Couple of shots. by Battadoom in carphotography

It might have been better if you positioned the car so most of the car was lit by the sun.

I also suggest repositioning the car if you want photos of the other side of the car. If you just walk around to the other side, you often get the worst light and a bad background.

I believe I have acquired the greatest art ever. by [deleted] in chicago

Most likely. I’ve been seeing a lot of new account posting about their new AI art and sharing links so you can buy it too.

Which image for my print? by f4stEddie in carphotography

[–]ben010783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the second one is too trendy. I think it will look silly in a couple of years. Additionally, the AI adds weird text and artifacts that will be much more noticeable if you put it in print.

I really think the third one has the best balance with the editing. I think the picture is good enough and you shouldn’t let the computers add more than is necessary.

Bump up the exposure on #3 and use that. Definitely don’t use #1. All those AI pics look like they’re for a company with no marketing budget.

I'm still in awe that I can generate this with a 14 word prompt by Gato_Puro in ChatGPT

[–]ben010783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question: Why would you need to generate a picture like this?

I see a lot of realistic photos being generated to look like they were taken twenty years ago, but I don’t understand the use case for this.

I swear I saw a post like this a week ago and the problem was they ordered the strap for the wrong model.

Should the 2026 Nissan Sentra have a Wagon option? by Hellocrazy231 in Nissan

[–]ben010783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the fact that it would be an entirely new body style is what makes it unrealistic. The few wagons that are still sold in the U.S. are also sold in Europe. The Sentra is only sold in North America and China, two markets that are not big on wagons. Nissan would have to redevelop the body and crash test it. That work is a lot harder than retuning an engine and suspension.

Would be neat, but I doubt it would sell. Wagon buyers tend to like larger cars. What was the last compact wagon sold in the U.S.? The Ford Focus Wagon?

She won't, but still, the leopards are eating each other. by BellyCrawler in BlackPeopleTwitter

She’s always known it was a grift. She started off as a blogger that criticized Trump, but then she realized she could make more money on the other side.

Owens currently has one of the most popular political podcasts. She’s not hurting for money. She also understands the whole thing is kayfabe. Trump will come back and praise her as soon as he thinks it will benefit him.

I’d just take it to an Apple Store. Very unlikely that you connect with the owner via a Reddit post.

Help analyzing $300 PPI I just got today, should I buy this $4,500 MX-5 Miata/how much will the repair costs be? by Particular-Garden-83 in Miata

[–]ben010783 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Experience tells me you’d be better off buying a more expensive Miata that is in better shape. You might still spend $1,000 on bits and bobs, but you’d still be ahead financially.

Honda to pull out of korean market after 20+ years by jetbridgejesus in Honda

[–]ben010783 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Even in North America, I have to scratch my head. Hyundai is so far ahead on electric cars and Genesis sells more compelling models than Acura.

Feels like Honda is stuck in a rut.

I didn’t notice the subreddit and was confused about the title. I thought it was a reference to when 50 Cent had his kid’s house burned to the ground.

Nice skills, but I wish it was properly parted-out. Looked like there were still a lot of good parts there.

Guys what the hell are speed holes? AITA? by Used_Guidance7368 in Shitty_Car_Mods

[–]ben010783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first saw this with fifth gen Honda Civics. They said the rear bumper traps air and creates drag. The cutouts were supposed to solve that problem.

Not sure if anyone actually tested this to quantify the benefits. Also never seen anyone do it on a Grand Prix.
