What you're seeing is a thumbnail of a picture, because it was attached to the post.
If you post a picture through a link as opposed to attaching it, it will post at it's original dimensions, up to a certain size. After that it gets resized smaller to fit the thread.

I posted a link a couple of pages back. It's an auto-x course setup to test the FR-S and all other models. You have to pre register.
Sadly, I can't make it to this event. My dog has developed a habit of going into the neighbors yard (under the fence) so I have to spend Sunday laying down very large rocks around my yard...

It's an autocross event with the FR-S and other Scion models hosted by Scion at the Dick's Sporting Goods Field. You have to be 21 or older to drive, but I believe anyone can ride along. I'm not sure if Scion owners can drive their personal cars.

Big decision for me, hopefully fun for you. I've narrowed my search to two 2008 xBs with manual transmissions. Both sound to be in excellent condition. Both owned by auto industry execs and both claimed to be meticulously maintained. Which one would you want?
Gold Mica RS5, 32k miles, standard everything (sunroof, gold interior trim etc.) except 19" TRD wheels, driven on salt roads in winter.
Blackberry Crush, 58k miles, full TRD suspension including 19" wheels, TRD exhaust, color matched spoiler, upgraded factory stereo (but not Navi), fog lights, White tail lights, minor scuff on one front fender (he's sending me photo so don't know how bad)), California car, $1100 less

My concern is nearly double the miles for a savings of 1100? I'd be more inclined to check out the 32k one.
For the record, that's why I bought a new one. The price difference on used vs new was so minimal, I would rather have 11 miles than 50k.

Where is the GRM? How far would it have to travel to get here? Also it depends on the condition of both cars. A minor scuff could still cost 600-1000 to fix if they do the whole panel. I like both colors but the BPC one seems a little more complete. Again, it all depends on what you wanna do with it and how far you wanna go to get your car.

Shadezz and I were talking about doing a night shoot. There is a parking garage down here that is usually vacant at night. It's at Parker road and I-225.

Waiting for more replies before giving my thoughts. Just wanted opinions based on equipment and miles but the Gold Rush is in Ohio and the Blackberry is in California. Will fly out for either one.
