    Stretch Mark

    A photographer friend took this photo with an old Widelux camera. It has a lens that rotates 140 degrees when you take the photo. No Photoshop! Pardon the salt stains ;) http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y165/pearl95/widelux.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y165/pearl95/WideluxF8.jpg ...

    Winter tires

    I've got the stock alloy directionals on the 95 now. The shop I got the tires at didn't have any steel winter rims...When I pick up new summer tires in the spring I'll throw the blizzaks on somthing else to preserve my alloys. Know where I can get any used Taurus rims around the GTA? Luke D.
