• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Have you heard of this brand?? Tire brand question...

    I have a question or two for people in the tire know. Has anyone ever heard of this tire brand before? If so, are they any good? Is it worth trying to use them when my current tires have reached the end of their life? I have a 2010 RTS that I would imagine needs an alignment as it's twitchy...

    Is there a bulb chart anywhere??

    Hey Everyone... I have a question that has led to another question... I took apart the dash to my wife's 2010 RTS to disable the fuel and temp gauges.
