    How To Add Pictures

    To add pics: as of June 16th, 2004

    A) Click on "MANAGE ATTACHMENTS" when creating a post.
    B) Click on "BROWSE".
    C) Locate the file (on your computer) that you want to upload.
    D) Enter "OPEN" (I know - it doesn't make sense - we don't want to 'Open' the file but
    that's the way Microsoft allows it).
    E) Click on "UPLOAD".
    F) If you have only one picture to upload, click on "CLOSE THIS WINDOW".
    F1) If file is too big, which is common, you must resize the picture using a picture
    editing software to downsize it to 100,000 KB (100KB).
    F2) Most folk have MS PAINT that came with their Windows (most versions).
    F2a) Using the Microsoft Explore option, locate the file and right click on the
    picture then click on "Edit".
    F2b) The file should then open up for editing.
    F2c) Click on "Image" then "attributes" to see the file size. "Size on disk" will
    indicate the file size. Using that information, guess at how much you need
    to reduce it's size by.
    F2d) Click on "Image" then "Stretch / Skew". There you will be given the option
    on how much to reduce (or enlarge) the picture by percentage,
    horizontally and vertically. Typically, 50% on each will reduce the picture
    size enough (in general).
    F2e) At the Tools Menu, click on "File", then "Save". Accept the original name or
    rename it (I normally rename it so that I don't screw up the original). You
    are now working on the file name that you chose.
    F2f) AGAIN, click on "Image" and "Attributes". Your file size should be a lot less
    than the original. If the file size is now under 100KB, proceed. Otherwise,
    continue to reduce it in size until you have it under 100KB.
    F2g) Go back to your post and start at step "A" again.
    G) If you have multiple pictures to upload, click on "BROWSE" and "Upload" again.
    H) AFTER you have finished uploading the pictures that you want to post, click on
    "Close This Window".
    I) After being returned back to your original message, click on "Preview This Post",
    scroll down to "Additional Options". You should be able to see that your files are
    attached under "Attache Files" heading.

    I don't claim this information to be true on everyone's PC, but it at least should give you an idea on the required steps.

    Gluck,

    Rick

    I can't tell for sure, but the hubcaps on yours looks like the ones that were on mine when I bought it. The cars are/were pretty close. There used to be one around here that had a vinyl top, that was the only difference. The way he drove and took care of his, I doubt the car is still around.:mad:
