A friend with the same car as me woke up to her car in her garage. She had parked it outside, near the end of their driveway. Their driveway slopes downward towards the garage. She never parks in gear. Always park in gear. :D I never made an exception to this rule and I don't see why anyone would, i...

All of my dubber friends are ridiculous. Everyone gets air ride & notches their frame so they can go lower, but I just want air so I can drive around LA's shitty roads without worrying about going through oil pans like they're wear items, lol.

Numerous other little tools as well for motion tracking, external audio sync, etc. but that's mainly it. video...
