But come up next weekend just to hang out! We have some cool drives too.

You could do a clinic!

I'll even clean up the garage some.

So some time around October... 2021?

brought my dog to work today. other people bring their kids all the time so I figured it was ok since no one can get the flu or some other air born grade school pathogen from a dog.

but srsly, dropping her off at her nanny's house for our vacation next week. her older dog(15 years) died a couple of weeks ago so she's pretty broken up about it and asked if I could bring her early. not like I could say no if I wanted to.

Oh man, I can't drive up on the 4th, I'm booked that night. I forgot it is the annual fund raiser car show at my son's vocational school. He is so looking forward to me entering the Lotus in the show.

Must come up with plan B.

"Maybe soon"? It literally takes under 60 seconds to upload a photo and copy the URL to the clipboard. It's not a huge undertaking and time consuming project.

You have to get flames painted on it first though.

No kidding. It's going to be hot rods and muscle cars and one little British car.

Don't rush me, I'll jump in when I'm ready.

My first car show with mine was in a small town show that they do every year. It is a huge deal where they shut down the whole main street. Generally attracts between 300 and 350 cars. Of course most of these are classics, hotrods and muscle but there is usually a few newer cars as well. Keep in mind that Scion only came to Canada in 2011 and the closest dealer to that town just started selling them in 2012 so many people had never even heard of the brand much less the FRS. I had a blast watching people try to figure out what the hell it was and why it had both Toyota and Subaru written all over the engine bay. Most thought it was some high end exotic and even argued with me when I told them what it actually cost. It can be fun to be the odd man out at those events.

LOL Imgur is one of the three things blocked at a corporate level that I can not override so all Imgur pics to me are just a black box with an X. I have to go to my phone to see any pics from there.

Why go to all that trouble when you can just load it to the forum directly? All you have to do is resize it.

Plus, imgur is an issue for some. Most web filtering considers it a file sharing site so it gets blocked for a lot of corporate type users.

EDIT: Ugm what @Tcoat said...

I control the keys to what is blocked here and its blocked even for me.

I was only suggesting it to Sapphire because he said he was having trouble uploading pics using the attachment method. I think it's probably due to the size of the files that he's trying to upload. Whenever he posts a pic using the attachment method, it's pixelated, which tells me that whatever method he's using to resize it is killing the clarity of the image.
