5. Did you know that our Gearheads now have total control of our Techinfo section?No, but a good choice to keep it accurate and up to date

1. I just joined today, so I'm not sure yet, but by how well layed out and packed with info this forum is, in due time I feel that the answer will be yes.
2. N/A
3. I can't say yet, too soon, but I feel that I'll pinpoint "those guys" soon enough ;D
4. Yes, but luckily not a one I am a member of anymore.
5. I had no idea honestly, but that seems like a smart move considering what it takes to achieve the status.
6. No, but that's sick actually, an ooold forum I used to be a part of for gaming (Call of Duty clan as an example, just much borader covering of games) had a section like that, which I did eventually gain access to. It's very cool, like the hidden inner workings of the Bonneville Pro's
