You can post your pictures on your CarSpace page and then use the automatically generated text to display them here.
Yeah, right I fiddled around once before trying to get that to work with no success  . I hope you feel guilty for having deprived all of that hilarious (if I do say so myself) Tardis post and photo  .
Okay, I'll try again, your way...
the Backy's go for a test drive of the new Tardis:

And looky, looky! It magically fits in the given space and doesn't screw up reading the page for everyone else!! 
Thanks for reposting that!!

We did actually look at the Tardis, but the fuel economy wasn't too good, and everywhere we went on the test drive there seemed to be some kind of major drama or even disaster happening. We also looked at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome (seats were not comfortable enough, and it smelled like hot dogs inside), the Mall of America (noise levels too high, but very roomy), and a Mustang (the Hot Wheels version--nice paint joib, and a good price at the local Walgreens, just 79 cents plus tax, but really tight inside).

And just think of all the extra room you'd have for all your other stuff in the garage!

Sounds like my folks - test drove a WIDE variety of vehicles trying to decide what they wanted. Hyundai Accent, VeraCruz, Chevrolet Impala, Honda Civic, Ford Taurus, Scion xD, Nissan Versa. Got a Taurus. If you don't know what KIND you want, you don't just decide to narrow yourself to only one category. THAT'S how you lead yourself to choosing the right car. The more you drive the more tightly you can narrow your preferences by process of elimination.

Who needs that, I can get enough of that at home. BTW, was the large inside/compact outside an XB...that is what comes to my mind, when thinking of the largest volume in the smallest package.
I bet big rebates will be coming on the metrodome, I hear nobody wants one and a redesigned model is coming soon.

I'm sure they could have narrowed it down between the Accent (entry level car) and a Taurus (large car) without actually test driving both. The differeces are obvious.

The xB is pretty roomy for its size, yes But not as roomy (or as good looking!) as what I drove the other day. The xB is one of a very short list of cars that I would not buy based on looks alone--no matter how roomy it is.

They were used cars, but my kid recently considered a Crown Vic Police Interceptor followed by an Accent.

LOL!! Back in 2006, I had narrowed it down to the two cars I would have really liked to have parked in my driveway. Talk about cross-shopping, It was between an Acura TL and a Lexus RX350. I ended up with the Lexus.
