Trying to post a picture


Edit:

Hey everybody I am sorry to subject you to such a long learning curve on the picture posting thing. I of course realize this is the wrong forum for the subject. Don't feel to bad, I started in the girlfriends thread. There were pics there and I was trying to learn "how to". Honest.

The procedure is still vague but its coming to me.

Anyway, top speed is limited by the ECU at 151 mph in my car. It was no problem getting there. Still pulling strong when the gov stepped in.

?

I would like to do that. Or any other place. The problem is posting a picture period. It must be simple but not for me for whatever reason.

Are there any slow simple step by step directions somewhere? Not the cryptic stuff with secret termenology (parse, vB, etc.). Simple 1,2,3 for simple people?

Frustrated.

Cruise?

In my car the cruise will set up to 95. The factory also states top speed is 145. As you can see, the numbers are different on the dash. Maybe the speedo error reported by others is correct - the 5 mph high error.

Once you set cruise the light doesn't go off if you exceed that speed. Your smily face tells me you already know this.

So I am cruising in 6th gear at 85. Alsolutely no traffic in site on a very long straight road. The car is strong and stable. A strange power causes my right foot to press the accelerator to the floor. There is the sensation of rapid acceleration. A few seconds later, there is a slight bouncing sensation; it's the speed limiter bumping off 151 mph. Still very stable and suprizingly quite. In shock , I back off. The car settles back to 85 with no fuss.

After thinking about what happened and still no cars in site, I asked my rider to take a digital of the dash when we did it again. You don't want to be looking at the dash at 151 mph. So up we go and she clicks the pic. The cruise is of course on all this time, set at 85.

Later we take a couple of info pictures. There was actually one lone car besides us we got in the photo. We were cruising at that time.

True story. Kids, don't try this at home. Professional driver on safe course.

RPM Light

The device is an audio-visual indicator between the 4 and 5 K marks on the tach. Just above the needle axis. You probably know it is adjustable using the dial **** on the left side. Mine is set at 6700 rpm because the engine accelerates so quickly it is redlined if I start to shift at that number anyway, so that way there is no governor drop off between shifts.

You guys probably can shift faster and would set it higher.
