Instead of asking a stupid question an getting hammered, using the damn "search" tool. Is everybody blind? Am I the only one who see's it in the top right corner? I know the answer is no, because many others preach about using the search tool, more power to you.

A little O/T, but, that "search" function is quite small...we should consider moving it (if we can) or atleast boosting its look...

I disagree ... people change their sigs, right? To do that, you click on "Profile" ... look where the "Search" link is. Just off to the right and under the link for "Profile".

Saying the search button is small is just an excuse. If you can find the link to change your profile, you can find the link to search.

Top speed is 137, as tested in CarTest2000 software, which ensures that you have no (tailwind, downhill, extremely cold weather, etc = level playing field)

CarTest2000 is a computer simulation.

Yeah, speedometers can be as much as 10 mph "fast" or more at really high speeds like that. They just aren't accurate at all up there. The easiest way to get your true speed is with a GPS.

True, ppl change their sigs. But, in this example, the person
has been on the board two or three days and prolly hasn't seen
it yet...I know it took me a little while to find it...Maybe we
should look at the sign-up process instead?

anyway...just some thoughts...
BTW, I've only hit 126 MPH
