I sent this via rep statement but I'll post here cause someone else prolly wants to know.

the way *I* do it - is I host my pictures on Photobucket. You can get a free account and just upload your pics there. Once you upload - if you mouse over a pic it gives you several options for C&P below the picture. Click on the one that says "IMG Code" (the box to the right) - when you click on it the box should change to read "copied" - then just flip back over here and paste the code in.

Do a preview first to verify and voila!

1985 Ford F150 Stepside 4x4...My relationship with this truck was like that of certain Femmes' with their favorite high heels: I gladly endured the lousy ride quality, lack of air conditioning and inevitable mechanical quirks of a 25 yr old truck because driving it made me feel damned sexy- especially from behind!

Had, yes. I traded the truck a few months ago when the nickel-and-dime-ing turned into thousands-of-dollar-ing.

Maybe, if I had loved her more...we could have worked it out...but sometimes you just have to back up...and one morning she just couldn't get it into reverse and I had to drive through the neighbor's yard to get to work...and that's when I knew it was time to let go

I have a more comfortable, more practical and much-less-sexy Explorer, now. Blah.

I traded it for a 1970 Chevy El Camino. I don't remember why I decided I wanted an El Camino, much less a used one, but that's what I did. It did have the side rails on it. I'm thinking it was because I had acquired a wife, a dog and a house. I guess I needed the appropriate vehicle so we could go camping and do all that stuff you need to do to have the American dream. It certainly was not a muscle car or a hot rod car for sure or a car to attract the girls....<grin>

Today..........laughin.................I drive a lesbianna car...1998 Subaru Forester....I got it after my 1998 green Ford Mustang got T-boned and totaled (I walked away from that wreck also). I don't have much luck with hot cars....

Yes, you do have the official "lesbian" car! I know I sort of considered getting one at some point. I wanted to be part of the club!

That and I really have no interest in doing a quarter mile at the tracks - and a lot of them race their cars... Mine's a Daily Driver... almost 5 years old and over 130k miles on it.

Oh and pollen season starts here in Georgia around the first of March - and I don't wash or do shit to my car until it's over - end of April / first of May. Used to be I'd wash my car every Saturday.. buuuuuuuuuuuuuut not so much 5 years later lol

Yes, the pollen can be rough, and frustrating. Love the amount of mileage you have put on the car, you must love driving that thing!

Yes, a lot of the guys on the site I am on are big into racing, but not all. A lot of it is about mods and also mechnical stuff. Since they are older cars (1996-2002), there is a lot of discussion about keeping them on the road!

I think one of the things that keeps my love relationship going with my car is that I put her down for the winter. So, it is fresh every year. I have had her for 6 years. I pretty much DD her in the spring/summer.

Wow, absolutely beautiful vehicle! Must have been hard to part with.

My biggest problem is that I would love to have so many different cars/trucks. Even though my taste mainly runs towards affordable vehicles, I still can't have them all!
