New Year Housekeeping - This thread is for everyone!

[AZhitman]

Hey everyone, welcome to 2014! 14 years as a community and we can confidently say we're STILL the biggest, most comprehensive, and most-trafficked Nissan community on the web!

We've hit some really cool milestones this past year, including finally getting some recognition from Nissan Corporate, and being ranked the 4th-largest automotive community on the Internet.

Anyhow, we're in the midst of a HUGE redesign, with lots of updates and cool features for you guys, including a cleaner look, easier navigation, and some other awesome stuff I can't divulge yet.

Yeah, yeah, so GET TO THE DAMN POINT, GREG!

Sorry - So, the point is, I'd like everyone to take a minute and update their profile. Yeah, you guys. It's pretty simple to do - Look to the right, and up a little, and you'll see "User Control Panel." Pop in there and make sure everything's up-to-date... Your location, your vehicle, your avatar, your interests, etc. Believe it or not, this all helps us bring you a better forum experience.

Often, someone will ask a question about their car, and the answer really depends on where they live - and what car(s) you drive... if it isn't filled out, we don't know. Or maybe there's someone local who'd like to get together and wrench on cars or hang out - You may never know that the cool person in your thread lives 30 minutes away! Avatars help identify you, and give a cool visual reference so that people remember your posts. Finally, mentioning a little about yourself in your profile is also nice to have - Hey, you guys are posting selfies on Facebook and telling everyone what you had for lunch - you ain't shy!

Thanks to all of you for being here, and making this job super-freaking fun. I'm really proud of this community and the help we provide to new people, and I hope to meet a lot more of you guys and gals this year at some of our events.

Thanks again, and I hope you all have a safe, prosperous, and kickass 2014.

-Greg

This is why I have a list of my former cars under mine, too. Not to boast or show off ('cause, you know, ultra-strip-model Rangers are sexy), but to let people know I have experience owning, driving, and working on those models.

[AZhitman]

Great idea.... I would do that, but... yeah.

Pretty sure Greg would break the internet if he listed all his former cars :P

I'll tell you what, if everyone listed their city/state in their profile, it would help me a ton in answering questions. Case in point, there was a guy in 240 GC asking about putting an RB in a 97-98 S14. He listed he was from North Carolina. Awesome, I can pull up NCDOT and look at what state legalities he might run into inspection wise. But NC emissions testing is done in a few counties, and without a city, I can't tell him if he'll run into that. That stuff helps in making a timely and accurate answer.

I wouldn't be too far behind. I am nearing 30 cars that i've owned in 14 years of driving.

I've been driving for 16 and all I'd have to add is 2 cars to my list :O

[Deelow]

I updated mine, but may add in the cars I've owned: 1981 Chevy Malibu Classic sedan, 1978 Ford LTD coupe, 1991 Chevy Cavalier coupe, 1986 Cadillac Seville sedan, 1996 Honda Accord sedan, 2004 Subaru WRX, 2006 Subaru WRX-STI, 2004 Nissan Maxima. 2010 Chevy Traverse, 2009 Chevy Silverado ext cab, 2006 Acura TL, 2010 Infiniti G37x Sedan. I have worked on many cars of foreign and domestic origin and worked as a detailer, body-paint tech, mechanic and was certified in basic maintenance in 2001. My weaknesses on cars are wheels and tires offset and backspacing.

That's alright, we can get you up to speed on that!

Glad to have you on board, D!
