About the new virtual garage on 3si? In the email it said "show off your 3si's", uhh, I don't drive a 3si, I visit it on the internet.


Hey 3si Fans!

Today we introduced an exciting new feature to 3si.org - a new garage feature. Our Garage allows you to upload pictures of your 3si (or other cars for those who do not have a 3si but love 3si's anyway!) and show-off your vehicle and its history.

Log-in today and upload your vehicle to your 3si.org Garage:

In addition, you can view other members vehicles in their garages, at:

Shows how much the autoforums know about the forum/cars. It's probably copied and pasted for their other forums also.

I find it funny that they sent that out only hours after finding out about this place. (which has a garage ;))

There's already a gallery section, so I didn't understand the point of the "Garage".

The gallery just shows pictures. the garage allows you to add information about the cars. Its sortable and searchable.

Here. I get this:
DocWalt, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

So is it any different from the free one over there?

The permission were not set right. It should be fixed now.

lol, i saw that too and actually typed up a whole long reply
but then i thought, wait a minute, i don't need to get banned just yet, i've got a ton of shit i still need to sell.
not that it would matter anyway, because they probably wouldn't have read it.

Yeah, they obviously don't give a damn if they think we drive "3si's." Just wow!

i got it on 9/9/10. i thought "who was the dumbass who wrote this". an excerpt follows:

"Today we introduced an exciting new feature to 3si.org - a new garage feature. Our Garage allows you to upload pictures of your 3si (or other cars for those who do not have a 3si but love 3si's anyway!) and show-off your vehicle and its history."

i thought "ooooo i can upload a picture of my 3000gt stealth international". and considered uploading a screen shot of 3si

i thought "who made this email. calling our cars a 3si is a newbie mistake that sounds like you have no idea what 3si even stand for".

now i guess i know. people at autoforums who don't know/care.

rip 3si. it was a fun 9 years

I also got the E-mail, and yes it is odd that they started offering that after your site went public.
