Annika1980 - 16 Nov 2007 03:02 GMT We are finally getting a little bit of Fall color here after a long, hot, dry Summer. The rains came last night and today was breezy with some strong wind gusts, especially up on the mountains. So that's where I went this AM. It was too windy for any big birds to be flying so I just drove around in my new FJ and enjoyed the Autumn colors. I had the 400 f/5.6L mounted on the gun turret just in case.

[quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >and know it was your year! >Helen Holy sh.t! Why don't you just get a bus ticket and go f.ck him already. This cyber affair of yours over the most mundane of photography is a bit much. Even for usenet. You might want to take along your best vibrating dildo. It appears he enjoys something up his a.s all the time while it's being kissed. He may not be satisfied with it just being your nose anymore.
If you think that anyone would pay for a photo like that for advertising, or even wanting to display it that large, you most certainly have a screw loose. I've seen better photos from a neighbor's kid using an old Polaroid camera in a parking lot while he was playing "photographer".
Wait a minute, let me guess. You're actually blind and this is your only social outlet. It can be the only explanation. It's the only one that would make sense. Okay, nevermind, I can understand that. Do continue.
Hang on a sec though ....

Okay... go to it.

That looks like the ultimate yuppie mobile that only a retard would drive. Even if you put some real glass on the turret it still would look like crap.

The remaining funds would have done nicely to get you out of debt or put towards a decent car you really like. You could have bought a nice Ford F350 with a Power Stroke.

Actually, the visibility from the FJ is terrible. I wish it had a sun roof.

There are several manufacturers of after market sunroofs.....Here is just one site about them: http://www.sunroofs.org/

Then, You can mound a tripod head on the top of the car next to the roof, and be able to use your whole vehicle for a tripod. I thought about mounting a ring around the roof, so the tripod head could be turned through 360 degrees. that way, It wouldn't matter how you parked.....You would still be able to aim your rig in the right direction in only a few seconds time. Most manufacturer's sun roofs would be too small, so not having one might be an advantage. You can get one made to your specifications. You could remove the rear seat, and replace it with a platform to stand on, and get a large sunroof made that is offset to the rear of the vehicle, right over the platform.......IOW, set up your SUV just for photography.

I think the Honda Element has the Blue Turd beat by an inbreder's mile for butt a.s ugly. If it were me that won that piece of sh.t I would have had it sold in the first 24 hours and invested the money. The sad part is the dumb bastard is out here pleading poverty and crying about paying taxes on his winnings. You can take em off welfare, but you can never take the welfare mentality out of them.

Perhaps, but your situation is different from mine. Shoulda, woulda, coulda. I would rather have a new Altima, but that didn't work out. I'm still gonna owe the taxes on the FJ, whether I sell it or not. And selling it isn't gonna get me enough cash (after taxes) to get a new Altima. So the options were keep it and pay the taxes (about $6500) or sell it, pay the taxes and get a cheaper car. Had I been able to clear enough to get a new Altima I would have probably done that. But now I have a new ride, plus I still have my old Altima (for now, anyway). The old Nissan has 187K miles on it, but still runs pretty good. Trade ya for the 500 f/4?

It really does look like a Russian tank with that big cannon, I mean Canon, sticking out. All it needs is a rotating turret on top wielding an EF 600mm.
His IP address is in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area. I suppose there are some mountainous homes in that area that might need a big ugly SUV. Maybe.

Birds are way too far down on the order of life to be frightened by long lenses or SUV's. If it isn't moving, they don't even see it........

They won't have to see it, they can hear that D-SLR shutter clattering from a block away and be on the alert, ready to take flight after they hear more than 1 shot from those POS cameras.
