There's a fine line between american cars and imports.. dont try and narrow the gap.

that hood makes the front end of your car look WAY too good to put a banner on the windshield. better off without it imo.

For the love of everything that is holy... Please do not put a window banner on that car, it looks way to good.

I'm usually the guy that says, "hey if it makes them happy, go with it," but this time I'm putting my foot down lol, leave it off.

Gunmetal Grey is a sweet colour, I'm painting my car next year and that's what I want to go with... I've seen tons of Black Camaro's but never enuff GunMetal Grey ones.

Both of your guys' cars look sweet, and Tomster03 I agree with the rest of 'em no banner!

A test

This is my test to see if putting an image in the sig works.

I did get a website finally set up last night so I am drawing an image from that.

Here is what I did: Go to user control panel/edit profile scroll to signature options click the VB Code on link (on the left in small text) scroll down to the Adding and image help section and copied the code they used for an example, go back to the sig block and pasted it in then I replaced the actual reference to a reference off my own site, it now looks like this:



click submit at the bottom.

Now I am placing a post and below the typin text box I clicked Show Signature.

We shall see if it works. I did not have a photo in my sig until now.

BTW I think your car looks bad *** without the name in the window, however if you got a pro or a semi pro graphics artist to draw one for you that might change everyones tune, but I personally would not go with stang stomper. BB King named his guitar Lucille, thats a pretty normal name and it is also now famous, dont try to make a statement with your car, instead try to make it a personal thing, that will carry you a lot farther in the looks department. That hood looks kick *** though and I like the color, nice job.

LoL, I thought that would work.
Its making the reference but not actually bringing it to the page. as shown by the missing picture icon. Some other troubleshooting should make it appear but I have to go use the daylight.
Sorry Thought I could be more helpful.

Ok, here is what you do. Find your picture on the website it is posted. right click on it. Click properties. See the web address that is sitting there? The highlighted part in the image i attached? Highlight and copy that. Now go to where you make your sig. type [imgx], but with out the x. Now paste that long web address after your [imgx]. Then after the web address, type [/imgx]. And again, leave the "X" out. That should do'er, if not, give me a yell and I'll try again, aight?

OK, I worked on this awhile, I posted for some help in the help forum and they told me that this site does not allow cross linking (from another web site) so that is why mine did not work supposedly. I did use the full url:

http://www.geocites.com/lunarteq/driversidefull.jpg

That should show up as a link and you can click on it to see the link works (or paste it into your browser) and that it is a legit picture. It is also only 21 kb in size, so it is not too large.

They recommended at the help forum that I post my pictures in the readers rides and then link that to my sig.

I tried that but I kept getting a message that indicated I had two periods side by side in my file name while trying to upload it. I scoured that file name and extension and never once found a period side by side with another period. I even moved the image right to my C: drive and still the same thing.

I could not say what is wrong with your sig tomster because from what I gather your pulling from within this site.

This is very frustrating.

You had to have not put the image tags in because it worked when I posted it above. check yours again, and if you do have the tags, make sure you used brackets [] a backslash in the end tag only, "/" and didnt put any spaces in them.

It has something to do with that you are trying to host it as an attachment at TGO, and that will not work for whatever reason, samething happened to me. So you need to host it somewhere else.

mine was giving me the problem with driversidefull.gif, do I changed it to dvrsdfl.gif and then it said I could not use a gif (or maybe it was the other way around, no jpg only gif...something like that) anyway I shortened mine to 7 letters.

Hope that helps.
