it looks like those pictures were saved small and then someone tried to resize them larger
That will cause the pictures to look digital and distored like that
If you are savibng full size high res pictures onto photobucket w/out editing you can set your setting to automatically resize them for you to fit whatever sort of screen you have
15" screen is usually 800x600
thats usually the standerd size
I usually save all my pictures after editing them on PS with tinypic.com and they have the same qulity.
I say send the full size pictures to my email account and I'll fix and save them

well...i'll start by saying that the last time i lend out my vehicle to a family member 
back story:
about 2 years ago my wife drove the Land Cruiser until the rear brake pad wore into the rotor...guy on http://www.vadriven.com hooked me up with Akebono ceramic pads all around and Brembo blanks for the rear...i ended up having to replace the caliper also
...i vowed that this wasn't going to happen again
present:
last Saturday my uncle came over and helped us move some stuff out of the house and into our portable storage at the house...apparently he came with the asumption that we were going to let him use the Land Cruiser since his car was in the shop and he had to give my mom back her car...since he helped us we let him use it...well my wife goes and gets the Land Cruiser and leaves her car with him so we could go get a trailer to get some furniture (our house caught fire and we're in an empty apartment until it's renovated)...well i back up and hit the brakes as i come to a stop sign...well low and behold i hear a god awful grinding sound
...come to find out that in the weeks time that he's had it the brake pads had worn down (wasn't making any noise last week and i had ment to check them after towing that trailer) to the rotors...i mean there are deep grooves in it
i'm going to have to replace the front rotors now
i called him to let him know what happened and to tell him we're coming to get our car tomorrow from him and he acts nonchalaunt (sp)
i mean, he had to have heard it start making, but he kept driving it...i mean, simple courtesy when driving someone else vehicle...if you borrow someones car and it starts making noises while you're driving it, call them and let them know...money's tight right now since our house caught fire and fixing the Land Cruiser isn't cheap...people were always looking to us to borrow our car since we had 4 (now 3) but this is the last time i lend out a car, to anyone...w/o a $300 deposit...i don't care if they do get mad, that's just uncalled for

why not just follow what it says in the first post in this thread? post a link to the thread and a pic of your car and if they want you in this "club" if that's what it is...then they'll let you know...post an update of your car as it comes along and they'll decide...i stopped caring...but post here anyway

I had that happen once to my first car but there is no way in hell you can drive like that w/pit npticing it when it first startes cuz it souds like a plane is landing behind you everytime you stop
but that sucks
