http://https://ecomodder.com/forum/a...1&d=1645556105Hi there everyone! I’ve actually been a member here for about 14 years, but i haven’t been active in about a decade. When i first signed up here i was a poor college kid with a 4cyl ranger. After i got a good paying job i was less concerned about saving money on gas and i pretty much just used the fuel log to keep track of my mileage. So to get to my current situation, I’m now married with a mortgage and a step daughter, and saving every penny counts. My wife and i ordered a hybrid Ford maverick in October as our new family truckster, but it won’t be in until summer. The dealership told us they could give us $8k for her equinox (which she hated) which was also what we owed on it. We ended up selling it to Carmax for $13,000, which was $2000 more than she paid for it 4 years ago! We pocketed $5,000 but that left us a vehicle down. She works at the end of our street and only really drives to go grocery shopping once or twice a week. We figured the best option was for her to drive my Silverado 1500 and i go buy a “beater” that i could resell once the maverick comes in. Well i found myself a 2003 civic ex with a 5sp, that’s amazingly clean for being a car from the rust belt. The problem is that i absolutely love it, and it’s sucked me right back into ecomodding. My first tank was terrible- only 29mpg, but I’ve found myself doing things such as coasting downhill in neutral and early shifting, stuff i haven’t done for ten years or so. Also the car came with a full tank and i think it just had 87 in it. I filled it back up with 89 and it seems to have more miles in reference to the gas gauge compared to last tank, i guess I’ll find out next fill up. It also came with the dish hubcaps. I’m planning on an upper grill block, rear wheel skirts, and a small front air dam for now. Just incase i do decide to sell it, i want everything reversible. If i decide to keep it, I’d like to swap to a dx or lx transmission (for better gearing) and i could also delete the entire ac system and convert it to manual steering. Anyways, i hope the picture works. I’ll be sure to post more as i go. If i can get the car to 40mpg I’d be very happy.

Edit- i have no idea how to add a photo properly. The first one uploaded upside down, so i uploaded an already upside down photo thinking it would flip it back over and it did not. Can anyone help me with that?

When I saw the pictures I thought you were Down Under. :)

At the bottom of each page it says Powered by vBulletin® Version 3.8.11. There's your problem.
Usually the rotation is 90°.

How about Moon disks on the front?

Oh so i need to download vbulletin? I’m not sure if i can do that on my iPhone but I’ll try.

You can't.

vBulletin is the backend to the site. The most you could is join/start a thread in ecomodder.com/forum/forum-news-feedback and lodge a complaint.

Ahh ok well I’ll try to find an image hosting site or something then. Modding my car won’t be as fun if i can’t post pictures of it lol

I wouldn't give in. ecomodder.com/forum/showthread.php/how-post-pictures-ecomodder-so-they-never-die Isn't about that particularly, but it might be helpful. I think the Ecomodder albums are best, then attachments, then external sites.

Here's a random rotated pic from one of my albums: The thumbnail is rotated, but it displays correctly in a post

What are ya gonna do?

Thank you, freebeard. I followed the instructions and it worked, except the picture was still upside down. And i tried both a normal picture and a picture i flipped upside down on my camera roll. I think it’s an iPhone thing, i don’t own an actual computer. I read online that it wouldn’t do it if i took the picture with my phone horizontally, so I’ll try that tomorrow. Thank you for your help.

Haha figured it out! Have to take pictures with my phone sideways with the volume buttons facing down. Anyways, this is my car. Found some materials to make a grill block out of in the garbage at work, hopefully I’ll have time to do that tomorrow.
