Surely someone else has their car as a desktop background on their computer! Right?
The image looks a lot better on the computer than it does it this picture.

Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Port St. Lucie FL Posts: 1,746 | I had my tC on my background... but the picture wasn't cool, it was just a front shot in my driveway. BORING! It's been replaced by a pic of a grey EVO MR running on the nurburg ring. made it in GT4
and btw, your protege needs a drop badly. It looks jacked up like a truck

Step by step instructions:
1. Press CTRL-Prt Scr to capture the desktop to the clipboard
2. Paste the image into your favorite image editing program (I'll use paint for this example)
3. Resize the image (in Paint, it is Image - Stretch/Skew, then specify the new size. I used 50% for both horizontal and vertical stretch. Since my desktop is 1600x1200, this gave me an 800x600 picture)
4. Save the picture as a JPG
5. Upload as normal
Here's my desktop  | |

Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: Orange County, CA Posts: 115 | Thanks. Thats an older picture of my current daily driver/project car. Windows have been tinted, new wheels/tires on order. New springs ready to be installed once I get the new wheels on and know how much I can drop it. | |
