9.) Under The hood - RodandPiston.com
RodandPiston.com has been in the shop this winter, besides a few minor design tweaks that you may have already noticed, we have been working on a new feature called "RodandPiston Garage". Basicly this new feature is a social network (Which will integrate with our forum user accounts) with popular features found on many sites like myspace, cardomain, etc... but also with a few new twists you've never seen before.
Progress on this project is moving quickly and if all goes according to plan we'll have at least a beta version of this available before this coming cruise season. Just one more reason to spend more time on RodandPiston.com.
See
you at the shows!
