So, 3 steps:
Step 1, make an image of it. I'll give you the quick and less easy way, then the longer and easier way. (I'll assume you're using Windows)
quick and less easy: Press the print screen (PrtSc or PrtScr) button on your keyboard. This will put a copy of your entire screen in the copy/paste buffer. Now, open up MS Paint, and press CTRL-V to put the screen shot into an image file. You'll want to cut it down from the entire screen to just what you're interested in - pick the zig-zag looking tool on the left, then re-pick the box looking tool. Drag the box over the area you want to save, then hit CTRL-C (copy). Press CTRL-Z (undo) to make the entire screen shot disappear, then CTRL-V (paste) again to put in your smaller boxed area. Now, save the file as a jpg with some reasonable file name to a place where you can find it again.
longer but easier: Download and install the free Gadwin Printscreen program. Once installed, you can hit the print screen button, pick the region you want to see, then save it strait to a file. No muss, no fuss.
Step 2: Upload it somewhere on the Web. The best place is over in the Thing Gallery - just like you did the pic of your car.
Step 3: Get the link, then include it in a message. If you look at the resulting image in the page in the gallery, you'll see that it gives you the link to the actual image right at the top of the page. It ends in jpg. Select the link and press CTRL-C (copy), create a new reply in this thread, then push the Img button at the top of the reply text box. It'll put a [img] tag in the text. Press CTRL-V (paste) to paste the URL. Finally, press the Img* button again to put the closing [/img] on the URL. Preview, then submit! _________________ VW-181 shirts and stickers.

Okay so i put the "zoom" tube on the car. Its a little obnoxious, kind of like glasspacks on an impala but it works. It also provides a very small amount of back pressure and its almost unnoticeable. I'll be working on the pics tonight while im at work. Iam trying a program on the internet you guys posted. I can't upload anything onto my work computer. Skrzny _________________ ...70 type 181

When I first picked up the "Zoom" tube I noticed it was quite heavy and wondered if it would hold up at the exhaust inlets. It works fine on the road but lasts only 1 and 1/2 miles offroad. I took my 181 to the back of Lake pleasant here in AZ to go fishing. It performed quite well offroad and better than i expected when i got it stuck in halfway dried mud bogging tracks.
The tracks were well over a foot deep and a half deep and not completely dry. It was the late at night so i lost the road while making it back. We got stuck when the tracks crossed us first the front tires then the back. i gave it a little rev to pick up the rpms and amazingly climbed out of them im sure with the help of the reduction boxes. (forgot to add i have plain street tires)
I didn't think there was much of a chance of getting out since we were pretty much scraping the bottom of the pan but it still came out. I was out with my friend and he was driving his rubicon so it wouldn't have been a big deal if we got stuck.
And the fishing was good but only for one of us. He caught 5 bass and a large catfish. It was still a good trip. Its pretty rare that we get skunked. I spent most of my time keeping my dog from jumping in the water scaring the fish away. oh well
Also with this exhaust pipe, i have had no problems what so ever with exhaust fumes circulating in the car anymore. _________________ ...70 type 181
