    Movie Trailer - my own shoot

    We all have to start somewhere! This is really just to test out the software options. I have a feature film I want to put together over the next few years. I have some ideas that I just need to get worked out of my head. :) J

    Movie Trailer - my own shoot

    I'll tell you my secrets if you tell me yours! Lol Actually its very easy to do, much easier than it looks. Apple rocks. But the main movie will be 100% FCP - which is some seriously powerful software! The trailer is just imovie believe it or not.

    home owners associations

    I live in a condo, before this I was in a Single Family Home in Arizona under an HOA. It is amazing how much power these organizations have. Once they got you in their sites.. its over. HOA's are the most socialistic, anti american organizations I have ever had the displeasure of dealing...

    Testing out a suction cup mount for my video camera on the X

    Cool blue color - I think they are 6000Kelvin temperature If you notice, I have them pointed down not parallel to the road surface. I had them pointed up a bit and could see for hundreds of yards, but it was not fair to other drivers, so I had them dialed down a bit to point down. Yes...

    Everyone Here Needs To Wake Up and Smell The Roses

    the S2000 wasn't bad either. The GSR was kinda fun too. But definitely a different league. Just sad! Oh well, Guess we will just have to enjoy these cars we already have and buy an R8, GTR, 911 turbo, etc if we want something newer since these guys aren't going to build the car we want. Let...

    Everyone Here Needs To Wake Up and Smell The Roses

    I have to agree about the minivan comment. They put a lot into that new odyssey! In fact we really want one once we sell the truck. They gave us an Odyssey for an extended full day test drive and we fell in love with it. My wife's jaw hit the floor when I said I wanted it. Before we got...

    Everyone Here Needs To Wake Up and Smell The Roses

    I have to agree that the 911 is an excellent choice. Ok, you could argue that its a Beetle with the engine in the wrong spot like Clarkson always says on Top Gear, but its a lot of fun to drive! And I like the fact that they kept the main body design the same over the years... mostly... I...

    Everyone Here Needs To Wake Up and Smell The Roses

    Timbo, Is it possible the civic si I drove had a compression problem? sure... but whatever the reason when I put the spurs to her all I heard was a lot of noise and it went nowhere. To be completely honest I was a little amazed.. based on what so many people have said what a great car it was I...

    Sinking feeling about Transmission

    Good point! They used the honda white stuff.... nsx mechanic said the same thing, use the stuff honda validated for the X. He said the most important thing is to change it about once a year if you drive spirited or every other year if you drive normally. (slow) 18 bucks in fluid but they...

    Everyone Here Needs To Wake Up and Smell The Roses

    THANK YOU!!!!!! This thread feels like I am on the HMS Titanic.... way to dark and depressing for me. Im sure they will do something. All my bitching and moaning is in an effort to get someones attention at Honda. They do read these forums obviously.... its free market research for them...

    Sinking feeling about Transmission

    Ever since I got the car last year I have been a little unhappy with the way the car shifted. Transmission was notchy and very.... well, lets just say it wasnt smooth. Got some advice to change the trans fluid, figured that was just a band aid solution.... its been a few weeks now and from the...

    Honda CEO Talks Up NSX

    Tim, Im not attacking your point of view at all, just stating mine. I think to some its important to keep the car stock for a myriad of different reasons. Purist, resale, whatever... and I respect that. In fact, when I was buying my car I only wanted a low mile NA2 that has no mods myself...

    Honda CEO Talks Up NSX

    I have to disagree about the Turbo or Supercharger comment: While I agree that the NSX is not there to compete with an enzo, there is a valid point to the turbo/SC argument..... COST Yes, stock the GT3 or GTS or 911TT will do laps around the NSX, but at what cost? You can get a great X for...

    Hints of the HSC in a good way....?

    Hey, Im not arguing with you here - Im just saying it isnt cheap! Im the one who mentioned how much it costs to maintain in the first place! LOL I would love to do the MX myself, but I live in a condo, and HOA rules specify that working on a car is a no-no. The fines would quickly add up to...

    Turbo / SC Nightmares anyone?

    I have thought of a SC as well, but it seems its almost the same amount of money but no where near the amount of power output. Question is, if you had to do it all again (and money is an object) would you go with a SC and its relative ease or would you stick with turbo and go nuts? I have...

    Hints of the HSC in a good way....?

    I agree that there are alternatives to the full MSRP cost of MX on the brakes, but, it is 7k to service them according to Nissan! I mean, its not like anyone made that up. 18,000 mile mx is 2000 dollars at the dealership, and if you want to keep your warranty, trust me, you gotta do it! So...

    Turbo / SC Nightmares anyone?

    I am not posting this under Forced Induction because, well, I want to hear from people who gave up on it. Did anyone get forced induction and hate it? Anyone blow up their engine? Anyone not pass emissions? Would love to hear some BAD, on the FI posts its all positive! I am not interested in...

    NSX just got rarer

    My eyes rolled too. Listen, its not like Jetpilot watched the tsunami and immediately posted "screw the people, save the parts", why is there someone always out there that thinks its terrible to discuss things. It doesn't make the poster callus, Gees! It impacted us too, not to the extent of...

    Wow...Are NSX prices falling?!?!

    I agree with Tim on this one, if it sounds to good to be true..... On a side note, I think the prices have actually gone up this year. From what I have seen, cars comparable to mine are about 3-4k more in asking price now. Maybe the NA1's are starting to lose a little bit, but doesn't seem...

    How many bought their NSX in a color they didn't want?

    Sounds like insider trading to me! LOL Its not a bad idea.. except you spend so much time getting the car just the way you want it and have heard people say they buy others and it just isnt as great as the first one.

    Honda CEO Talks Up NSX

    I don't get it either. I've heard of the "gentleman's agreement" by Japanese auto makers to not go upwards of 300HP, but look at the GTR. Ok, some will say the GTR came out in 09 with all that power, but the skyline R34 and its predecessors surely didn't stick to the 300HP limit. The X looks...

    Hints of the HSC in a good way....?

    I hope my disagreeing with you will not offend you: 1. The V8 R8 - SUCKS - I drove both, anyone who knows anything about cars will not want one. The V10 ROCKS! Period. 2. LFA costs 425k (US) - and they are losing money on them. But that is not really fair to say it SHOULD cost that much...
