Matt,

Don't scan at such a high dpi. The highest resolution that you can see on 
the web is 72 dpi, so scanning at 400-450 dpi is a waste. Try scanning 
your Jetta (jetta content!) at 72 dpi and then look at it on the screen. 
Should look fine and that will also bring the file down to a reasonable 
size.
