21st Birthday (SNOW filled drive in the MTNS)!
 

Hey guys,

Today is my 21st birthday and I woke up super early to get the most out of my day. First thing, my boss called me @ 6:45am to harass me for taking the day off and getting my 8 hours for "birthday pay"! I was already up. lol. But decided to gas up and grab a RedBull. I made 3 CD's that were perfect for a full day of driving.

1. HI-NRG and Italo-Disco Mix
2. Dubstep All-stars Vol. Mixes
3. Underground Trance and Techno

First off... I made my way up the usual run... It was so nice out! Weather was perfect and I was the only one on the mountain.

Then it was off towards the picture-esque lake that I always visit when I'm in this area.

Calendar Worthy! It looks like it was taken when the car was new!

agreed

what camera do you use?

Thats because it only has around 50k miles on it.

I'm using a Nikon D80. MB-D80 battery L-Grip and that was shot w/ my Nikon 18-200mm VR lens. Thanks for all of the compliments guys! I'm about to upload the High-Res shots to my flickr so whoever wants them for backgrounds can use them.

Ah. That is the camera that my wife wants more than anything.

It's for sale if your interested.

pm me the damage.

Sweet, i've got 1 week to go til my 21st :D

no, it was bought with about 50k back in Feb...its has a few more now =P

lets quote this one more time

Please tell me they don't salt the roads down there like they do in up here...

Good pics as usual, and HBD. \(^o^)/

Happy Birthday my friend!!! those are some great shots. I just bought the D90, and if you have the money it is way worth it.

whens the hi-res one going to be up

No they do not salt the roads there. They use Sand w/ some chemical mixture that isn't harmful to the undercarriage. Regardless... I spent about an hour spraying the car off today and getting every nook and cranny. I'm going to wash it tomorrow. I would've today but ran out of daylight. Shit turns to ICE very quickly. haha.

Awesome pics... Some spot you live in... Makes Ireland look like a dive!!! :D

Happy Belated Birthday.... :icon_tup:

I actually live about an hour and a half away from where those pictures were taken. I would love to live there. But if you weren't born in, or have a ton of money its just not happening. It is so nice and just chill up there all year. Lots of pretty ladies! But its one of my favorite spots to go drive b/c of all the places to hike including waterfalls and lots of mountain tops! Favorite picture spots you know.

Thanks for the compliments!
