I'm not sure why folks enter driveway shots. I think that'll be a new rule starting in February.

Carry on.

Thanks! They're all good looking rigs to be honest....I'm starting to think the editing software I use might be changing the format of my pics when I resize and whatnot to post them, guess I gotta sit down and finger it out
