The easiest thing to do is go to photobucket.com, and follow the directions there on how to set up your free account. Follow the simple step-by-step instructions and upload your photos to your album(s) there. Then, to post a photo here, simple copy the image URL from photobucket and paste it into your post here. Any image posted here has to have image tags at the beginning and end of the image UR, otherwise it won't show up.

With the rise in Tivo, I wonder how the networks are going to fight the trend of viewers simply skipping the commercials? After all, paid advertising is the reason for their existence. Once most people stop watching the ads, how do the networks attract advertisers? I'm glad I'm not a network exec!

That is a 1905 Panhard et Lavassor Phaeton. Sounds classy, doesn't it?

You're right about that, to an extent. As long as the person remembers WHO the ad was for! But ads can also have the unintended effect of turning off potential customers. They get annoyed by particularly lame ads and remember NOT to buy that product. Personally, "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit" is never going to get me into a Cadillac showroom.

Well, it can't get much closer than that! Half of you were fooled....and half weren't. It's a MODEL! Thanks to modelmartin for supplying the photo. ROM #7 coming MONDAY!

I remember reading an article in the "other" magazine more than 10 years ago regarding the "rebirth" of JoHan. We're still waiting.....

Oh, and as far as the "Magic Christian" song... GM is undoubtedly aiming its campaign at people way too young to ever have heard of that song or movie. Most people today under 30 or so would have no idea...

Or how about those inane Chevy ads with the snippet from "American Pie": "Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry"... What the h*** does that line have to do with selling cars? Just because the word "Chevy" is in it doesn't make it a good ad campaign! Sheesh...

If we're talking silly automotive ad campaign slogans, the new Cadillac tag line really bugs me for some reason. "Life, liberty and the pursuit". The pursuit of what??? Obviously the original line is "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"...but the way Cadillac uses the line makes no sense at all...yet some big-time agency has been paid millions for that bit of "creativity"!

The answer: photobucket.

Go to photobucket.com, and follow the step-by-step instructions to set up your own account there (it's free). Then you can upload all your pictures there, and use photobucket as your picture hosting site. To post a photo here just copy the photobucket picture URL and paste it in your post(s) here.

You really didn't think I'd make it that easy, did you???

Try photobucket instead. Easy, user-friendly, and free

I think you need one of these...

Ya gotta love a guy who's willing to play hurt!!! Rock on, woodie...

You must be a big fan of the 62 Valiant!

You got it, Bob! Now, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, start hacking at that front end and lay it back like in the illustration...

Get yourself a Magnum kit and chop off everything from the base of the windshield forward. Take your 300 and chop off everything from the base of the windshield back. Take the 300 front and the Magnum rear and build this:

Now if someone would PLEEEEEZ fix the front end!

I think Keith has one too...but he calls his "Sweet Virginia"...

I was abducted by aliens. When I awoke, I found myself here. Don't know why... :ph34r:

The missing underhood structure is done: This will all be painted body color.

One of the single best sites for good, clear reference photos of all types of engines is right here: http://public.fotki.com/wackydave/cars_-_v...themes/engines/

What do you think of this one? The answer: MODEL!

That was "drawn" in Photoshop. I've been using PS for about 15 years or so...and before that, many years of traditional airbrushed illustration (with many spills and clogged spray tips!)
