Why yes it is.  Happens to be a Craig that has a better FM reception than my Ram 1500 has.  It sadly is all that is left from my dad's '72 Road runner.

Welcome aboard gang.   :cheers:
Nice rides. 

MoparSam, it looks like you are missing this for your steering wheel. Do you have it and it's just not put on?

Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

My ex girlfriend and I were messing around with her new camera, I set up the shot, but I let her actually take the photo because I have no idea how to work the Nikon D60.

It started raining shortly after we started the shoot so we had to wrap it up and drive the car home.

This was the one decent pic we were able to shoot (notice the raindrop already on the lens). And then with a little editing I was able to come up with next photo.

if you are going to take those night shots, put the camera on program mode, night landscape mode or night portrait mode(they are all on that little wheel on the top right of the camera) so the shutter will automatically capture as much light as it can. Program mode(also the A,S,M modes) automatically adjusts aperture and shutter speeds.  You also want to use a tripod or remote shutter release in low light situations where the shutter is going to be open for any length of time or your pictures will be blurry as I imagine that is what happened in this case. No one can hold a camera steady enough for a night shot.  Still a nice picture though.
Oh yeah focus manually as well instead of auto focus. Experiment on a still subject and use all those different modes one at a time.  you'll be surprised at how different each picture looks.

We were using a tripod... but you have to understand we took this picture with about a minute of prep work, it started raining so we hurried up and snapped the picture. This is some of her other work.... when we she has time to adjust and play with the aperture, shutter speed, focus and so on.

And don't worry, you never have to apologize for the condition of your car.  The whole purpose of the site is to mutually enjoy all things Charger so watching a restoration is as exciting as a race which is as much fun as winning a concours trophy which is as enjoyable as dreaming about your first which is as cool as helping somebody score a badly needed part etc. etc.

that's true ghoste>> yeh it was from craigslist>> it was my buddy's before we traded haha
