Fun video.

So the guy hits the track to test a big brake kit without appropriate brake fluid for tracking - without airbags? Without a helmet?

Not sure where on the mitten you live but you must hate living there

I reside in West Michigan, specifically Ottawa County. If I had a choice I would either move to Seattle or Florida.

Seattle:
Pros: Rain, rain, rain, and plenty of overcast. Winters there aren't too harsh and usually is no colder than 40 degrees during the time.

Cons: Hardly any sun.

Florida:
Pros: Always warm and sunny. 99% of the time it is usually hot and I love that.

Cons: Hurricanes.

My sister has an SRT202 and she loves it. Holy shit, is it heavy! I have an X-700 that I never really enjoyed using. Plus it needs new seals and I'm lazy. I have an Agfa 535 that I use all the time. And I'm about to pick up a Yashica Electro 35 GSN from a local guy.

It sure is heavy that's for sure! I love it because it is such a classic item. I forgot to mention that I also have a cheap point and shoot as well, its the Ilford Sprite 35-II and I have that with me everywhere I go.

Made out of cheap plastic but I just love 35mm let alone film photography.

Yup, that's exactly how I treat my Agfa. It's small (fits in a jacket pocket), and surprisingly high quality for the price. Metal body with "rough" plastic coating, huuuuuge bright viewfinder, 40mm f/2.8 lens, variable shutter speed (1/500 down to a few seconds), pretty versatile 3 zone focus with manual override. I love this thing so much.

Some recent shots from the Agfa, the first two are Portra 400, the last one is Tri-X.

Killer shots man. I am still a novice but I got a few decent pictures I took in December of last year that I'll have to show you later when I get back home.

Do you develop your film as well? I am going to have to start doing that myself since there isn't any camera shops nearby that can even do that for me.

There's actually a dev lab on the bottom floor of my building, pretty lucky there. I've been tryna bug my friend to teach me how to develop -- he's got all the chemicals and such. We signed up for a film printing class at the end of July I'm pretty stoked for. They're gonna teach us how to do all the fine tuning to negatives to get nice prints.

Just got back from picking up lunch at Arbys. The lady in the drive-thru was getting bitched at because they didn't stir his lemonade well enough.

you know you're old when you think kids are idiots

As long as we're mocking the 'yutes...

Coupled with:

And this:
https://www.npr.org/2022/06/29/1108109505/job-cuts-layoffs-economy-recession

TLDR: College age kids believe they should get paid 2x the going rate for their industry, while working less than 5 days a week in the middle of what's about to be a full blown recession. There's a whole lotta kids about to get a hard dose of reality.

That's pretty damn awesome man! You got a certain film that you like to use the most? Or are you open to whatever you can utilize?
The trend nowadays is Kodak Portra 400 or Gold 200 so it is literally impossible to get any local or online as far as I could see.

Looks like rattle can paint. Done during a wind storm on a humid day.

By a blind 10 year old. Well, the 10 year old wasn't blind when they started. But then the paint got in the eyes, and well kids just don't know when to stop.
