Allright, how do I scale the pics so they are not so big?

What image editing software do you have? Photoshop? Anything else? Or just "Paint" that comes with windows?

Nice size!
Use paint, sketch and whatever and drop to 50%
p.s. how does the car handle? Is there a cup holder? How long did they let you test drive it? |

Here's how to do it in "Paint", but Paint only works on ".bmp" files, so you'd need to use another program
to convert from .jpg to .bmp, resize in Paint, then convert back from .bmp to .jpg.

Open the image file in Paint.
Click on "Image", then "Stretch/Skew...".
Under "Stretch", it should show 100% in both fields.
Enter 25% (or whatever) in place of both 100%s (use the same number in both fields to avoid distorting the image).
If you want to, click "Image", then "Attributes" to see how big the image will be.
Click "Edit", then "Save" or "Save As..." when you're done resizing. |
-or-
In Photoshop, you'd open the image file, click "Image" then "Image Size" at top, ensure that "Constrain Proportions"
and "Resample Image" are checked, then under "Pixel Dimensions" change the width or height (whichever is
larger) to something in the 650-800 range (the other proportion will change automatically as long as
"Constrain Proportions" is checked).
Click "OK" to complete the resize, then at top click "File", then "Save As", change the name or leave it alone, then
click "Save". Photoshop works with several file types including .jpg, so no need to convert the file type back and forth.
-or-
In Kodak "Imaging for Windows", you'd open the image file, at top click "Page Properties", then "Resolution".
Change "200x200" to "75x75" (or select "Custom" to use any number (but use the same number for both dimensions)).
-Then "OK" to resize, then "File", then "Save As", etc. "Imaging" works with .jpg files, so again no need to convert
the file type.

nice...looks like an amazing car
although to be honest, much as i love the 924 and as rare as that one is, I would have a hard time putting down $250,000 for a 924....if i were going to invest that much in a single car, I think I'd rather have a ferrari (or maybe a lamborghini...those cars are terribly impractical, but so hot)

Yea but this little hottie here would smoke the crap out of any $ 250.000 Ferrari or Lambo...the truth is the GTR was designed for practical purposes..not cosmetics and stuff...it is a strictly race car...if i had that money...i'd probably buy a house and a 944 Turbo S

Great pics! The front end IC opening really is enormous. Too bad they wouldn't let you pop the hood

If you're running XP this is a great free download from Bill:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/learnmore/tips/eschelman2.mspx
After installing this, all you do is right click on any picture and pick "resize".

well, yes it was designed to be a racecar, but it certainly wouldn't smoke the crap out of a $250,000 ferrari...360 modena can easily hang with it for roughly half the price. Not to mention 360 Challenge Stradale or 430, both of which can be had for much less than a quarter mil...If I absolutely had to spend that kind of money on a porsche, I'd definitely get the Ruf 911 turbo in the April issue of Excellence....0-60 in 3.3 and a top speed of 217mph

Yeah but it can smoke a 1981 Ferrari anything.
