QuoteI doubt R33 can write an article, though. :blink:

I don't think it'd be a bad idea to have an article on post whoring, although I'm not sure if it'd be like a site feature.  But an article a member wrote that has their views on post whoring and stuff (preferrably not wrote by a post whore).  Okay I don't know what I'm talking about anymore, back to post whoring! :P
R33's rich... so he can probably write an artcile.
He is?
yup. he's going to buy a range rover sport s/c, and he already has 3 cars, 2 boats, 2 motorcycles, more stuff, etc.
Geez...  :blink:   Do you think maybe he'd donate me a few bucks for an STi?  :lol:


Oh...and having lots of toys doesn't mean you're rich...sometimes it means you're way over your head in debt! lol  :P
Or he stole them. :o  :D
:o  :o   Ya think?!  Maybe he's a big stealer!  How do you steal 3 cars and 2 boats though?  :blink:  :lol:  :lol:
Did you see last January of Car and Driver?  They had people stealing a big boat from some big public place (winners and losers).  Or maybe it was bus. :blink:
No idea...I just subscribed to C/D in February...  :lol:

I still haven't gotten my May issue yet...and it's p***ing me off...  :angry:
huh?? wow. did you get your june issue yet?
NO!  :angry:  :angry:

Nevermind...I have the May issue, but not June.  I checked the site and they just got my payment (that I sent out over 3 weeks ago) 3 days ago!  So hopefully I'll be getting the June one within a week...the site also says they addressed the July issue to me as well...so I guess that means they're gonna send that too?

Dan, if I wanted to write an article, what format should it be in? Could you convert a Word document? I'm not too familiar with HTML.

I guess you'd just write the article, and then Dan takes care of the HTML conversion.  Dan wont be checking in here this week anyway because he is on vacation.

Yea, I believe as of now he only checks into that thread.  But when he gets back, send him a PM or something.

When I did the Auto Show In Motion article, I just emailed it as a Word attatchment, and he didn't complain. So I assume you could do the same.

Did you send the pictures seperately?  Or included in the word article?

I uploaded them onto ImageShack and included the links, but I probably could've/should've just put the pics in there.

Thanks for the interest, everyone!  OHH, and Mazda6er, I got an e-mail from you about this a long time ago and never replied!  Sorry about that!  

Yes, any format is fine.  Word works, or you could just send the text in an email.  Any automotive-related topic is welcome.  

As for photos, the best way is to upload them to Imageshack and I'll copy them to the server here.  I've been having bandwidth problems with my personal email address lately.  (I need Gmail!)

If there are any questions, let me know.  As I said, ANY auto-related topic works here, and I can't wait to get some submissions.

I could write over a page on just sitting in an STi for an article. ^_^ (I'm joking...joking...)
