    Good post, for the first one.

    I know you didn't ask for any advice, but here is some general posting advice for the future: #1) don't post anything while completely intoxicated. Resist the temptation to post or respond to a post until you're sober the next morning. That Edit button goes away in about an hour and that isn't nearly enough time for you to realize how much you're going to want to modify the regrettable content of your drunken post the next day. #2) think about using a spell-checker. Firefox can now have one built-in all the time. I should take my own advice, I'm still using MS IE without spell-check. Although your first post is spelling-error-free so maybe this does not apply to you (I don't consider "doin" a misspelling of "doing" since it was probably intentional). Some of the most misspelled words seem to be "legitimate", "to" vs. "too", "lose" vs. "loose", and "your" vs. "you're". #3) update your profile for your user name. This helps everyone get a sense of: what part of the world you live in, what cars you own or want to own some day, how hot your GF is, etc. #4) try to add pics to your posts. Pics make almost every post a little better. Resize them to something close to 800x600 pixels prior to uploading. #5) don't give people advice on how to make better posts. The people that could benefit the most from that advice will never listen to it anyway.

    Actually, I'm kind of tired. Glad you asked. It is 4:30 a.m. EDT and I'm up looking at ferrarichat. Dog woke me up about 15 minutes ago. A few minutes of reading fchat posts helps me get back to sleep. Doesn't surprise me the first person to respond to this thread at this time of night was Carbon. :)

    Last piece of advice: Always be ready to post a pic of the wooden F50 in the water. It wouldn't be fchat unless that showed up at least once per day. Here is a close alternative to that pic:

    Welcome to the club. However, I disagree. Do post when you're drunk. It makes for interesting reading, and don't worry about spelling, nobody here has ever spelled everything correctly, and when they do, they make gramatical errors. It's the internet, and it should be fun.

    The resale on the wooden Ferrari will stink with that color.

    Natural Oak with the Knotty interior is played out I think. They are a dime a dozen.

    Rosso Timber with the Pinecone interior is way nicer looking IMHO.

    You forgot "break" and "brake" - for a car enthusiast site that comes up appallingly frequently, and oftentimes in how-to threads. :D

    And welcome, Mr. three11!

    Can someone please tell me where to buy Elbow Grease, I went to Autozone, and they said don't stock it anymore, so I went to PepBoy's, and they didn't have it either.























    [/sarcasm] :D :D Welcome!
