yep... the weakest Smile

yeah thats Harney.... good eye.

Here are a few more from a different shoot.

Hope this makes up for it Smile

got love the fact you can make anything a sport!

Looks great.... some really nice detail in there.

My brother in law is a huge train guy... has the whole basement / elevated platforms.... bunchs of tracks. Then come to find out... my neighbor is a covert train guy... no one knew in his basement he had a huge set up.... then I see him in the train shop.... the cat is out of the bag!

My friend owned his cheating girlfriend: (Yes he is a friend)

So saturday, November 18th, I went out to a bar with a few friends. We ordered the UFC fight so I didn't get down there until about 1am which gave me only about an hour to chase some of FSU's finest. I ended up being there well past 2am shooting the shit and hanging out. So after the fun, I walk back to my car solo, jump in and start to head out. As I'm coming up to the entrance, this gray TSX starts to back out and almost hits me before it abruptly stops and pulls back into its spot. Oh wow, what are the ****ing chances, my ex, almost certainly drunk! So I pull out of the lot, make a quick right, and pull into a parking lot, expecting her to go the same way I just went.

Ever since we've been broken up, she's been trying to do her best to pin every little thing on me that goes wrong in her life and has listed me as a suspect in a police report where her car was broken into. Well shit, here she is drunk behind the wheel with me on her tail and now on the phone with the police. She goes maybe a half mile from the original spot before getting pulled over by campus police. I drive by about 5mins later and an FSU PD explorer pulls ME over to get my side of the story and say, "Well, you knew it was Jessica, right?" I said of course I knew it was her... she almost hit me and I saw her car perfectly. They informed me that she was in no way drunk and maybe she just didn't see me. Shit. What are the chances? When we were together she drove wasted with her roommate somewhere and when I confronted her about it, her reply was, "That's just what we do, it's a part of my life..." in a kind of 'take it or leave it' way. This girl has done ever drug in the book short of heroin so the chances of her NOT being drunk at almost 3am in the middle of every damn bar in Tallahassee was almost none. Bad luck on my part I guess.

So fast forward to today. My psycho ex went to campus police and accused me of filing a false police report and assumed that my whole night was spent waiting for her solely to try to get her in trouble and that I KNEW she was sober. So basically I just told my whole truthful story to the very nice lady investigating the whole thing and I've gathered that there's virtually no chance of anything coming of the whole thing... basically because no jury or judge in a million years would believe I was in the wrong for calling a DUI in on someone for almost backing into me past closing time right outside a strip of bars- ex girlfriend or not. So basically the gloves are off between us (as if they haven't been for a while not) and tonight after class I'll have a nws gift for every CRSX member that posts their email in a reply or a positive rep. She's basically begged to get to this point...

From the Mustang News

11-28-06: The 2005 Ford Mustang captured the hearts and minds of millions of fans and future owners when the all-new model debuted. But the proportions and design of Fordâ€™s first purpose-built muscle car in 30-plus years caught the eyes and sparked the imaginations of a pair of the worldâ€™s leading coachbuilders in Italy as well.

â€œWhen we saw the new Mustang, we knew two things: It was the best weâ€™d seen since the original, and we had to get our hands on one,â€ said Fabrizio Giugiaro, styling director of Italdesign â€“ Giugiaro S.P.A. â€œWe still believe itâ€™s important to show the automotive world pure exercises in style that interpret key models reflecting the history and image of important brands.â€

So in early 2005, Giugiaro pitched J Mays, Ford Motor Companyâ€™s group vice president, Design and chief creative officer, on his idea to do an Italian job on the beloved Mustang. The result: Mustang by Giugiaro â€“ a one-of-a-kind concept powered by Ford Racing technologies, marking the Italian coachbuilderâ€™s first reveal at the inaugural November Los Angeles Auto Show.

â€œIt seemed only fitting,â€ said Mays. â€œThis design study reinforces the global appeal of Mustang, yet itâ€™s right at home in L.A. â€“ Americaâ€™s most enthusiastic performance and muscle car market. Plus, design icon Giorgetto Giugairoâ€™s offer to work his magic on Mustang alongside his son underscores the timelessness allure of Fordâ€™s most iconic car.â€

Design aficionados will remember that the senior Giugiaro â€“ who last year celebrated his 50 th anniversary in the business by designing a custom-made Ferrari, the GG50 â€“ created the 1965 Bertone Mustang. The car, which was unmistakably Italian in its interpretation, became the first European-styled car to make its international debut in America following the end of

The senior Giugiaroâ€™s portfolio includes concept and production designs for nearly every automaker in the world â€“ from Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Volkswagen to Mazda, Lotus and Bugatti. Since joining ItalDesign, the family firm, in 1990, Fabrizio Giugiaro has helped deliver key global designs as well, but American automotive icons have long captured his attention.

