File size? PP is already re-sizing from 1024 to 800x600.... The messed up pix are about 18KB - tiny file size. You should re-size your images to 800x600 or less, before uploading. Keep file sizes under 96KB.

EDIT: Now you posted before me...

It's a Unimog. Not often seen. Big A$$ diesel and about 12 speed gear box. They go anywhere !

You have to pack light (and small!) but the compensations speak for themselves...

Of course half a million $ is 2,500 nights (almost 7 years) in a $200 a night hotel! (And that's before fuel costs, maintenance and insurance etc.

The math never worked for me—though a long road trip through Africa or South America is on my bucket list.

Thats the way we used to do it before I bought a truck, just replace Porsche with BMW.
We were all loaded up and going down a dirt road in the national forest, with the E36. We were stopped more than once by some of the locals asking if we needed help. To which we replied, "Nope, were camping":D
I recon we stood out like a turn in a punch bowl. Just proves you can't judge a red neck by it's cover.

Not me in the picture, but that is my tent (Wal-Mart: $30), with the 525 in the background. I slept 7 nights in the tent this fall while at water ski tournaments so I definitely got my money's worth on the tent. It has performed surprisingly well too, even through 2 nights of pouring rain. It doesn't breathe very well though, so the condensation can be annoying.

I have a 03 Honda Element that I absolutely love. Both seats can be folded to make beds and then moved out of the way and clipped to the sides when not in use. Many times when I have fished into the night and not wanting to pitch a tent, the Element setup has proved to be a life saver and very comfortable. The best part is that the interior is rubberized and can be hosed off very easily.
