Re: Post pics of your ride!
Sounds like a potentially bad idea if you're planning to use a Hero and a Hero 2. If I were you, rather than having two original Hero's to make some stupid 3d footage, get one Hero 2 and shoot regular HD footage instead. The Hero and Hero 2 have drastically different video qualities. For best results you'd probably need two of the same, and it would be silly to buy another first gen Hero when the new one is so much better.

Well the plan is 2 first gens at this point, the first gens are about $100 bucks cheaper and I'm not necessarily filming Avatar here so the video quality can lack a bit if it means being able to use the first gen I already have rather than spending $600 for 2 Hero 2's, then $100 for the 3D case and software, then whatever accessories I'll need. (LCD Backpac, etc.) I've got the 1080p Hero filming at 30fps. I'd like to compare the actual quality difference in the first and second generations to see how noticeable it actually is. I may go out later and take some video and see about posting it.
The first gen's were like $120 on Woot.com a few weeks ago and I just missed out. I would have liked to have had a second GoPro, but am by no means ready to get a second second gen at $299.99.

Re: Post pics of your ride!
I almost bought a pretty minty one... Kinda glad I didn't... Happy with my new toy... I need to take pics...
Scooped this up on the 5th for 600 bones.
1990 CRX Si
These pics are from the seller. I've already made some changes...
Before you judge, know that it is a Si and finding one that is near complete and unmolested is almost unheard of. Its about 95% all there. The only thing I've found that doesn't work is the rear wiper. The a/c works (yes I said a/c), power steering, power sunroof, etc. The interior is nearly complete minus a plastic cover over the top of the rear view mirror and the little tinted plastic piece over the clock buttons. The exterior is rough but for the majority, straight. The engine is a mpfi d16a6 w/ 218k on the clock. The muffler was rusted through, dented up and falling off so I simply broke it off for safety reasons...
