Love the red lupo, Shannon!! It is very shiny indeed, reminds me of the day I bought mine :-) I still haven't worked out how to upload pics either, I have photobucket but not sure how to get the pics from there onto here...It took me two weeks to figure out how to reduce the KB of my profile pic for it to upload- blonde moment! How are peoples lupo's handling in the snow? I get worried because I would hate to skid and dint it, so I drive along in 1st/ 2nd gear because my road is soo bad...
