(but not with the vibe though)yeah the first two were taken outside my house, n the others were taken on 74. most of em were at vista point, n a couple were a lil bit down the mountain. it was windy as hell up there that day, if i weighed ten pounds less, i woulda blown away. by the time i was done, my car was covered in dust
