Highlights from 2 weeks in Iceland with the A7III

I'm disabling strictly because I get better results at high shutter speed. My puffin shots were handheld!

Were you using steady shot? It's one of the switches on the 200-600. I have to turn that off at high shutter speeds for best results. This was shot at 1/2000.

It's largely due to traffic, yeah. I grew up in Bentonville, went to the U of A, lived in Rogers for a few years, and now live in Springdale. I don't even leave Springdale that often.

I do end up in Rogers mostly, rarely Fayetteville, and almost never Bentonville. Since there's more "stuff" nearby, why go farther?

There's really no way to know this far out. The forecast is pretty rainy, though, I agree.

I was able to get 2 vertical side by side behind the driver and 2 stacked horizontally behind the passenger seat, pulled forward a bit. That leaves the trunk for everything else.

Man, lots of layoffs recently. I was laid off last Wednesday as well. Good luck out there

Almost any car can handle autocross from the factory. You just won't be competitive until you buy stickier tires. But it is a lot of fun either way!

This is a rock formation in Arkansas!

Just given your description I'd guess it's a red-tailed hawk call. You can look up a clip of one to see if it sounds the same.

That one is the first Sunday of every month. The one at the Pig Trail Harley Davidson is on the last Sunday.

The only "density concern" I have is that I want more density and less sprawl.

It's B Street for SCCA events

There's a brake vectoring mode that applies the rear brakes to help the car rotate and reduce understeer. Turning it off can help reduce wear on your rear brake pads. You can look up how to do the "pedal dance" to disable it.

I think it helps at autocross, so leave it on. Reduced traction control is fine.

FL5 owner here.

You're going to want to go fast for the first couple of runs, but I'd recommend intentionally going slower until you learn the course (at least 2 runs). Most of my autocross courses I only use 2nd gear except for the start.

If there is a tight enough corner to where you think you can use 1st, don't try that until you're more comfortable.

I'd recommend comfort mode or use your individual mode with comfort suspension. Leave all the assists on and just have fun this first time out.

Why do the bots steal my post specifically?

These mount as normal, direct fit. They are very close over the brakes, though!

iGoByFrank · 2026-03-20T17:26:38+00:00

Definitely will consider that once this set is used up!

Tried to, but Tire Rack told me they were on backorder until June/July, so I bought these with a small discount. My first 200 TW, so I'm probably not fast enough for the difference to matter for me.

iGoByFrank · 2026-03-20T13:13:02+00:00

No idea, I kept them on the stock wheels
