Hit reply like you usually would. Above the text box are optional boxes; far right is for loading a picture. Click there when/where you are wanting to post the pic.
Choose from device, documents, gallery, find and load it. Done.
I hit 75,000 kilometers last year:

It has an older Pfadt coilover system. Unfortunately my entrance to the garage didn't like the drop so I had to crank them up a little bit. Still looks ok just not quiet as menacing.

My favorite parking spot. Always have to be at the top even if there are plenty of spaces on the lower levels

I look forward to driving my Z06 every weekend since I got it new in 2004.
I don't have time to drive it Mon-Fri.

I love it even more now that I got it set up like I prefer.

I only took 12 years for me to set it up like his. haha
