Welcome to CO. What a providential experience to find your car so close to home like that, that is really cool. Keep us updated on your progress and don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it.

By the way, thanks for your service.

pics 101

When you reply make sure you are in “Advanced” If it says post a “Quick reply” hit “Advanced”

Scroll down below the box you type in and hit “Manage Attachments” A new box will pop up.

Hit “Browse”

The hit “Upload” and wait a few secs for the pics to up load. Then close this box.
Next you can hit “Preview Post and your pictures should be there.

There is a size limit on pics

Welcome, thanks for your service.

I think the 71's are catching up to the 69's though Jamesbo won't admit it.
