Default Most important piece of photographic equipment...

Weeeeee! I'm in the works of buying a new truck today... I'm REALLY excited and REALLY excited and... .wait, I said that already... Anyways, I'm REALLY excited so I thought I'd share with you guys

Deal is a bit rocky though because its (of course) slightly more than I can afford... So it'll all hinge on how much they'll give me for a trade in on my current truck.

I so totally want this thing though... its got everything I need! because... it has everything!
I'm most excited about the integrated toolboxes on the box.

I was driving down the highway doing the test drive thing and the dude told me that it had a heated steering wheel.... first words out of my mouth was "Fck, now I gotta buy it..." lol. A fella at work was crowing about how his new truck has air conditioned seats, an I told him that it was kinda useless... we live in CANADA, what we really need is a heated fricken steering wheel lol, I'd never heard of a vehicle with a heated steering wheel before today lol.

Anyway... I'm pretty excited, so i think I'll go for a run...

PS. I'd post a link, but if i do the guys at the dealer will see a bunch of activity on it and wont give me a deal! so I wont link till after i know yea or nay.

On a side note... did you guys know that the smilies count towards how many images you have in your post? It wouldnt let me save because i had too many images lol, i was like wtf, i dont have ANY images.... but i guess i did...

Ok fine... its not the most important.... but today, its important!

Yup. It ain't no truck, even if the steering wheel is heated.

Good luck on your purchase.

Hush Puppy express is a lot cheaper than a vehicle.

All kidding aside, my vehicle is definitely my most important piece of photographic equipment. And the most important photographic technique I employ is the U-Turn.

Most of the photographic opportunities I'm presented with are when I'm on my way to or from work. "Work" is not a static place, but can be hundreds, or even thousands of kilometers away from where I live. My wheels are what gets me around. I spend more time in my truck than I do anywhere else. (home included) So its pretty important to me.

For me, it'd be a memory card. Without it, doesn't matter what gear I have or what vehicle, camera is all but useless if it doesn't have a memory card in it lol