He designed the Chevrolet Corvette Moray, unveiled in early 2003, and was eager to expand the collection of Giugiaro-interpreted American metal.
Fabrizio Giugiaro led the 2-D design process on the Mustang by Giugiaro concept, allowing him to deliver a complete exterior model from the familyâ€™s Turin, Italy, studios in just four months.

Visually, the Mustang by Giugiaro appears more compact than the production car, thanks to a reduction of the rear overhang and a signature Giugiaro â€œtrickâ€ of tapering the angles on the car to the limit of its mechanical outlines. Still, the Italian version of Americaâ€™s most popular muscle car hasnâ€™t lost any of its swagger.

The vibrant orange concept is wider than the production version. The Giugiaros added 30 millimeters to the front, gradually expanding the width by a full 80 millimeters toward the rear, which is typical in Italian design.

With its longer hood and the trunk barely visible, the car looks more of a fastback in side view. But details throughout reinforce the freedom and rebellion synonymous with Mustang. Fabrizio Giugiaroâ€™s favorites include:

â€¢ The interior â€“ featuring a dramatic instrument panel that sweeps the width of the car; circular gauges that project from behind the steering wheel; dark brown horsehide-covered headrests with horse logo accents; and seat cushions and backrests elaborately upholstered in dark brown mottled horse hides.

â€¢ The single curved glass panel that bridges the windshield and rear window, serving as the conceptâ€™s roof. Produced by Solutia of Detroit, the panel is made from a special type of crystal that filters out 100 percent of UVA rays while providing unfettered vista views.

â€¢ Its dramatic doors, which are hinged at the base of the upright A-pillar and open vertically at the touch of a button.

â€¢ Bespoke taillights, which are three separate elements as found on the 1964 Mustang â€“ but reinterpreted into a more dramatic arrow shape that links to the louver panels that replace the rear side windows.

â€¢ The visible curl that sweeps into the crest of the conceptâ€™s carbon fiber fenders, hinting at tail fins that defined American cars of the â€˜50s.

â€¢ The sporting-but-elegant unique 20-inch rims, fitted with 275/40 tires on the front and larger 315/35 tires on the rear.

As its wheels and tires suggest, the Mustang by Giugiaro is more than just a tribute to Mustang design. It also is an exclamation of the carâ€™s heritage of performance.
The concept features a powertrain and chassis enhanced in conjunction with Ford Racing â€“ which is responsible for Ford Motor Company motorsports development and operations.

Ford Racingâ€™s efforts include the development and sale of a race-prepared version of the Mustang, called the FR500C, for the Grand-Am KONI Challenge Series. In its first season alone, the FR500C scored five wins in the 2005 GS Class, including the manufacturersâ€™ championship, in which Mustang bested other production-based sports cars, including the BMW M3 and Porsche 911.

This Mustang, a turn-key race car sold to privateers, provided the inspiration for the Mustang by Giugiaro conceptâ€™s performance and handling attributes.

Ford Racing improved on the already-robust 300 horsepower all-aluminum 4.6-liter 3-valve V-8 engine in the production Mustang GT by adding an intercooled twin-screw supercharger for the new concept. Additional improvements include fuel injectors from the Ford GT and a unique engine calibration. Engine air intake is increased with a larger 95 mm mass air meter and a conical air filter. Exhaust performance is enhanced with new Ford Racing mufflers and an X-pipe.

The powertrain upgrades deliver an estimated 500 horsepower, complete with a boost level of 11 psi from the Ford Racing supercharger. A high-efficiency Ford Racing aluminum radiator provides increased cooling capability to accompany the extra 200 horsepower provided under hood.

Under the car, the FR500C-inspired chassis tuning is accomplished with a tailored Ford Racing Handling Pack. This package, available through Ford Racing for the Mustang GT, adds new Dynamic-tuned dampers, lowering springs and anti-sway bars. The changes give the car a lower stance while sharpening handling response. The car rides approximately 1.5 inches lower than the production Mustang GT.

â€œThe Mustang by Giugiaro drives as good as it looks,â€ said Fabrizio Giugiaro. â€œAfter taking it to the limits on streets outside of Turin, I can honestly say this car was well worth the 30,000 hours of blood, sweat and tears that we invested to create a modern performance classic.â€

You would think he was an internet newb or something..... Come on lee... 3 posts... no pics of the car... you know better than that.

Most of you have met him up at Kohl's... he is the other yellow Roush.
