Wow! Love the gearshift. Great images, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing that, it's been a long time since I heard that album. I was big into fusion back then, my all time favorite, though was Spectrum by Billy Cobham... (https://youtu.be/1H4gfJaYqZY), came out a few years before Straight Ahead.

Remember the ads "More doctors smoke Camels... " or Lucky Strike, or Chesterfield.?.?.. Different world back then.

Klipsch. Even their computer speakers sound awesome. I've got 2 of their subs, one 10" the other 12", both let you feel the bass as much as hear it. BTW, their headphones are just as amazing. FWIW

I drive an '02 Grand Caravan and it doesn't have an "auto" setting for the lights. Consequently my getting started routine includes turning on the headlights right after buckling up my seatbelt. Shutting down it's the opposite.. shut off the lights and take off the seatbelt. Now that it's a habit I don't worry about having my lights on anymore.

The chances of a pair of birds fighting over a meal are probably pretty low... I imagine it happens quite often in the wild. The chances of a 3rd bird being there while the fight ensues is probably a bit greater, but it probably does happen every now and again. However, the chances of you being in the right place at the right time to frame this shot and have it turn out as amazing as it did has to be, well, astronomical... I hope you bought a lottery ticket that day

I had a 2007 Camry on which this same thing happened to its dashboard. I tried everything I could think of to clean it up but nothing worked long-term. Turned out that the cure was a complete dash replacement as a result of a recall.. apparently they had a particular lot of these from a single vendor that all came down with the "stickies" around the same time. Anyway, someone suggested it was the result of a failed (or wrong) plasticizer... I imagine it's likely (or at least possibly) a similar problem with the camera finishes. Just my $0.02....

I picked one of these (Majestic) up many years ago at an Orlando, FL surplus store for $20 or so, thinking I would one day find a use for it. Now that I know what it's for I'll have to dig it out of storage. Thanks for the heads up.

I have a couple 3D printers to complement my CNC router and engraver. I've used Autocad for decades and can bang out 2D designs quite quickly, but when I moved into 3D printing I needed to step up to 3D CAD and chose Fusion 360 since it was also from AutoDesk. It took me quite a bit of time to get into the 3D mindset... Fusion operates quite differently from Autocad. There are other 3D CADs out there (Rhino, TinkerCad come to mind) but they all have a learning curve. All that being said, I don't think there's a week that's gone by where I didn't wind up 3D printing something, either for work or one of my hobbies, since I first started doing it. It's fun, challenging, useful and an excellent way to burn up spare time you're already short on...

Not to mention that over time it imparts that super-slick, almost wax-like finish to the glass that causes the rain to bead up and be more easily removed by the wipers. RainX is great stuff, don't care what color it is.

You're absolutely right, but she does have some competition... my vote today goes to Olivia Wilde. She might not have done any movies as epic as Casablanca but there's no getting away from those eyes. IMHO
