a little guerilla photo action.



the big plane in the background is the support aircraft for our Commander in Chief!
the President is in Kalamazoo for their graduation commencement....so i went down to the K-zoo airport for some photo fun!
the cops were like the photo above is in the main driveway for the airport. 10 seconds- Park, jump out, line up and shoot.
whoops....not to loud with the "shoot". then i bugged out. the cops were all looking at me with that look as i drove by. I waved

hey, quick question??
anyone know the RPO code for this option??



a little photo editor fun....
later
Dan

close, i looked it up its RPO "M-1" built by "Sherman" hahahahahaaaa. you were close.

well after watching the News if i was i Grand Rapids, MI i could have tried to get the mighty AIR FORCE ONE in a pic.Dam!!!

also i guess they brought MARINE ONE in for the event. this photo was taken in Washington D.C a few years back.

ohh,found another one....


i was in DC for a Rock Concert and went to see the sights.
all of the sudden a tremendous ROAR and blam these were in flight. scared the crap out of me. it was so sudden.
then i paused for the Air Raid sirens to go off. the 'coppers were very close. man that was cool.

i guess since they landed the big plane in Kzoo they had to land Air Force One in G.R. 54 miles away, due to space/storage concerns.
the Kzoo Airport can handle all them big planes.

i could'nt get close to the GR airport even if i wanted too, i am sure.

i believe that the big plane in the 'ZOO is the one they shipped the Presidental Motorcade in. three Limos...maybe some Secret Service support also. such a big to-do in the Kzoo. i love this town...strange things happen here all the time.
in 6 years 2 Presidents.....good times. i always go see what i can see.

Bush stopped by for a campaign stop in 2004......

cool pics dan. update: still trying to find a budget sbc v8 kit to install a fuel infected sbc into 7071. looks like i will keep the 88 test mule for a later build. likely will use corvette c5 complete suspension, f430 brembo brakes, f430 19 & 20" wheels, and i already have a 88 cradle powder coated and a ls2/getrag mounted to it. would be a really neat car with a lotus esprit v8 turbo body kit as well. likely will start collecting parts for the build but will be next yr before i start on it. mike

hello, where is everyone?
batousai666 JUN 17, 02:39 PM
hey Mike, buddy? i am here.
i have not had much NICE to say, so i say nothing....mama taught me well!
i mean not here on the PFF i mean in "real life". i have been having my yearly "time of the month" month. usually its in Feb. with the winter blahs and all....but this Feb was good.

i have been out earning my 666 so i have been laying low. i am very MOODY! i got no beef here (on the PFF, anywhere) so i left the Fiero community guys out of it

i feel way better now. cars running great. i start back to work Monday!!!!! no engine swap money but it will be something...(looks at Turbo 2.8 L threads!) so i got that good news and the fact that i like laughing at people more than screaming at them, has helped tremendously.

but, you know? the weather is pissing me off also. it wants to rain, all cloudy and such (for weeks, summer my ass) but it never rains. till i take the Mera out for a little spin then the sky opens right up and downpours.....bloody ding dongs on the weather channels dont know squat....ahhhhh i feel even better with the sun out....first, whole day in a week.

so i will be more a particpent .promise! till next year

we recently had a big 250+ car show around here and i saw this in person (this will keep me laughing for a while.)





at least it was on a Trans Am with the 350.....still horrable.....it was for sale $9995 bawhahahahaa......
*EDIT* man the side shots did not download......crap!
bloody awful....288 gto replica....from far (real far) away,at angle, it looked good....but up close...again with the

after i took these, i went to get Mera X to park next to it too laugh at it. but alas, it was gone before i could sneak past the cops to get into the "show". CRAP, TOO!

this Vicksburg car show i was at is a real good one...on Friday the night before i drove down for "cruise night". got a lot of good pings from people and was able to spread....THE TRUTH THAT IS MERA....and up comes a '05 Ford GT parks right next to me.
the driver turns out to be, the owner of the local Ford dealership....guy gets out of the car and is hit by a bunch of people with questions about his car.....he looks over "his" crowd and says to me "nice Ferrari" i told him it was a Mera. he's heard of them and stuff (cool). we talked cars and such....that was fun. good time.
