I'm not going to comment directly on this ping-pong match between gladiators in case they both jump on me from a great height. But I use thumbs for the following situations
[1] to aid precise identification - perhaps more so when I don't know what I'm posting or what evidence is needed for a precise identification. Or to provide the evidence if I claim it's a 1993 only Bloggsmobile Porridgecar 1.6 GTXi Splodge edition.
[2] sometimes for reference of particular features which might help confirm future sightings of 1993 only Bloggsmobile Porridgecar 1.6 GTXi Splodge editions
[3] to reflect how a car appears onscreen during the broadcast for our legendary drop-in users who want to know what the grey thing was they saw after 30-27 of ep2.06, even if that's not the most obvious or first appearance
[4] to show what happens to the car during appearances - crashes, stunts etc - sometimes fun as it enables spotting substitutes/goofs/retakes etc
[5] particularly in series, to identify possible substitutes in later episodes etc which may be similar but not the same model/year
I've probably posted a few outside that list for style/fun/aesthetic reasons or whatever, but I hope not too many. If too many comment pictures are going to be problematic, maybe use those 5 points (or something similar) as guidelines for good practice. But please not enforced dictats where other people decide there are superfluous pictures and take unilateral action. And some leeway for individual style - imcdb has to be enjoyable to retain contributor enthusiasm.
