[quote=Thyodin;2671855]Hmmm, I can't see it now either, but they block almost everything on the net here at work. I promise it was working last night when I posted it. Where do you guys host them to link to them?[/quote
I know nothing about "hosting" did you attach them through browsing your computer? Other than that I have no clue :( shucks...

Kiki, I LOVE pic #2!!! I'd have to agree - you have a thing for cabrios!

Only drawback is that a.) your photo is on the web (so make sure you use a site that is protected or the user agreements provide security) and b.) if you ever move the photo within your "album" online, or delete the account, the photo you put here on this thread will come up with the red Xs.

As for crazy hair from the teen years, I have tried to destroy those pictures over the years. I do however remember the Toni Perm years when Mom permed just the ends when I had semi short hair. I looked like Princess Lea before anyone knew what Star Wars was. I think George Lucas must have been at my summer camp that year, because I swear to gosh he stole my look! You don't need a picture to figure that one out. @(-_-)@
After hours & hours of searching & fighting with my scanner, here is what is so far the oldest picture of me. It was taken in 1990. I have older, somewhere, I think. I know they made cameras back then. But that's going to take a bit more searching.

What am I doing wrong?
I have the photo on photobucket, I copy the stuff for "forums and bulletin boards" and come over here and paste it in to the "insert image" thingy, and when I go to preview or post the image isn't there! Ugh!

Haha,
I'm getting a "Justa". I was mostly looking for something fun and fuel-efficient since I have a lot of road trips planned (family and friends on both coasts, as well as North and South). I've had a fast car before ('06 350z), and found out driving a fast car slow in town is even less fun than driving a slow car slow and once I'm on the highway I don't even notice the power, so I decided against the "S".
But, here goes:
Manual MC with British Racing Green/White roof and White hood stripes, Premium and Cold-Weather packages, Xenons with Front+Rear fog lights, factory armrest (I know I'm in the minority of people who like it), white turn signals, and that's really it. I was trying to keep the price low so I can invest more money in fixing up my house.
I'm a fairly recent convert to the new MINI fan club. I liked the look of them but always thought (before I looked into them) that they were expensive and not particularly fuel efficient. I started looking at new cars the middle of last year and was interested in a compact car I could fit comfortably in (I'm 6'3"), and the more I looked the more I kept coming back to the Mini. When I found out the new engine design gave the Justas maneagable performance and stellar gas mileage I decided to go ahead and see them in person. After I test drove one I was hooked! I set the end of February as my order date because I get my Bonus then, and it doesn't really get nice here till mid to late April, so this way It'll get here just in time for spring! Yay Spring!

Good call on the fog lights.
I didn't think I would need them and now I'm wishing I had them.

Never mind the dumb question MCWill, i just figured out what you did... you used your mouse pad as a back drop.... duh, it took me a minute to catch on... it's the cold i'm fighting fogging my mind!
So a "ladies man" in 3rd grade??!!! You have those eyes!!

The mousepad was part of my MINI Welcome Kit; didn't you get one too?I wish MINI/mini was always in my life. The first small car my parents got was an old Honda off my grandpa (one of the first little Japanese cars we'd ever seen), followed by a Chevette. If only they had found a way to get a mini....

I'm so happy I have blue eyes. Some of the blue shirts I wear really make them pop. My father and sister also have blue eyes; my mother and brother have what we like to refer to as "sh*tty brown eyes."
I find using the "direct link" html works best. (Holy crap - i almost sound like I know what the HE@@ I'm talking about!) But I see you've now been successful! Unfortunately, I can't see your photo until I get home. DARN ARMY WEBSENSORS!!!

Other than disagreeing with you on the armrest, your new MINI sounds awesome and I approve of your choices! Congrats! If you can make use of the armrest, I'm sure you will find it comfortable. I do like the squishy top, I would like it if it were located in a place where I could actually make use of it.

And I argued with myself a bit about the fog lights, but driving through fog is no fun and I wanted all the help I could get if I was somewhere unfamiliar at night in the fog.

The armrest was actually ideally placed for me since the first thing I do before getting in the car is put the seat all the way back till it touches the rear seat. When you do that the armrest is right where your arm goes.

I don't think you will regret the choice of getting the fog lights at all because when you need them, you'll have them. It's been foggy here since yesterday evening and I really wish I had them right now.
