98.5 24v.

First pictures since I've brought it home. Did a quick clean on it, which led me to see the truck needs a claybar something horrible.

On a side note anyone know how to get grease off the plastic on the front bumper? Changed the steering box a few weeks ago and some of the grease won't come off :confused013:

And apparently there was a smudge on my camera lens I didn't notice until just now

I'm waiting to upgrade cameras. Not sure what I'm buying next I know I'm going DSLR I just don't know what brand.

Try some simple green to get the grease off the bumper.

Truck looks good.

You could make those pictures look awesome in a photo editing software. You need to turn the exposure down some as the beauty and curse of a white truck is, the color reflects all light back to the camera, blowing the image out.

I'll def. grab a bottle of simple green tomorrow.

Is there a software you recommend? I have never used editing software to doctor my pictures. I used manual settings on my camera which is supposed to account for the light and everything.

What kind of manual settings do you have? Is it a point and shoot or is it something more advanced than that (super zoom, or SLR)? If it's an SLR than turn the F/stop up (higher number) to tone down the light that comes in the lens.

As far as editing software, any photoshop, I'm currently running CS4. But I do have a copy of CS5 waiting for me to add more ram to my laptop.
