• 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.

Lets See Your Other Toys!

My other toy doesn't have a steering wheel........

It's called a speeder, or a railroad motorcar. They were used by the railroads to move men and equipment to inspect and repair the tracks all over North America. They replaced the handcar.....

and because they are gas powered were considerably faster, thus called speeders. They ran the rails from the early 1900 till about mid 1980's when they were replaced by pick-ups called Hi-rails that you see now.
 
Do you have to have your own railroad to drive it on?

No, but there are about 500 runs a year all around The states and canada. Like a spyder rally, we get together as a group and rent the tracks. Definitely see places and scenery most don't.

Now that is a toy I want!!! I've owned 2 1995 vettes in the past. I'd love to have a Z06, but I found an awesome GS with the 60's GS paint scheme that I love the look of.

Its actually the first Chevrolet I have owned in nearly 30 yrs. Long line of performance Fords in the mean time. But when I parted with my Ford GT, there really was nothing of interest in the Ford coral. Looked at a number of options. Tesla, Audi and Porsche. Vette was my wife's idea. One test drive won me over. Really like the car. I am watching developement of the 2020 mid engine vette closely and would be in the market about that time.....could happen if I keep working.
