You guys have a great site here, but I was wondering if you ever though about making sections. There is so much great information and it get by past so fast with all the posting that goes no with this site. What I suggest it have sections like this:
Ford Tech Section
Chevy Tech Section
Dodge Tech Section
ETC, ETC, ETC
OFF TOPIC (So people do not have to put o/t in there title)
GET TOGETHERS (Where people can list there get together)
It is just my $0.02, but I think it would be easier to find all post and refind post when needed...Thank you for your time.

3W Larry, but if you are searching for a ford engine questions and you type in engine you get a 1000 post that you have to weed though and I have found most people will not sit and read though a 1000 post to find the information they want. And that return double posts. You see want I mean...

Duck . . . incoming Newbie!
Seriously though, I'm still waiting for the online car area where info could be put up so others could search out combos and see what has been done in the past or what. Kind of like this:
Year/Make/Model:1962 Buick Special
Engine: 215 V8
Tranny: Stock
Modifications: Dual master cylinder from Ford Granada
etc.....
The profile page allows you to do a bit, but there could be more. I know Ryan has something in the hopper now . . . heheh!~

What about a HAMB link like this?:
http://www.metaspy.com/info.metac.spy/metaspy/
I'm sure you all know that Metacrawler is a search engine. They have a feature called "Metaspy" that allows you to see the top 5 or 10 searches being done at that very second, and the page refreshes every few seconds. Some people look for some pretty weird stuff. Try it out, and you'll see that the searches being displayed are links that allow you the opportunity to click on them and perform that same search and see the results.
Anyway, it would be entertaining to watch, and I'm sure a lot of people would find it interesting and possibly a helpful memory-jogger.
An alternative would be to have a series of 20 links on a page displaying the "top 20 searches of the day" that changes every 24 hours. At the bottom of the page could be links to "Ford", "Dodge", Chevy", etc if they were wanted. This "Top 20" page would be an entertaining feature for the users, and it would provide a sneaky way to include the links to the makes ALAratrod was suggesting.
Sorry if this was a little off-topic. This was just a thought I thought I'd share.
