Default how to make a printable pic out of a low res photo

Hey everyone,
I have these pics of lexuses I grabbed from the Team Lexus website. They are only 400x55 unfortunatelty and I want them to be good enough res to print an 8x10 to put up in the garage.
Anyone have higher res versions or know how I can do this? I have a good printer, but these pics wont even come close to looking good at the size I want.
Thanks,
Tim

Normally you can take an image that about 700x800 and makr it 1100x1200 or so as seen here; www.dieselstation.com You can't take a small pic and do the same. Try setting your monitor size to 2-3 times what it is now when you visit the site, then print screen and post. The pic will be bigger for me to work with then.

don't up the resolution, make it about 800x600.... i don't really see how that will change anything though because 72 dpi is 72 dpi no matter where....

Question

I went to 800x600, saved the pic, and now posting it. I want to see if it makes it any bigger even when I switch back to regular size.... I don't think it will though

Wait, you said print screen. I gotcha, well even at 800x600 the picture is not big enough to do anything with. And besides, even making it that big, would just be like enlarging it in photoshop...

Some websites actually have several versions of a pic so if you print screen and tell the website your screen is bigger than it really is you get a very large image. You got the point though.
