Welcome back. Your best bet on shooting cars would be to hit up the local shows. Im sure you will meet a ton of nice folks there who would love to have their picture taken.
Unfortunatly paying for a house I dont live in finally got the best of me back in January and I had to sell the lemon. Once the house sells I will be able to build another one this time I am planning an LS1 or better. I won a couple of autocross titles and ****ed off my share of corvettes in it but in the end i was tired of putting it back together everytime I drove it. It ate transmissions for some reason...
Hopefully I'll be meeting at least a few of you this summer.
