Well the buyer (Alex, in the blue hat) came to pick up his new car last night. Just before he took her away I snapped some final pictures. I wanted to thank everyone here for everything over the years. All of the information, advice, comments, and criticism. I will definitely still frequent this board and share my prick comments here and there. just cuz i love you guys. Thanks for checking out my final P&M post, and feel free to share a memory that involves me, my car, a post of mine, etc.

Very clean car, no denying that.

What's next?

portrait of perfection.





Check out my build thread!

The Black 2004 SE Sport Solara in the background. I will be using the $6000 I got from this car to integrate a iPad into the dash of my Solara, with one JL 13w7 in a glassed enclosure powered by a slash v2, and some 20" Chrome Giovanna Dalar wheels...and pretty much call it a day. I've moved on from the extreme mods, and just want a simple daily cruiser thats clean, with some nice wheels, a slight drop and some boom da boom. Here are a couple other pics of the Solara when I first picked it up.

was a beautiful car man. glad you got to sell it all together and not part it out.... one more good j owner down....

Now lets get back to talking about the project with the toyo.

I think bigfoot is blurry,
that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra
scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster, roaming the countryside.

I don't believe they do. I have a 3.3l. I haven't even heard of an SC for the 4cyl either.

Thanks very much Nikki.

I'm thinkin of the 3.0 Solaras I remember they made superchargers for those I wonder if you could make it fit on the 3.3. Those engines are somewhat close. I think they just added more plastic to them. Nice cars anyway...

As long as you guys don't call me names

C ya it was a nice car but i have a question about your pics how are you making the car pop and nothing elas? depth of field?

The depth of field is created by increasing the distance to your subject and using the full zoom of the lens (in this case a Rebel XTi with Canon EF 24 -70 L USM lens). The lower the F-stop, the better. (2.8)

I'm hoping you told him about the .org so he can keep us updated on what he does with it.

Clean car and I imagine it's sad to see it go, but I'd say you made quite an upgrade.

Keep us informed in other cars on your progress.

Yeah, I'll be around. BTW I just picked up new shoes for the solara.

No, the wheel photo should load completely. Is anyone else having this issue?
