Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Agreed!

One request; can the back ground outside of the formatting (I think it is called Metal3.jpg) be changed to a darker color as well

I like the original background color from this Carbon theme. Obviously it was usable with the Halo looking characters in it.

[MKader17 332]

Yes, I'm nit picking, but it reminds me of having a white border around a phone screen which is something I currently have and do not like, but free phones don't cost very much.

PS, The dark forum skin looks much better.

Agreed.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

I'll look into it to see if backgrounds can be edited on this skin.

I also agree with Sean about the mobile experience. It's like the desktop experience optimality compressed for mobile.

Or I could drive an M5... Indescisions are endless.

I've tried to figure out how to make it work with my company lease, but it won't fly.  Then I sat in the M5 and the new M3 and low and behold for the space I need the 3 is bigger.  WTF BM'er?

I can't quote MK on his cell phone comment.  Keeps "Loading"

...but all I wanted to say is that I"ve never seen a Mobile Optimized Forum that I like.  This one is SO MUCH better.  I always go to normal mode and get pissed when others switch back to the mobile.  The technique of making the desktop forum have a mobile feeling, but not be mobile handicapped is awesome.

I hope that helps more people hit up the site now.

I love Italian! Never could finish a whole one, though.

I love the look of the 98-03 E39 M5. Prices aren't crazy, has a V8 with 400 HP. I have no idea is they are reliable or anything but I like them.

They are.  And insurance is cheaper than your truck

Don't make me call my insurance lady!

Problem with these now older vehicles is the mileage will either be high or the price will sky-rocket because the mileage is low.

How is that a problem.  It's called a value proposition.  High miles are no big deal when maintained.

I was telling Neal, I truly feel like I nabbed a more reliable, cheaper to insure, better front suspension (though more softly sprung), japanese version of a 1998 ///M3 4 door.

E36 M will destroy your IS in the twisties.  A better comparison is the 2.5L E36.  Drifting in an E36 was a lot of fun.  I miss mine!

[///M5 2,833]

I'd also be surprised if you are cheaper to insure.  Perhaps than the M3.  The M5 was BY FAR the cheapest car to insure that I have ever owned.  Was about 1/4 of the price of my Silverado.

[///M5 2,833]

E36 will be cheaper to fix too....but they are REALLY old.

Hence why I said more softly sprung.  With a pinch of work and some non-700 tread-wear tires, I can make this car into a special daily.

When shopping, IIRC, the difference was about $40ish dollars a month.  Simply because they see ///M in the name plate.

Might be time to let me have that car for a couple months Aaron. You know what I have at my disposal for what you want.
