Default Question for the Guys

Okay, So I have posted about three questions before in reference to pretty much the perfect gift for my boyfriend.

---Okay, SO I am thinking about taking pics with his car. --His bf told me that Me taking pics with his car would be the best gift. I am curious to know what he meant when he also told me to "like. i mean for their gf to take pics with their cool car, not pics of u and treys car. lol"

Is that meaning not a normal pic but a sexy pic?
But anyways also if you were getting pics for you from your girlie what would be the best pose?

Thanks

My gf has posed with my car and the pics came out well. Not sure how you're going to get ahold of his car to take pics with though, lol. Here's a few ideas:

Your man is very lucky indeed, to have a gal like yourself. Hope your picture taking goes well I'm sure he will like it. It's picture of his 2 favorite things(I would guess), he will like it.

Yea, I would be happy with just a pic of my car and my gf. Wouldn't even have to be a sexy pic. I love the black and white pic she took of my car and framed it, even though I pointed out that I wish I would have had it washed/waxed/detailed first.

The obvious answer is, combine the wash-n-detail
with the photo shoot.

Don't all girlfriends wash the car in high heels and
Daisy Dukes? Too bad the water got all
over....

it is a great gift idea if you get a professional photographer or at least someone who is really good and has a good camera

a sony cybershot or any pocket camera is not what I mean by GOOD camera btw

if you know someone who will help you out cheap then you could also have it detailed for him, otherwise have him get it cleaned up best he can, find some good locations, and have fun

Haha I was just trying to explain it in a basic way... As for the occasion, I don't think it matters. He would be glad to get a great picture anytime. I would definitely make sure that the car is clean though. He isn't going to care how you are dressed/posed(he will like it no matter what), but he will notice if his car is dirty...

Well firstly, I think I can get his car for a day but then maybe not. He let me do it a couple times before because He thought I was getting something done to it I think lol.. But really I wanted to drive it and then Take pics of it with a police car that he loved.
Another time I had his car, I got pulled over :'( I decided to race a mustang and ya... But He was actually not mad at me only because I WON! yay

But back to my main reason, I think that he will let me borrow it for a day if I "pinky" Nothing will happen to it and I will take super care of it!

i think I will get a sexy outfit and take pics but give it to him on our year... Unless I can get the outfits before his b-day then I will do that. So really right now I need Help with figuring out a short shifter for his car.

Oh and what about spark plugs for v-day =] like I can buy a bunch and make a heart out of it and give it to him... && make a heart, I mean glue the boxes together in a shape of a heart =] =] =]

Question conan?
Is that actually a short shifter?
I went to that site and it says "UMI Performance's short shifter handle is designed to give you the feel of a short shifter for a fraction of the price. It places your hand in the correct comfortable position for quick shifts and less chance of missing the gear you need to be in."
Is it a handle or the shifter? I am sorry, really do not know what I shifter is in the first place but I just was not sure if that was or not!
Thanks for your help though..

The shifter is what you shift gears with. His car is a manual transmission? (clutch pedal) The picture from umi is the stock and the umi shifter, stock is on the left theirs is on the right. The shorter stick makes changing gears faster and less chance of missing a gear.
