  1. Amazing -- only feedback would be the wing is pretty busy-looking along with the rest of the car. Would love to see this in person.
  2. Damn can't wait to get this.
  3. yes... http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81115
  4. Put 100 million in the bank -- live off the interest. Blow 60 million on cars.
  5. Very quick shipping -- I had the same problem as you, I couldn't find anything local.
  6. http://www.detailedimage.com/Clay-Bar-C6/
  7. I bet you have a digital camera. Take pics of your cars and post them.
  8. As long as he doesn't join the gay dating site you said you belong to then you should be ok.
  9. Another Farkas? -rep Welcome.
  10. Great write-up. Too bad the other teams won't get to read it because it is dead accurate. Before the start of the rally after seeing everyone's gear, I thought we were outmatched. However, when CR shows up, we show up ready to compete -- regardless of the odds (or lack of preparation, haha)... and I was very happy to see how well we did. I learned a lot - especially that in a rally the car doesn't matter, but the navigation skills and how far you are willing to push the limits consistently matter. And, that consistency is the key. Looking forward to more rallys in the future!
  11. Here is my feedback. I have 10 years of experience managing an online community/forum so I am not talking completely out of my ass. 1. Improve the front page (when you go to columbusracing.com) Right now when you visit as a guest (or even a member) it is confusing. You have some info about current events then a link to the forum, plus other utility links and the calendar. There needs to be something to explain what Columbus Racing is about, how new members gain access, a clear navigation menu, etc. 2. Customize the look With plenty free and decent looking vBulletin skins out there, we should have a design that is a little more car-centric. It would not take much to install one and have the graphic talent here modify the header/rest of the look to be CR specific. You can even keep the default skin and let users choose which one they want to use. On that same note -- install a mobile skin. With many people accessing the site while out and about at meets, etc. it would make sense. Yes, you can browse CR as-is with little issues. But a mobile skin would be nice. 3. Re-organize the forum categories While there are a lot of knowledgeable and nice folks on CR, there is also a lot of bickering. (I did not visit the site all winter and it was refreshing to get away.) But look at the forum itself -- "The Romper Room" and "The "Oven" where you need to "prepare to get burned" nearly take top precedent over all other categories. This is how it should be (a rough suggestion): -- General Car Discussion -- The Passing Lane Meetings and Events Sub Forum to Meetings ----> CR Track Days The Parking Lot Photos & Video New Member Intros Combine FAQ/Announcements/Ask Shao into one category then have the rest of the forum pretty much how it is. 4. Allow embedded video It is very easy to allow users to post YouTube videos. It is safe (especially with the closed nature of the forum) and I have been allowing it for years on my forum with no issues. 5. Streamline the events Do one CR car show a year, one CR rally a year, then your track days as usual. Keep the details clear and consistent and watch your events grow every year.
  12. Nice vid. Thanks for posting. Love seeing that cobalt.
  13. More info to come. But we just had awards and cr cleaned up. Omni ftw.
  14. Jeffro is just messing around man. Killing time at the motel. Thanks for all the comments.
  15. We don't have access to everyones times but that's what it looks like at the moment. The Motely Crew.. http://lh6.ggpht.com/_QSAbYNKfqyM/S_Xkgxp1ktI/AAAAAAAAEc0/EK37UEO1Gw4/s800/DSC_0224.jpg
  16. Everything is going pretty well with the Rally. CR is being represented with 3 teams. Doc & Farkas in the Benzzz, Seth & his brother in his GLH Dodge Omni (not his Viper), and Jeffro + I in the Cobalt SS. Despite many of the other competitors with some serious rally gear, the Omni is in the lead overall, with Doc then myself not too far behind thus far. CR is being represented pretty well. On to the pics. Complete photos to come after we are all done... Started at Chicagoland Raceway http://lh4.ggpht.com/_QSAbYNKfqyM/S_Xj5flVpdI/AAAAAAAAEcY/eEyOwL32HhI/s800/DSC_0128.jpg First checkpoint on the first day. One of the original gas stations. http://lh6.ggpht.com/_QSAbYNKfqyM/S_Xj5pT2YTI/AAAAAAAAEcc/DvZdZAc9swc/s800/DSC_0157.jpg Lincolns Tomb http://lh3.ggpht.com/_QSAbYNKfqyM/S_Xj5oKHDoI/AAAAAAAAEcg/W448EZoMUno/s800/DSC_0160.jpg We picked up a few things at Wal-Mart after the first day to make things easier. http://lh4.ggpht.com/_QSAbYNKfqyM/S_Xj50mHySI/AAAAAAAAEck/j-FyCUdKAoQ/s800/DSC_0183.jpg Rumors spread fast of Doc's speed. (I will let him explain) http://lh3.ggpht.com/_QSAbYNKfqyM/S_Xj6DtBXxI/AAAAAAAAEco/SjQDcIxHwyA/s800/DSC_0184.jpg Lots of nice cars including new camaros, challengers, etc. http://lh5.ggpht.com/_QSAbYNKfqyM/S_Xkgiqh5nI/AAAAAAAAEcs/tMjausvcpqI/s800/DSC_0191.jpg http://lh4.ggpht.com/_QSAbYNKfqyM/S_Xkgqi0WAI/AAAAAAAAEcw/wQFy_Jc5Ars/s800/DSC_0201.jpg All pics to come after we are done.
