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.
WIN A SPYDER?

Yes, but you need to check with local authorities. If I recall correctly, years ago in CT, I needed to fill in a permit at the police department.
Basically, the number of tickets sold must be in-line with the value of the prize and the odds MUST be published and accurately accounted for. That is, you can't sell 100,000 $50 tickets for a $20K prize.

Seen it done with cars and houses - just have to get a registration number from your state. I don't believe they can regulate how much you're allowed to make. Had a local guy sell a car a few years ago that way - he made out pretty well.
Someone did a house awhile ago too - but they set it up that if they didn't get a certain amount of money then it just became a 50/50 raffle. I'm sure this varies from state to state. The tickets on the $125,000 house were $100 each - or 5 for $400 and they were only selling like 200 tickets. I bought 5 as the odds were pretty good.
Didn't win - and they didn't sell enough so someone won the 50/50 thing. I think this one was some charity thing though.
Considering I've seen new 2008 Spyders listed for $13,800 from actual dealers on Ebay (Dee's marine in Michigan) - a raffle might not be a bad idea if you think you'll get much more than $10-$12 grand from a used Spyder.

Not true...if it's a non-for-profit fundraiser and the proceeds go to charity, you have a lot of liberty to do what you want.
The winner also has to pay taxes on the winnings...argh!

just thought it would be a good idea for people to raffle off their Spyders.
Has nothing to do with the commercial.
