    Ok, I've got several great photos...but the files are too big?

    Ok... if you're using Windows XP, just right click the file and click "edit"... that should open up "paint". Now just select the "image" tab at the top, and then select "stretch/skew"... then pick a number less than 100 and just shrink the vertical aspect and the horizontal aspect of the picture by the same amount... then hit "save as" to save it as a new file so the originial picture is preserved... make sure you save the revised pic as a JPEG.

    Now the picture will take up much less memory. Try to attach the new picture.

    Wow...

    All I can say is WOW!

    Was that front grill re-painted black? Gee, I need to re-finish mine because it doesn't look like that!!!

    How many miles have you put on her thus far?

    As far as I know, no repaint anywhere. The car had <7K miles on it when I bought it, verifiable. It looks near perfect - no scratches, dings, etc. I'm thrilled. I've driven it about 250 miles since I got it. Pity, I got it on a Friday, had Sat/Sun with it, and then went on vacation and biz travel for the next two weeks. Really only had a chance to play over this past T-giving weekend. Getting to know it is a fun dance! Into Bobileff's shop here in SD tomorrow for fluids, filters, smog, plugs, etc....just general stuff to get a fresh start with it. Pretty cool, eh?

    Nice.

    No "Check Engine" lights I hope... if so, don't let that scare you.

    ...at all, 'cept the ones I turn on. So far, so good. But I'm aware of the 348's propensity to show me a few lights on its own. My time will come. Now for some fresh floor mats and some different wheels....

    Looks great! Enjoy!

    But the 246 in your name is confusing me. :)

    When I first started my search, I liked the looks and the pricing of the Dino's. But this board really helped me find out that a 348 Spider was probably a better and more realistic choice for me. So I signed up with 246, but after some education, chose the 348. This board and the people here have been very helpful!
