HDR..A 7g, Endeavor and a GVR4 on jackstands

[4-G-rim]

Well after a busy of work..I finally had a day off. Woke up early and decided to do some practice with HDR. I finally got Photoshop CS2 and still practicing and there are alot of more options and settings to mess with on PS CS2. Hope you enjoy! :cool:

Here are the first few batches I did with Photomatix.

I personally love this pic. I was able to manupilate to get this pic to look like a "vagued vision".

I like this one the most, it looks like the road from the movie "Twister"

Your car looks amazing!

As for the HDR effects, just some CC... You over manipulating the pics to the point where they are getting grainy and an halo effect. What are you using to PP your pics? Have you tried using Lightroom?

Even though its highly manipulated, that 2nd pic is the fucking awesomeness!!! :D

[4-G-rim]

I am still getting used to all the different ways I can change settings on PS. I agree that I have over manipulated on the pics. I will rework this batch of pix I took today more and see if I can get them to look better.

Thanks for the comments!

man it's funny how our two garages resemble each other. i was just thinking to myself... "his fiancee must have accepted the fact that she's probably never going to have a spot in the garage." unless you get a three car

[Jeffylou87]

She has accepted it...and plus she knew even before we bought the house too. :cool: Her only gripe is the garage being cluttered...she keeps telling me to head to Lowes or Home Depot and start piecing a garage organizing set. I do want to use more wall space so I can open up some floor space. I am though planning to buy a shed for the yard equipment, some of my big car parts and misc stuff to store.

We have discussed about what I am going to do when I buy my Evo. I definitely want to keep it in the garage..but one of the Galants have to be out. I am looking to rent a storage unit for my GVR4 since when I get it to what I want it to be...I won't be driving it soo much.

[gilgastelum21]

so how is the Endeavor so far? do you know how many gallons to fill her up and the average mileage you get?

im really getting sick of getting 16-18mpg on an uber slow 4 cylinder. there is a good deal on a 30k miles in my dealer which is very tempting.

thanks in advance

edit/ hmm mitsucars.com has it listed for 15/19mpg for the awd. argg.

The Endeavor has a huge tank...I think close to 21 gallons. :shock: My fiance's is a 2wd and they get better mpg. We are averaging around 21mpg but for some reason lately when its been a bit cooler we are averaging 1 more gallon of mpg better.

The 3.8l V6 is pretty dayam impressive and the transmission is also is silky smooth. I believe the very first batch of Endeavors had 230hp then halfway of 2004 production, the V6's got a 20hp increase to 250hp. I forgot the date breakdown..but ours was one of the last batches of the 04 models.

You won't be disappointed...we haven't had a single issue with ours yet and if you are looking for practicality its a awsome vehicle. :cool:

yeah, im really considering it but when gas hits $4 for premium again, ay carramba.

i think if it had a third row seats, that would be perfect.

[4-G-rim]

Yes...when premium was around $3.50 a gallon..the Endeavor was emptying our pockets as well:sad: Though for SUV's in its class..its gets good mpg.

3rd row seats would be nice..but would be rarely used. We get alot more use out of the extra cargo space w/o a 3rd row seat.

Endeavors have a excellent reliability record and owner satisfaction. Too bad Mitsu decided not to produce a new Endeavor.

well i passed by today to take a look at the used one but it was sold last night. it was white but had the ugly brown interior so i guess its ok. they said they'll have another one this week hopefully a silver one with black interior.
