Yah, I'm going to work on getting the Photo Gallery page up and running, once we have that I think we will be ready to start advertising the place.

I like the layout here a lot. It is very easy to navigate as well as easy on the eyes in terms of colors. The speed it also very nice, posts take no time to go through. The only improvement I can think of right now is for some of us to get these GT500s in our garages!!!

I think one way to improve the site would be limiting the size of our signatures!!

I mean c'mon certain people, do we need to see a photo of your car in every post!!? Or read a 5 inch tall description of your car in every post!!? Putting a photo in the avatar is fine. I just think it's very cumbersome to scroll through a 6 inch long signature time and time again from the same people. A signature should not require more than a few lines of small text. If people want to see what your car looks like or know more about it then just include a link in your signature that we can go to.

That's my 2c. I'm not trying to upset or offend anyone, just making a request/suggestion.

My suggestion is that you just turn off the "view signature" option in your profile.

That way you won't have to see them.

The photo's that are in "every post" are there because it's an automatic signature - it's included whenever a post is submitted.

Don't like it? Then don't look at it.

The short bus jokes always kill me, in high school to get to our Vocational Technical school (Architecture and CAD opoerations:D ) we had to ride our choice of 2 buses, 1 regular and 1 short. We would fight over the short bus, because the bus driver was a hot rod and we loved to ride w/ them. It was always funny hearing the short bus jokes from the other students and teachers.

We did do some crazy stuff.

We got pulled over one time, it really freaked out the bus driver. One of my buddies playing around, flipped off the vehicle behind us. It turned out to be 2 undercover cops. They ended up arguing/fighting w/ the bus driver because they wanted him off the bus to chew him out, but she was responsible for each kid on the bus and wouldn't allow them too. She was really cool about the whole thing and they were really pissed and followed us for miles, I think they thought they would follow us til he got off, but we traveled about 14 miles to get to this school.:D

One time when we were on the bus to school, some guy brought one of those really flimsy rubber gloves doctors wear when "probing". He put it to his mouth and blew it up...it got to be about 2' long. He folded down all the fingers except the middle one and showed it out the back window. The lady followed us all the way to the school and he got suspended. :eek:

Edit: No, it was not a "used" glove.
