I posted a few new shots of the Max on my site after a wash today. I got finally got some better shots of the Umnitza DDEs (now Predator Thinline) which are still glowing strong after nearly 4 full years! I know some have had problems with them but I couldn't be happier.

Anyway, I picked up a new SLR digicam this week and couldn't resist posting a few pics. http://www.innerbean.com/housecor/2007_12_18.html

 

isnt there a picture thread for this

 

Nice pics! Your max and site are both very well kept. Cheers!

 

Looks really good. I hear ya on the weather, rain, mist and fog all last week, colder than normal too...30s and 40s. I had to drive a dirty car for two weeks. Ugh.

 

I love that color ... Looking good we got rain now as well Maxine has been dirty for about a month ..

 

I thought so too - but I don't see the sticky anymore.

To everyone else - thanks for the comments!

 

great pics housecor....good to see you're still around!

 

nice like always.....!!!

 

Very nice pics, and congrats on the camera.... I just picked up a D70 about a week ago, too bad my paint sucks .

 

Its always nice to get em cleaned up after the winter weather. My car was horribly dirty just drove it through the car wash.

 

housecor, here's a link to the picture thread:

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....303676&page=60

would you like me to combine this one into there, or would you prefer it if I moved this to "members rides" section. Let me know. I'll leave it here 24hrs.

 

I already have driven my dirty car for 2 weeks, and I can't bear the looking...I'll wash it tomorrom, ish..

 

Since I have an unexpected day off (rain forecast for Saturday so my customer rescheduled for Sunday), even though my car is clean, I might do some wetsanding to remove a few areas of really bad orange peel, then buff my car out to as swirl free as I can get it.

 

Looks great! very clean, we have been having crappy weather for a few weeks now and my maxima was lookin pretty horrible i finally got to wash it last night, i tell ya what after your cars been that dirty and you can finally clean it, it feels like a whole new car when its clean again lol

 

Hey where are the before shots? . Every time I gas up I keep thinking I really should take the car through the car wash. Then I think, by the time I get home it would be dirty again so what's the point?

 

Looks great man. Good to see you're still around.

Noobs, this is the man who's write-ups you should be bookmarking and following.

 

Taking your car to the carwash FTMFL

And the point is to get all the salt and contaniments off your car so it doesn't damage the paint

 

Thanks Irish - Feel free to drag this wherever you see fit.

And thanks again for the comments guys! You're right about it getting dirty again. Two days later and there's salt everywhere. In fact, I had a great looking salty streak running from my gas door the morning after the wash. So there's your detailing tip of the day - open your gas door during the wash!

 

maan, i cannot go a week or 2 without washing my car. its important to take care of the outside as well as the inside (motor and maint.) anyway nice shots housecor

 

i can't even picture your car dirty.. lol

 

ok, moving to members rides, since other generations deserve to see it too

 

Looks great man! Really clean, what kind of DSLR did you get?

 

Haven't seen you post in a while. My DDE's are also still running strong after 3+ years.

How do you like the D40? I will get an SLR eventually...probably a Canon. My point n shoot is a Nikon though.
It says in his link...

 

Good to hear you're happy w/ the DDE's. I like to post my positive experience from time to time to help remind people they're very reliable (from my experience) if installed properly.

I'm really impressed w/ the D40 so far. The kit lens is very sharp and pics are pretty low noise, even at ISO1600. But I already have the itch to upgrade for more features like bracketed exposures.

 

Oh man looks so clean!

 

Car looks great and your how-to page was a great help when I had my Maxima.

 

Wow, our cars seem to have been separated at birth!

 

Very Very Clean.!!!
