Silver Gray Coupe Thread

AlanL · 05-17-2007, 12:05 AM

I posted a bunch of shots of my car last month on a break in roadtrip down the Oregon/Northern CA coast over on Z4um and the web site went dark on us the day after I got back and did the final edits on the best trip shots. On the one hand I hate reposting something I already put up online, but then again why not

The south side of the Umpqua River Bar early in the trip while the car was still clean:

A little farther south in a campground north of the Rogue River:

The next day just north of North Bend/Coos Bay:

and finally, near the southern end of my time on CA Hwy 1 overlooking Portuguese Beach:

Need more, mate!

You should photoshop that temp licence paper outta your rear window.

Now for the less serious shots featuring roadside kitsch. I got the idea after going past yet another roadside tourist trap with a 40 foot tall fiberglass T-Rex and started scheming to pose my car in front of the more amazing examples I saw along the road. Sadly there were too many cars parked near the T-Rex that inspired these shots, but here are the results of what else I found:

This one below is my personal favorite

Last but certainly not least:

Oh...my first love IS silver. What a gorgeous, gorgeous car. I loved the picture of you in the tree. I love stuff like that. Looks like you had fun. Thanks for sharing, I sure do enjoy other folks' photos of outings

fire-n-ice · 05-17-2007, 12:32 AM

oop...just wanted to add that I realize it is silver GRAY

. Which reflects much better then my silver does...but I just love that general color area

Johnny Lin · 05-17-2007, 01:05 AM

Nice! I alwz like the coupe better.

enfield · 05-17-2007, 06:12 PM

Absolutely! - if I had seen another silver gray thread I would have infested that one instead of starting one

Next question?

Since I have permission from the "thread starter" - I too shall post here!! These are 2 months old. The countryside looks nicer now so I will take new ones and post later.

AlanL · 05-17-2007, 09:47 PM

Very nice. I do have to agree this looks a little "Wintery" given our current season but what the heck - this forum needs more pictures and these are just more reasons to go out and shoot some more

Dammmittt · 05-17-2007, 11:29 PM

The more air it takes in the more the car fa*ts

hence 4 holes in the back!

I said "hole"

Karacticus · 06-03-2007, 03:18 PM

Wanted to see if it fits!

I don't think I;'ll work up the courage to do it in motion though!

AlanL · 06-03-2007, 04:14 PM

Wow - I would be afraid of something dripping on my car under that beaste.

Karacticus · 06-03-2007, 04:30 PM

Actually, when you load something up with industrial strength Roundup, you tend to make sure it doesn't leak!

takedown8 · 06-03-2007, 10:09 PM

I wouldn't put my Zed near anything that may have recently driven over manure.
