    So this is neat to look at, the photographer coworker I have took a time laps on locked exposure. it shows you just how much light ACTUALLY went away. our eyes adjust to the change so it seemed brighter than it really was, but the camera doesn't adjust so it shows how dark it was.

    well it didn't seem that dark here either, that's where the camera helps to show you.

    Idk, this doesn't seem likely. Bc that was basically complete darkness. Which means night time is even darker and that can't be.

    Idk enough about cameras to make the argument though.. hmmm

    your eyes adjust, think about when you turn lights off it's "pitch black" until your eyes adjust. night time is lighter than during a solar eclipse because there is reflection off the moon of the sun at nighttime. during an eclipse obviously there is no reflection.

    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.

    The more and more I look at the Goodyear mt/r the more I like the concept. Silica rubber means better grip for off road and better rain traction(they use the same compound on rain tires for motorcycles). Huge lugs on the sides for edge grip and mud. Nice center tread to break suction for mud and for more rubber on rocks.


    BUT the reviews on milage are wild. Everything from 50k to 20k.

    Some say they are a bear to balance.


    Oh and of course Kevlar brooooo


    :notsure:
