This has never been done before in the entire 19 years these cars have been on the road, you are the first person to think of it or try it. I think you are on your own, in uncharted territory, and will have to learn everything as you go. Good luck and let us know how it works out.

Damn, I love sarcasm. Seriously, though, its the very first thing in the faqs because so many people ask this question.

you know, Ive been thinking, we shoudl make a sticky, and put it at the top of the forum. Im not sure what it should be called, but I was thining something like "ALL MEMBERS NEW AND OLD: Must Read Before Posting; Rules and Guidelines"

we could in this thread dictate all the simple guidlines you should follow (like checking the Frequently Asked Questions) before posting.

Its jsut an idea... but I though we should try it out.

If they dont read the faqs, they arent gonna read that. I believe people have suggested making reading the faq manditory, but it never happened.

A friend and I just did this in a GTU, most of it really only involves common sense (mechanical common sense that is)

Like everyone else said, do a search, gobs and gobs of information..

thats a brilliant idea, just have it so thats all that pops up when they log in, and they have to answer a 10 Q test at the end w at least 70% to get to the real forum, and mods should have the ability to close out the forum to someone ecept for the faq for up to 2 days at a time if they post that stuff

OK, time to close.

As many have suggested:

1. Read the Rules/Guidelines thread
2. Read the FAQ
