my boring, stock car...
i got a new camera for christmas and wanted to take some pics.
my plans are to slam it with some nice rims [any suggestions? not aggressive or bling-bling..], color match the front lip/side skirts/rear, JDM one-piece headlights, and rebuilding the engine and transmission.
Specs:
92 Legend LS Coupe
5 Speed
160k miles
i don't think my car is the **** so i don't care if you don't like it. but I DO like it enough that i'll post pictures of it hah

Re: my boring, stock car... (Stoic)
Very good choice. I had a 91 Legend auto that went 175k miles and was still running strong when i traded it in. It was hands down the best car i ever owned, only trouble i ever had with it was the tranny going out due to hard driving. I still would like to get my dream Legend some day, a 95 6 speed coupe.

thanks for the quick replies guys!
basically this shoot showed me how badly i needed a tripod. i hate the way a flash takes away from the "naturalness" of a picture, but my camera's exposure is about 10 seconds with the flash off, and holding it perfectly still was quite a challange! next time ill have a tripod for sure.
the legend is a really nice car, definitely not meant to go fast, but a nice highway cruiser for sure. it was really hard finding a 2nd Generation Manual Coupe....they're really rare...and the 6 speed and Type II motors are even harder to find! this one was good enough for me though hah

Wow, then you got steady hands to keep the camera still at such slow shutter speeds and still come out like this.

thanks...i found the best way was to use two hands, supporting from the bottom and firmly gripping the top...then holding it at stomach level...and then holding my breath until it was done...
the hardest shots were the angled ones because there is no comfortable way to hold the camera at an angle while remaining as still as possible for 8-12 seconds...which is why they came out slightly blurred...and if u think THAT's noticeable...you don't want to see the 2000x1000 resolutions hahahaha. Out of 25 pictures, 15 werent even worth looking at, and of the 10 remaining, these were my favorite 3.
the car wasn't waxed for the 9 months the previous owner had it, and it was impossible to run your hand across it because it wasn't smooth at all. The first thing I did was give it a good wash and a layer of Meguiars NXT wax...it improved the car visually a lot but as you can tell..it's the rainy season now so I'm going to wait for the sun to come out before I put on another layer.
It's actually funny that I ended up at this spot because I was on the roof of the parking garage taking pics (which came out horribly)...and when i was on my way back down I realized what I had driven past!

the 91-95 legend came with a 200hp v6 in 4 door or 2 door with a autobox or 5spd.. In some of the years if not all there was the type 2 option with 230hp and a optional 6spd...
sick ride man and good luck.
