Default Anyone make desktop backgrounds out of their truck?

Got bored and there's no new posts so I figured I'd start one

I made myself a desktop background from a picture of my truck a little while back. It's nothing special but I had some fun screwing around with photoshop until I ended up with this.

I doubt anyone's interested but if you want to see it larger or download it I sized it into two resolutions (I run widescreen which is what the larger one is, smaller one is normal screen):

1024x768: http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g3...d_1024x768.jpg

Anybody else make some wallpapers or just use a pic of their truck as one? Post em up!

never made one of my truck, but i have had a lot of the firehawk in the past, i usually dont make a border as you did...about a month ago, i had this spider f430 as my desktop, but recently, it is matt hamill...any of you into mma should know of him...usually the pic is bigger than is now, but my vga cord is disconnected, so the resolution changes when its not hooked to my tv....

It's kinda funny you started this post because I took some photos of my truck today and about an hour ago I put one of the photos up as a desk top on my lap top...
But I'm having a hard time uploading photos on here because it always tells me there are to big??

I don't watch MMA all the time but I do recognize him, awesome fighter. I have the border and black around it because I usually have objectdock at the top of my screen and widgets to the left/right/below. Right now I don't have the widgets as I reinstalled XP lately and I've been too lazy to go download them again. Funny thing is I'm not even using my own background at the moment, lol:

I wish I knew enough about photoshop (and taking a decent picture) to make something like that with my truck in it but that's way beyond my skill.

my computer at one client's office has the interstate rated Ram 3500 as my wallpaper...and I use my photography as my wallpapers on my other computers. I had my truck as my wallpaper a while back but eh, I like the other photos I took better as my backgrounds.
