Guess that makes me doubly blessed. I still have my SS and recently acquired FRC.

175K and looking a little weary on the outside but the heartbeat is strong!



I keep telling myself that she deserves another day in the sun with some extra TLC but she's still pulling DD duties for now.



They both share the garage at night though.




Looking forward to your pics, and what color was your 95 SS?

Assuming you have a photo-bucket account and have the pictures stored there...

Go to the picture you want to use
Put the courser on that picture and there will be 4 options
You will want the last option IMG Code
Put the courser on the IMG Code box and left click
With the left click it will say "copied"
Then go to the site that you want to enter your "copied" image and right click
A window will open with the right click and one of the options will be "paste"
Click on "paste" and you image will be entered and your done!


But I don't know were to put the diesel in on a Chinook,,,, they do run on diesel , right..?

No need to host pics elsewhere.

Instead of the "quick reply" option, use "Go Advanced." Scroll down to the 2nd part of the Additional Options block and hit "Manage Attachments." Use the "Choose File" buttons to browse to the pics and then hit "Upload" when you're done.

Hit the "Preview Post" button to see what your post will look like and once you're satisfied with the content, hit "Submit Reply."

I tried your suggestion and when I hit go advanced I see additional options block, but no manage attachments or choose file. Maybe you have to have some different settings somewhere to see those options???

Congrats on getting a C5 - and a pewter one is a great choice.

Sign up for a photobucket.com or tinypic.com account to host your pics and then you can post them up here.

I know what you mean. I miss my 96 Impala also (but I still have a 96 Caprice with mods). I also know what you mean and agree that a Pewter C5 is a great choice.

96 Impala


Current 99 FRC

Great looking car,,and as a little bonus,,you can actually drive it as pewter is the easiest color to keep clean!! It has to get pretty dirty before it shows!!
