First Road Trip + First Pics online

[DougSolara]

Ok, so I got the Solara last tuesday and just took it for a road trip yesterday. After the road trip I got my digi camera back from my brother, and finally today I snapped some pics... the pics didn't come out that good. I might need a new camera.

Some interior shots.



Is my muffler supposed to be black?


Wow, now these are blurry. I took a few pics for each position and these were the clearest..






Well, this one looks better.



Any tips on taking less blurry images? My camera is a cheapo off overstock.com

Yesterday I went up to my brother's uni with my mom + grandfather it was a 720 mile trip (back and forth). On the way up I got to blast my music, but on the way back with my mom and gp I had to play the classical stuff. Trip was to drop off my mom's Corolla that she gave my brother, thats her honda you see in a few of the Solara shots.

Car drove great, I just set it to cruise control and relaxed most of the time. Is that good for the tranny? My AC is abnormally cold despite how hot it is outside.

One thing I did notice is my steering wheel appears to be off a little. When I drive straight its tilted a little to the right. If I were to have the toyota symbol perfectly aligned, the car would veer to the right.

nice, any mods you have planned up (intresting you have 15 inches enkies - how do you spell enkie??? ...

Nice pics. Good looking, clean car. The only thing I don't like are the wheels, and not because they're too small, but because they look a LOT like pontiac grand prix wheels.

Not too sure about any mods, I have some cash stored up for car work or tweaking but dont know what to really do.

I'd like to keep it looking clean & stylish without going overboard.

A few things I have been thinking about,
-repaint chrome grill (a tiny bit of peeling)
-touchscreen dvd player in dash or GPS
-remote startup, etc.
-at the end of the year maybe dual exhaust (i hear you have to get it custom though?)

If you guys have any ideas of what would look good I am open to hear them.

I saw my RIMs on a car up at wal-mart the other day.. it might have been a pontiac, sunfire maybe.

Small wheels? You guys can tell they are 15 inches just by looking at them? I have a lot to learn. :

Not bad man.
How many pixels is the camera????
Cause 5 or better would = better quality.
Yeah i can tell those are 15" rims.
Not that hard to tell.And cruise control is ok for you car over a long period; cause you save more gas over a long drive, than compared to holdin' it there for the long drive.
And you will use more gas when you use the A/C, cause the car had to move cold freon to make the air cold for you.
Too bad you don't have a sunroof, cause tilted wit hte air on low wit the A/C on works really nice.

well on the outside i think you should get some 18s or 19s, black with silver lip would be nice i think with some black headlights, black tint and just a greddy evo exhaust and lower it if you want.

then go for the inside with the indash screen and whatever else you want to do

thats just me though.

enjoy your ride and keep us updated

Well, the one thing is to just hold it very steady; lean against something, place on a stationary item or use a tripod if necessary... However, I also think that it is because the exposure/shutter speed is kinda off, because a longer exposure is typically for night shots, but this is in a cloudy daylight situation where it shouldn't need it.
