I see youre into rc vehicles...gas or electric?

[yomommas]

gas, the only was to go in my opinion.

I bought a gas powered stadium truck a few years back. It was one of those kits that came with all the parts, I just had to assemble it. Couldnt run the dang thing more than twice without shearing a half shaft or shredding the gear box. I had no idea what I was doing really, but even with the help of my local hobby shop guy we couldnt solve the problem. Now it sits on a shelf collecting dust. I ended up going with a battery powered truck after that, not near the speed but at least I can pull it out whenever and it doesnt break every time I use it.

BTW - nice tv. I bought an xbox 360 right after they came out. Played it for one night and then put it up on e-bay. I paid $450 for the premium package and one game. It sold for just over a grand.

In that case you need a better scanner!
I haven't used my SLR in ages. I'm thinking of selling all of my equipment on EBay. It's a Canon FTb with lenses. It is older than most of the board members here! I bought it all while I was stationed in the far east.
I have one of the original Polaroids too.

Nice setup! How picky is the lighting with that projector? When buying my TV I considered a projector but the ones on display just seemed "dulled" down. The salesman said it was because of the lighting...well hell, if the lighting is that picky, I don't want one!

Ended up with a 61" HDTV instead...

My home theatre...the only thing that sucks as much money out of me as my car does

I've got a 1964 Minolta SR-7 with Rokkor lenses.

it's pretty picky about lighting. those pics were taken with the light on. just gotta keep your room dark (easier said than done). but if you can keep a room dark a projector is the only way to go. that said i generally watch the projector in the evening. my daytime tv is a 57" toshiba hdtv.
ahhhh.....so many toys
