn't where it should be.

I really hate it when bleed to edge stuff is all lopsided and not center... yes it's being cut off, but it's throwing all of my measurements off!

Of course

Dangit! I haven't even gotten around to ordering my new gear yet and I already want another lens......The Sigma 150 macro. Curse this hobby! LOL

You may want to wait for the new Sigma 150, it has OS and weather sealing. If you want those features, great, if you don't, it might drop the price of the old 150 macro a bit

Doesn't much matter which one. I probably won't quite have enough left over after the new gear is payed for......but ya never no......hehe.

What new gear you planning to get?

Canon 7D
Canon 24-105
Sigma 10-20
Sigma 30
Sigma 150-500

+ some accessories.

I'll be going to the bank this week to get the ball rolling (hopefully). I won't be able to get everything in one go, as my old gear hasn't sold yet. But I can at least get the 7D and two of the lenses I figure to start.
