Interesting. I couldn't really figure out what it was, so I joined up. Seems unlike a traditional forum. So far it looks pretty neat.

I am not sure what it is either but I also joined.

I guess I will figure it out.

I was in the same boat... not so sure what it was so I joined as well. So, I will do a little more digging to see what its all about!

EDIT: Well I messed around and added some photos and what not. Not sure exactly what I did.!?!?

[Superior Shine]

I guess it is where you can post about your ride. I did about my Riviera.

I wonder if there is a way to browse other members rides.

[gb387]

so far all I can really find is Peter... Seems there is a couple others on line now.

Sorry about that, vBulletin version 2.3.2 only offers the option of sending out a Text Based E-mail and as far as I can figure out, there is no way to even format things like bold, italics, or even line spacing.

I'll be integrating an option for .html or .rtf in the very near future.

Anybody get it yet??

Not complaining, I just figured that if you let is be sent out with your name on it, it had to be something worthwhile. I signed up without really even checking it out.

When I saw the name I thought Meguiars was opening a restaurant . Kinda like Harley Cafes. or the nascar cafe.

People seem to be a bit confused about this. After reading and clicking around I finially figured it out.

A couple comments:

1. Is this going to replace these forums (I really like this forum like it is)?

2. It doesn't seem to be too intuitive as to what it's purpose is.

3. The main pciture is so busy, I had to hunt for the navigation.

4. After singing in, things are really confusing. I wasn't sure what I was presented with.

5. The secondary navigation is also confusing.

6. I am not fond of the color combinations. The red/black/yellow is cool, but the white backgrounds where the group list is not all that attractive.

I definitely dig the concept once I can figure it out. Honestly, not many people are going to take the time to figure it out. It needs to be more user friendly. I'd suggest some sort of usability study.


I do like:
- The featured topic/Cars/Events/Etc
- The speed. It seems really fast and there is virtually no wait from screen to screen.

Sorry, I don't mean to be so critical. I do have a background in web development.
