Hola!! Okay so I've been here a while on another username which I forgot until I made a couple posts on this one (gramlight), I just browsed around and what not. This past month kinda got fed up with my MKV R32 and decided to trade it for the 05 Elise (touring, hardtop, a few aftermarket things) had 6k on the clock, so its begging to be driven.

I usually keep an AWD car and a something with two wheels. I'm going to get another older Golf to DD and carry out surf duties, after the MV Agusta sells.

Prior to this I've owned a lot of different AWD "econo-rally rockets." My favorite was my 2005 Evo RS (KW V3, forged wheels, neova's, cam'd and tuned to 330/315 whp/wtq) which was hit by a semi from the rear, 2.5 years of loved died. Before it was a couple WRX variants, an STi, MKIV R32 and the recent MKV R32. Thought I could live with DSG, but I just made excuses justifying it when all I wanted to do was feel connected.


Blah, Blah here are the pics....oh before you say it I know the drill...search, read, and read some more. If your on any of the other above car forums I'm Ashumo.

Thanks, yeah I enjoy photography...not much into post processing though. VisualEchos stuff is pretty much on point though.

Just finished my first oil change, really like the fact the car doesnt utilize plastic clips like most of the cars I've had. Makes me feel like I'm actually working on a machine.

Got the tint done yesterday by SDTint.com they are recommended off the socaleuro.com forum. Did SolarGuard 28% all around.

I used to have the D50 but when the D90 came out I figured it was a good time to go ahead and upgrade. Plus I already had the lenses I wanted (10.5 Fisheye, 18-200VR) Now I just want a super fast fixed 35mm lens.

Those pics were taken north of Las Vegas, NV @ Valley of Fire State Park. Pretty rad place if you can stand the heat, lol. I was like WTF is up with the A/C in the Elise.
