Default Why does this picture look so bad?

It started out as a 433 KB JPEG, 1600X1200 pixels. I used "Resize" at 50% in Office Picture Manager, now it's 800 X 600 and 130 KB. It looks good if I open it with Paint or Picture Manager.

What an I doing wrong?

Looks OK to me for a relatively low res - like all typical rennlist picture posts...

Looks fine to me. Just trying to show off your clean engine/turbo?

www.imageshack.us lets you upload pics up to 1024kb.

BTW Jeff that before & after picture makes me feel sad, and a little sick.

Nice post Kevin.

Yeah, it makes me feel sick too. Thankfully a new 951 will be in the garage by the end of the week.
