Absolutely.

I bet you're glad you have your own site for your pictures aren't you Adam??

Imagine if Sharka's build thread had suffered the PhotoBucket fiasco

I honestly don't know about this fiasco. Got more info?

I've hosted my own site since 1998.

Greasemonkey put it perfectly

Long story short, people relied on PB's free image hosting service for years, many people linking the images they stored on PB's site to their own site, forum, business page, etc. Their new terms basically render every image link broken unless they're paying an expensive annual service.

You'll probably find at least half of the build threads on here have been destroyed by said changes. The people who used PB's storage for non-profit are the main sufferers in my eyes.

Personally, free accounts should still have access to third party image hosting. 2GB in 2017 is sweet FA in terms of storage, the amount of micro-management you'd need to commit to with such little storage would be insane so there'd still be a need for more.

My empathy goes out to people with year long build threads that have just fallen apart, most people won't even have copies of the images attached.

The dirty rotten scoundrels!

From the new PB terms of use:
Free account: Each individual Member gets one free account that provides 2 GB of free storage or space available for your original photo files, or videos under 10min.The free account does not allow any image linking or 3rd party image hosting.

Available Plus Account Plans: Photobucket offers the following Plus Account Plans:
o Plus 50 Plan: 52 GB of Storage for $59.99 / Year. The Plus 50 Plan does not allow any image linking or 3rd party image hosting.

o Plus 100 Plan: 102 GB of Storage for $99.99 / Year.The Plus 100 Plan allows for unlimited image linking but does not allow 3rd party image hosting.

o Plus 500 Plan: 500 GB of Storage and unlimited bandwidth for $399.99/ Year. The Plus 500 Plan allows for unlimited image linking and unlimited 3rd party image hosting.


Who knows how many write ups, blogs, etc has been ruined by this including Warbird's build thread.

Just another reason to use Flickr. 1TB of free storage and 3rd party image hosting. And Photobucket wants you to pay $400/year for half the storage! Haha


Back to Sharka content please!

I imagine PB will start a trend. I doubt others image hosting sites will stay free if they don't have to..

Agreed though, back to Sharka

Less photobucket , more Sharka!!

Poor Sharka just sits while I thrash about madly trying to update all of my gauges to Gen3. I've not had a chance to drive the little guy for a few weeks.

Could be worse. Poor Bucky has no engine. No time to work on him while making gauges from morning till midnight...

I've not done a photo shoot with Sharka for a while. No big event or parts install or anything. Just some pix on a nice summer day.





The inspiration for these pix was actually the incredible interior cleanliness. Last Friday, my daughter and I Leather-Honey’d Sharka’s interior. And then the weekend passed and I forgot about it. On Monday afternoon, I went to run an errand and found the sticky leather.

An hour of buffing later, Sharka’s interior looked… fake. It looked so clean and shiny that it looked like a CG model. I’ve never let Leather Honey sit for more than a day. It really nourished the (apparently somewhat dry) leather surfaces. Pix were needed.

If you’ve got leather in your car, go ahead and google Leather Honey. It’s fantastic. You apply it with a paint brush and then let it sit overnight. Buff with a non-fluffy cloth the next morning. Your leather will thank you.











Check out that Watanabe horn button. I’ve been hunting a legit black one since buying this wheel. One popped up on yahoo Japan. I enlisted the help of my buddy Bo (of Bo’s Garage) who sold me the wheel. A few weeks later, 3 little birds were in my hands.

The yellow/gold background. The jeweled red cranes. Yummy!!

I need a black Falcon to finish up my collection.







I didn’t forget to take a few exterior pix. Even though he’s not clean, Sharka still posed proudly for some pix.

He’s got the Star Sharks back on for the summer. Nothing like the grip of the 15x8s with 225s mounted, but life is not always about grip.
