Adam,

If you improve this site much more, I'm gonna have to hire someone to help me enjoy it. I didn't realize you could improve perfection.

Even though I'm not at all mechanically inclined, I always read every post and the mechanical apitude of some of the guys here never ceases to amaze me.

I already did that to the C3 General Discussion forum.  I'm probably going to open it up to all the forums in the near future.

It sounds really good, but in truth I don't understand 1/2 of it.  But still, I'm guessing I'll enjoy it.
