    Thank you!

    First order of business when I pick her up is to fix the oxidized headlights. That was pretty much the only thing wrong with her. It did have some rust on the undercarriage, but it was decent for being in New England its whole life.

    Great to hear! Don't think I need to welcome you to the madness, as you've had it for a few months already!

    Hey, congratulations FINALLY!!

    There are some good recommendations here on what's best for polishing out the headlights. Give a shout out if you haven't already found them. Just remember to be super careful around the headlight "horns" that stick up and throw down a couple-three layers of masking tape on the paint & cladding so you don't sand off something important (like the paint!)

    I'm glad you finally found the right one. I never mentioned this before, but I was up in your backyard with my VX back in October '03. I was up on Mount Washington for two days taking lots of pics.

    A clear day on the mountain is the ultimate photo op for your new VX!

    Lets see those pics!

    As for pics, I've invested all my money into getting the rig. Now I have none to donate to be able to post pics. If you guys want I can post links to my Hummer forum where I have posted some pics of my new girl. LOL!

    This should work, although I don't know how many you can do as a site supporter vs. non site supporter:

    HOW TO UPLOAD PICS TO YOUR GALLERY

    ~Click on "Gallery" in the blue header above

    ~Then click "Gallery Links" from the same blue header

    ~In that drop down box you should see, second from the bottom..."Upload photos" - Click that.

    ~Then it will let you select 5 pics (one at a time) from your computer. Click on "Choose File" and find the pic you want. If they're really big megapixels, I've found it bombs out if I do more than 2 at a time. So I'd hit "Upload/submit" after those 2, then just do a few at a time.

    ~If they're smaller files, you can do all 5 at once.

    ~Sometimes, after it's done uploading your pics, it will show another screen where you have to click at the bottom of screen..."Process".

    HOW TO ATTACH PICS TO A POST & HOW TO EDIT AND ADD PICS TO A POST

    ~Start a post

    ~On right side -> it says "My Pics"...click Open

    ~A new window opens with your pics. At the top of the window there's a a blue header with a drop down box for selecting what size/type attachment...select "Original Image"...it will make the full size pic appear in post.

    ~You can put up to 20 pics in a single post.

    ~Separate each pic by a RETURN/ENTER or sometimes they'll end up just displaying left to right, instead of scrolling down....drives some of our members crazy to scroll sideways..

    ~You can go back to your post and delete your current attached pics....
    ~and edit it to attach the full size pics:
    ~hit EDIT
    ~then "Go advanced"
    ~then "My Pics"
    ~Make sure it's "original Image"
    ~select your pics by clicking on them.
