It would be vety cool to have 8 or 10 f-bodys show up at some parking lot somewhere and get together!I hope we can do that someday!
Now about the pics.My son walked me through this and once you do it ,it's easy.
A: Go to photobucket.com and sign up,it's free.they will let you store your pics there and you can size them for full screen pics or sig pics or whatever.
B:Once your pics are there you copy the url to this website and you are done.
C; you can copy to posts or go to USER CP which is at the top of every page on this site and add avatars and sig pics and all.

If you have trouble with it, post here or PM me (or both) and I'll give you my cell number and walk you through it on the phone! I like pics!

Yeah! It would be kinda hard to post 'em if you ain't got 'em!
Way too cold out for me to offer to take pics.I drive a 'vert and live for warm weather!
I'm no expert but I think you can take pics with even a disposable camera and Walgreens will put them on a disc for you?Maybe another member can chime in on this.If you had pics on a disc would you have the ability to put them on your computer?I have a program that does that automatically.

Spot me2,looks good!Like the black rims with the Pewter.

Throttlejunkies,car looks great and pics were right size for screen.If you need avatar size,photobucket lets you resize to that small size also.But I think every time you resize you lose the original so you would have to bring another from your computer to photobucket to replace it if you want to display that size again.

Hopefully Indian Summer will still show up. I'd like to try 41Dragway once in November as every Sunday will be test and tune.

Throttle junkies I think i have seen you out in highland on kennedy some time-ago this past summer sweet ride.

I went there 3-4 weeks ago.Tried to get there early but pulled up around 9:30am .There were around 25 cars in line already and gates still locked!Website says they open at 8am.If your going to change times you should make that info known on the Website I thinkIMO.
So I left but it wasn't a bad day because it warmed up and I put the top down and enjoyed.

WOW, that sucks! But i guess as repairs go,it should be an easy repair. My headlight gear stripped,so I got the brass gears and maybe will get to it this weekend.Have you found out how much a shaft is yet?
