I like your monte quite a bit, but others might not like the mods you did, When modding a car you gotta take a little criticism, everyone tastes are different. as long as you see it as a 5, then it's a 5.

True, I've taken criticism a lot for some of the choices I've made in modding through the 9 years I've owned that money pit. But I just find it hard to believe, based on the overwhelming consensus I get from people that aren't even auto enthusiasts as to the looks/performance of my car, that a true gearhead, despite my mods not being up their alley, would rate it as being sub average. Based on the 1-5 scale making 3 an average vehicle.

Now you members need to resize the filesize of your sig I guess haha
The fact that it resizes big pictures in a topic is good, signatures, not good.

My sig is fine. There's probably an artificial limit to the size you can use in a post.

I KNOW there's a filesize limit on signatures, that people have been using photobucket to get around. Looks like you can't use that get around anymore, which I'm okay with, because a lot of sigs were too large anyway

I am not liking the picture re sizing. Don't like how small it makes them and that it puts that stupid "view this image larger" bar across the top. I could understand re sizing huge images down to something like 1024x768 (like Photobucket images automatically did) without the bar across the top.

Mike, I really like the Monte beside yours in the sig. Pretty sharp, although smaller now.

Seems like the resize thing went away for me.

Side note: Nothing like waiting over a week for a part only to be handed, a line that's snapped in half, by the sales associate. Thanks O'Reilly....
