Cannibalism ... nope, let's not go there

...

More "Gene" with a rumor scoop to boot ... the revealing of the "Family Friendly" hociR R&D area ... Oompa Loompa !!!

The Tesla has been the most sold car in Norway the last few months, btw. Seems everybody wants one. It outsells the K-3 by quite a lot. which tells me the K-3 needs a much bigger battery. A full frame battery, I'd say.

Which it hasn't.

And that's why I won't buy a K-3.

I'll volunteer to take the Tesla out on the track and do a performance test <grin> I would take one of those in a heartbeat, way better than a K-3!

Full frame? Seriously? You bring FF into this? Now THAT'S a thread killer!

On that note, I'm going off to bed and hopefully won't have a repeat of Steve's nightmare ... the hociR, the hociR ...

Ok so maybe my comments about Prius drivers over did it, I am sorry! Do be aware I have friends with apposing "world views" and we have a rousing good time making fun of each other! So that's where I'm coming from just a little fun. Although if you want a car with better economy, reliability, and price go VW.
Gene Wilder is also my favorite Willie Wonka!!!
Now Back to dinner!!

Tokyo is totally doomed... I saw the movie trailer on the tube yesterday. Went by pretty fast, but I think I saw the dreaded hociR letters branded on the beast's, um, rump

Joel, I hope you're sitting down. I'm going to say something that may come as a shock to not just you, but many participants of this thread.
Okay, here goes.
There are threads/forums/topics on pentaxforums.com besides "why I won't buy a K -3."
I know, I know, hard to accept and/or believe, but it's true.

Wait...are you sure about this.
I tried and looked, most of them seem to be Copy/Paste from several years/tears ago. With minimal new content. Just a bunch of new members too lazy to figure it out for them self's.
Cheers.

edit: I will not buy a k3 just so I can coach a newbie, too lazy, to figure out how to use it.

Probably a lurker. From the context above, he seems to be promoting that infamous photocopier company's product. I'd like to see him try that in Tokyo as it sinks into oblivion.

Joel B · 04-27-2014, 06:43 PM

Not to mess with the current trend of the thread but I have to post this:
My son's school project.

Better photos coming. He redid the front end for our friend cause it was all busted up
