I’ve pretty much decided to switch to the convertible. I like the lines of it when the top is up better than the coupe. That combined with one button convenience of lowering the top convinced me. I made the animations above to show the differences between the coupe and convertible. Which do you prefer?
I’m back! My Corvette story continues after more than 4 years away. I ended up selling my C7 back in December of 2015. Now I have a deposit placed on a 2020 or possibly a 2021 C8 Corvette!
Above are the 2 configurations I am trying to decide between. The difference is the interior color. Which do you prefer?
Just picked up a new DSLR camera, a Canon EOS Rebel SL1. It’s a fantastic camera. Even though it was quite overcast today the camera still did an admirable job capturing this beauty. Here’s my first shot from the DSLR of what is sure to be many more to come!
Brought her up to Lake Las Vegas and took a few pics in various different locations. This is a beautiful place to photograph a beautiful car!
More incredible skies, and an even more incredible car!
What an amazing sky. What an amazing car.
Beautiful sky, beautiful car.
Here’s a video walk around of my Stingray, filmed in a very scenic location.
And took these at the second location I was fortunate to find.
Took these in the first of two magnificent locations I stumbled upon today.
More shots from the same elevated location as the panoramic image.
A panoramic image taken high above the city. The Las Vegas Strip can be seen beneath the glorious blue sky in the distant background.
Some recent shots.
Looking awesome!!
Taking the Walmart parking lot to the next level.
Thought I'd start posting about my experience using CarPlay as I use it on a daily basis. This will include everything from features I discover to annoyances, here are 10 random observations and thoughts so far:
1. When selecting the artists tab sometimes I am presented with an A-Z list on the right hand side where I can jump to artists that start with a specific letter, very handy. Unfortunately a great many times the artists tab does not offer me this option. There's no rhyme or reason to why it appears sometimes but not others that I can discern.
2. I thought the interface was boring but my son pointed something out to me tonight that altered my opinion. I was under the impression that when a track was playing the background was simply a solid color with large text about the track overlaid on top of it. Actually the album art is behind the text, it's full screen and blurred out. My opinion now is that it's kind of slick, thank you son.
3. It's not wireless yet and with iOS9 released now it should be.
4. I experienced a very loud shriek for lack of a better term twice during a song on iTunes Radio. It was very jarring, but was the first time it's happened so perhaps it was just a glitch. Going to keep my ears open for this one.
5. I thought it was interesting that when I pressed the homescreen button (the physical one on the infotainment controls) that the song playing in CarPlay showed on the MyLink interface. There was no interruption so apparently you can switch back and forth at will between CarPlay and MyLink. while in the same song.
6. When swtching songs track information appears in the HUD.
7. Siri works really well when requesting specific music to be played. It'll find a track by name even if the artist isn't spoken.
8. The steering wheel controls function in a very limited manner with CarPlay. About the only control I was able to utilize was the up and down arrow which advanced to the next and previous tracks when listening to the iPod (music) component of CarPlay. The arrow buttons on the steering wheel also advanced to another channel when in iHeart radio and performed a song skip in iTunes Radio.
9. The rotary control knob under the infotainment screen does not function in CarPlay. (major bummer)
10. There's no video support of any kind, but I guess that's not too surprising. Still it would have been amazing to support YouTube, Netflix, and similar apps. They could even have limited video playback to when the car was in park, but alas it wasn't to be.
Stay tuned for more....
