Not that someone else has taken of your car. Not a nice picture of a similar car from the internet. A picture YOU took, of YOUR CAR.

(Sorry to show you guys this picture again after I already have, but I really do love this picture.)

Does it have to be our current car? Most of the good pics of my current car have been taken by others (Thanks Audi for Life and TWINTURBOBMW... )

But this is the best picture I've taken of one of my past cars.

Probably the best of the Series IIa.

Best yet of the Ranchero, and tragically one of the best I've taken of my Benz as well (don't normally photograph it).

One of my favorite pics of my old Riv, just after I painted the rear 1/4, trunk and roof. Never did get to finish the paint on it before I sold it. Did the paint myself at the local voc tech's auto body school in adult ed evening classes.

I've taken exactly two pictures of my car. In this example, a C4 is parked in front of it. So therefore, it is the best picture I've taken of my car.

I am liking how many FZJ80s are pictured on here. Not the best shots, but here are a few of mine, just to boost the LC representation even further:

I am also surprised by how many 4x4s in general there are pictured in this thread. I didn't think that there were such a high percentage of Jalops that were in to off-roading, and kinda thought that most Jalops hated SUVs.

Off roading lends itself to awesome action shots. Especially since you can park the car and get out to take the picture. Also as jalops we actually take our trucks off road. love the FJ 80 shots.

my perception is so distorted working with the 80. 33 inchers fit stock without rubbing and it takes only 2 inches to get 35's in there.

Some nutters ever jam 35's in there on stock.

Its a matter of scale I guess.

It's not really a glamorous photo but it shows what kind of workhorse the Sienna is, and I love the colors. Btw, that's Lake Michigan in the background. I was in Door County.

It's little and nimble. Power is ok, but pretty fun with the 6-speed. It's geared pretty well. It is said to have the sport suspension (SX), but sometimes it is a little stiff and bumpy. Not a really big issue.

Sadly it's not a 240SX. Basically it's this Mitsubishi Eterna:

Change the grill into an Alfa-inspired one, Replace the Mitsubishi logo with Proton and you get my car. Which is call the Proton Perdana (Proton Prime). Hey, atleast it has a 2.0 V6 engine from a Mitsubishi FTO. (technically)

For PC, in order to post the photo here you have to choose "View all sizes" from the pop-up menu under the three dots on the right side of the Flickr photo. Then you have to right-click to "View Image" to pull up the jpeg. Copy that URL then paste it into the photo viewer here.

I assume it's something similar for Mac. I haven't figured out a way to do it with an iPad yet, other than to Save the photo to your camera roll and then just use it as a stand-in under the Flickr link.
