My dog's birthday was last week, can his cake be in it too? Its in the shape of a fire hydrant but it would look pretty cool

Only if you can provide me with the high resolution original.

Isn't that what is at the top of the page.

No different than Mary's pic of his / her birthday cake.

Yeah if Sally's cake gets in with that resolution i want in too. She shouldn't get special treatment

No, that image is 72ppi screen res, not fit for printing.

This is why I asked Ilan to find and keep the high-res version for the calendar...

Ilan gets special treatment because he actually took his picture, and can prove it with a high-res image.

See that? I'm special!

Everyone gets to be special on their birthday.

Lick- Lick

What is wrong with you people.

Have I entered the Twilight Zone, or what. This all way to bizarre for me, sorry.

It's not bizarre, it's just the reality that you can't print screen-res images on paper and have it look good. Forgive me for wanting our calendar to look nice.

The full size image is 2832 X 2128 pixels. If I posted an image that size on this forum, half of all your computers would explode. I'm nice like that.

Got my last round of pics today before delivering the car. It's been one hell of a ride, and the buyers are true Buick fanatics. I forget what years exactly but they have a '37, a '49, a '50-something, and a '23 Buick. They also have a '92 Riv, a '95 Roadmaster, and my '95 Riv now.

ya see,that's what i mean. the riv lets you dress anyway u want.baggy,proper,anything.now that you've gone jap,u cut yer hair,you'll have to shop at the Gap,and..you'll have to find a cute little Asian chickl. see...your whole life has changed on account of a car. and remember,the cuter the Asian chick,the more money you'll have to spend,oh well,i guess the gas savings alone will permit your new lifestyle.good luck!

what made you wanna cut your hair?

Lots of reasons for the haircut(did that in December), but I like it much better this way.


To everyone doubting my love for the Riviera, my Riviera, and all the history behind that (-R-) marque: if I didn't love my car then would I have taken a picture of it like this?

wow ,that`s a great photo,sadly only a few people outside the Riv-world know what that is.

what kind of camera did you use?

almost any camera now days can take pictures like that, just use macro mode. judging by the quality it seems like a point and shoot.

yur right. i have a basic hp m547.it dont have micro mode but it has other functions that i have not the talent to exploit...

It's just a point and shoot Kodak V610, but I loved this car so much that I decided to go out and look for the best angles to take pictures of it. Don't question for a second that I was dedicated to that car.

I just can't resist... When are you going to add portholes to the Honda?

(But in my defense, I liked the long hair...)

The Honda won't get anything but a window tint and a clutch in a few years. Possibly black bezel OEM headlights but that's all.

but how will you go to Honda designwise .The Riv is so much superior by design .....................

The Riv is a much prettier car, but the Honda has nice clean lines. It's not overdone like today's Japanese cars, and it's not boring like earlier ones(or any Toyota ever made). It's at the sweet spot in the middle where, just like the Riv, the design will look clean and new 15 years later.

Please don't ever compare the classy, sporty design of the Riv to that yellow rollerskate.......

I didn't compare them. I said the Buick is much prettier and the Honda has clean lines.

Yeah, I don't think you should press the styling, Ilan... Just go with the economy and practicality.
