kye Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Accidents with semi-trailers? Check! This is how my previous car died... it was borderline write-off before they discovered the chassis was bent. Mine was the blue echo, and the 4wd with trailer went in-between my car and the semi. Traffic was almost stopped and the semi and I were next to each other and the 4wd comes flying up behind me, does an emergency lane change in-between me and the road train. His 4wd fit through the gap but the trailer didn't, and was what caused the damage to my car and the dent in the fuel tank of the semi. For an idea about how much faster he was going than we were, look at how far back the truck (and I) were from where he stopped. If he hadn't have emergency lane-changed I'd probably be living a very different lifestyle right now. It was amazing that no-one was really hurt, but we sure made a mess of the highway for a while! kaylee and webrunner5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have no clue why Sony keeps shitting around with the A7s mk III. I think if they stuck with a 4k sensor rather than pushing the whole 6k 8k thing, they could pull off 10 bit. Heck I'd be happy with a 4k sensor with 1080p only output like the OG A7S. I really don't care much about resolution. kye and webrunner5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Yeah look at how good a Canon C100, Sony PMW F3, OG BMPCC, Canon 5D mk III, Nikon D750, on and on look at "just" 1080p. 4K is really not needed for the vast majority of people. You are completely right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercer Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I just found this 5D Mark II ML Raw video by accident. It’s an ML Raw test from the early days. It is a test for a horror film so it has some graphic/violent content... in case that bothers anybody. kaylee and anonim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely I'm naive, but I can't quite understand why Canon can not simply repack, say, that 5D II + ML Raw sensor/codeck solution and sell it as some sort of its own Digital Bolex version to so many devoted Canon indie/moviemakers and admirers? kaylee and mercer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have no clue why Sony keeps shitting around with the A7s mk III. Say I never did show you my car that I had for a couple of years I sold like 6 months ago. 1998 350Z Nizmo. One of like 1500 of them made in the whole world. Less than 900 left they think. Shot on my Sigma Merrill. Now that is a damn sweet ride. Nissan has made some freaking nice sport coupes, even though I've never been a huge fan of their regular cars. Car derail is the best derail, so here are my babies. 2003 Mitsubishi Galant sport, which is my daily and bone stock save for some neon lights and the sound system, and a 1998 Toyota Celica GTi, which has a tuned/lowered suspension, a lightened clutch, catback exhaust and a short shifter. Starting it up wakes up my neighbours and it tries to kill me when I do highway pulls. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I don't think I have ever heard of a Toyota Celica GTi. GT not GTi. GTi VW yeah. Is that a European model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's the European moniker for the 2-liter, not-quite-GT4 model up until 1998. At least that's the title of the 5th and 6th gens that had the naturally aspirated 3S-GE, I'm not sure what's the reasoning behind the "i". The final 7th gen model however was sold as the GTS, so go figure. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not go anywhere without someone coming up to me and asking about it. Only car I have ever heard of that had shock absorbers in the body. They sent the bodies to Yamaha to have all the seams welded up instead of just spot welded to make them stiffer and stronger. The bodies were so stiff they had to put shocks in the body front and back horizontally to keep them from tearing apart. It had a bunch of crazy things like that in them. Lot of people raced them, and used them as drift cars also. Thing had 315-35-17 on the rear, 275's on the front. I got in a wreck. I ran Under a Semi Tractor Trailer with it. It happened at night. I had to crawl out the passenger window. After they fixed it, 13,000 Dollars later I sold it. Came close to dying. Took 2 wreckers to pull it out form under the trailer! Yeah that is my dumb ass behind the car lol. red motorbikes go fast as well, they also slide pretty fast as well, don't ask me how i know this ? webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sort of looks like an Acura Integra GS from back in the day, at least up front. And Wow that is some Really black paint on it also. Nice looking car.
