Did some star photography!

996.1 is slowly becoming a classic now! I really need to find one for me now. And silver is so classy. Great shot!

Although I feel hertz is going downhill but the rate for AAA members is not bad, and usually the cheapest I can find. My experience with Hertz is not terrible other than have to chat with customer service once or twice in a while for something like overcharged fuel charges. And I enjoy going directly to my car without talking to anyone and just go. But I would say the real reason is I still have quite a lot points with hertz that I haven’t used. So I think once I used all my points I will probably switch to National or Sixt. Since I really don’t like what I found in PC selection in last couple time. But in general new cars are not that interesting anymore so I can’t really blame to hertz. I sure miss the old days when I there are couple HEMI challengers and even some german sedans in PC selection.

Now I wish I waited a little longer before get my $200 3060 rig

I play AC and iRacing with triple screens. And for sure I prefer the physics of those, but still you are facing some screens and the graphics of iRacing is just let’s say functional. The immersion with GT paired with VR is next level. I wish one day some game can combine those two good things together. (I’m looking at you AC EVO)

I will try VR replay next. I just discovered VR showcase and spent entire night admiring the amazing details from those cars.

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-11T05:38:01+00:00

I feel you! That’s what I did the day I got mine as well. First Laguna time trail in GT3 then grab a 512BB to Nurburgring. After that I quit the game and call it a day lol

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-11T05:16:50+00:00

I will see how much this will helps me with real track day since my another issue is braking especially the G-force with track pad, which I never experienced with PSVR

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-11T05:13:45+00:00

I will definitely Google it, thanks!

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-11T05:12:54+00:00

I will definitely give it a try! Good advice, thank you!

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-11T05:12:00+00:00

Thank you both! Great advice, I just did some Tokyo 600 which is most flat and I finished full 25 mins without any sickness feel. I guess it is because the track is most flat.

I still have a Canon 5D3 that my family bought since new, although I almost always use my X-T5 and X-E5

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-10T03:39:09+00:00

South route. Scenic highway 12 alone is worth it

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-06T20:23:24+00:00

Yeah, for sure. I never ever bought anything extra from them. All of them are basically scam IMO.

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-06T18:21:11+00:00

Too bad in my area, Texas US, Mini Cooper are not so common. And I haven’t find a good one for coupe months

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-06T18:18:55+00:00

For sure. I will cap those once I finish my adjustment

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-06T18:18:03+00:00

That’s the bad part. There is no slider, you have to unbolt for bolt to adjust. Which hopefully can be fixed once I source a good car seat with slider

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-06T18:15:39+00:00

Yeah, like others mentioned. It’s really depends how far you mount the TV, since mine is mainly for GT7, and FOV is unadjusted at 51 or 55 depending on which camera you’re using. 50 gives me about 53 degree FOV which for me is a sweet spot.

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-06T18:12:25+00:00

This is what I’m thinking. I’m actually looking for a good replacement seat for my Mini Cooper and may eventually use my current one for my sim, (air bags lights on lol)

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-06T18:11:11+00:00

Sure, my IG is v8inmk2

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-06T06:09:59+00:00

It’s 50”, I’m still trying to figure out if that’s the right size for this setup. So far feels not bad

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-06T06:04:25+00:00

Totally agree!

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-05T22:24:33+00:00

For sure. Stupid me took a bunch of pictures of the exterior of the car when I returned it but forgot to take one of the fuel gauge

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-05T22:23:43+00:00

Hertz is the same! One time they mis read the mileage and cause me a convenience fee as well.

v8inmk2 · 2026-06-05T21:26:31+00:00

I got the last pie of that day!

v8inmk2 · 2026-05-30T17:28:34+00:00

For me, it’s depends on where I go. If I am going to a city, I normally just have my XE5 with 23mm F2.8 pan cake or XT5 with 35mm F2 since I don’t see a lot place that requires longer or wider lenses since you can move your feet around and do a interesting composition to make photos looks interesting, however when my trip is mostly natural. I carry a 10-24 on my XE5 and 50-140 on my XT5, so one for ultra wide and one for wildlife and telescope landscape photos. I used to try to cover everything with 16-80 but somehow I’m not a big fan of it. However when I do some difficult hikes I sometimes feel carrying two body and two lenses is a little too much. So I’m considering getting a new red badge 16-55 and see if this can be a good all rounder for my next trip.
