First new car/truck I have purchased since the 80's :)

I spaced the h to keep from showing the large pics in the post :)

1. Well, that wasn't easy, even after I finally found it, LOL!
But I got them to work for me! What a beautiful truck! I love the bright red color and the lines and the shine is nearly blinding! No wonder you're proud of it!
:loveya:

And I understand, now, the reason behind your change in screen name!:D

I have a new car, myself, the first I have had since the '80s, as well. I've had it since September. I never dreamed that I could have the same kind of affection for a new vehicle as I had for my vintage ones (1971 Plymouth Duster, slant six and 1977 Dodge Diplomat, cop car), but I find myself smiling when I just look at it. It really is very pretty, aerodynamic and everyone describes it as "sporty." I really ought to get it washed and waxed (pollen here makes keeping it clean an ongoing struggle) and take a few pix, as well!:D

And the links worked for me, after I put them back together and pasted them in my browser window. I am hardly an expert, and don't understand exactly how or why this works, but, at first, they were too large, as you said, then shrank to viewable size.:shrug:

Thanks for sharing! I know how you feel!:hi:

2. Thank you
And get some pix up :)

Your browser simply made them easy to see, if you hold your cursor just on the lower right of pics like that, you will see a little box pop up, click it and the pic goes full size.

Links when joined post the entire image, hard to view for people with small monitors or dialup :)

3. It really is a beautiful vehicle. And I saw every angle of it, LOL!
And I'm hardly making fun of you! When I got my '71 Duster completely redone, back in the '80s, I did the exact same thing! (I wish I could put my hands on those pix. *sigh*)

And what happened with your pix was they were the right size, after first appearing too big for only a second. :shrug: They were fine if I just left them alone, but became too big, again, if I touched that little compass in the lower right corner.:shrug: I could get them so I could view them, but there my expertise ends, obviously!
:dunce:

And I'll try to get some pix of my lovely car. It's nothing exceptional, just a Pontiac, but I think it's pretty special, love the way it rides and how it looks. And anyone here would recognize a kindred spirit, if they ever happened to run across my car, because of the bumper stickers on the back.:D
