I created this for several reasons:
  1. Signatures cause the threads to become too large to read text. You do allot of scrolling just to get through.
  2. As a non supporting member the signature block is limiting in the number of characters and markup code even though I tried to keep mine to a few lines with commas, there wasn't enough space to list all of the mods that you may want to consider for your cool ride.
  3. I Hope that others will follow suit.
  4. I can always come back to this thread and update it when I add or change the look of my ride.

Rules:
