OK, on with the game!

NEXT CHALLENGE:

YOUR E9X WITH AN OLD ABANDONED AND RICKETY-LOOKING BRIDGE (THE MORE VISIBLE RUST THE BETTER) IN THE BACKGROUND. AND PLEASE DON'T BOTHER USING JUST ANY OLD BRIDGE - FIND SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD PREFER NOT TO WALK/DRIVE ON.

Here's a graphic to show what toe looks like:



Here's another a graphic representation:



Camber is the other aspect when you get a wheel alignment - what most people are concerned with. Most people are more worried about tuck and tire wear.

Toe will help when autocrossing where under/over steer really needs to be controlled.

I think what they are talking about is the wheel placement and direction. I think that is what "toe" is.

LM335, I kinda wanna say no to both pics because both bridges both look quite nice, especially the second one. I'm looking for something that LOOKS like it might actually fall down/apart. And I'm not being too picky - that second bridge actually looks BEAUTIFUL! You don't see many wooden bridges that look well maintained.

Hope you understand. Love what uve done to ur e90 btw!

I actually have a bridge in mind and IT'S IN OREGON TOO. On Jantzen Beach, there's a place with a hella scary looking bridge that definitely qualifies for this challenge. If no one does this (highly unlikely), I'll drive down from Bellevue and take a picture there, ok?

totally understand -- the one lane bridge USED to be really beaten up and within the past 5 years must have refinished it

and the wooden one was also redone recently but it was right near the original one so figured i would try it since i was there

I agree. I looked at both bridges and they look great. That's too bad because those are 2 really nice shots

Ok, I'm gonna be away from the computer for a few hours. I'll let you guys approve/disapprove pics for me for the next 4-5 hours (til 7-8pm PST). Hope you all understand what I'm looking for.

I'll be ready to hop on the next challenge if someone can get the winning photo today. thx all.

Thanks Panicos. Give me few minutes to type the next one up.

This one is easy but it will/may slow some down with those fancy mobile phones. Your E9X next to another car with the last number or letter the same as your license plate, such as ABC123 and you GYT563 for example. However, the rest of the plates on both cars must be blurred out or have some sort of cover so not to disclose the owners. If not blocked out no point. I cannot dock a point if not blurred, but if I could I would. . Others feel free to give a thumbs up as it is not too tough.
