Default Your Car field in the profile

Viper, i'm really interested in what other people on this forum drive, or have driven. Is it possible that everybody can fill in what kinda car he/she is driving or drove it in the past? Maybe you could place it under "Location:" or something like that images/smilies/icon_question.gif

Well, there's two options:

A) I install one that adds a shit load of stuff to your profile: make, model, year, engine, wheel, trans, color, photo url

B) I just add one profile field for your car.

I'm HEAVILY leaning towards B as it's way easier. Oh, and I'm too lazy to implement these on any of the other templates.

I think one field is fine, as long as it is big enough to contain make, year, model. That's fine with me. Maybe colour, but I don't think any more is necessary.

^ On second thought, if you're going to add colour, please make a rule that the colour has to be one word. Because car manufacturers have names for colours that are 2-4 words long images/smilies/rolleyes.gif . Like mine would be Vogue Silver Metallic. But Silver is just fine. So please keep that in mind, too. images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

I honestly don't give a shit about other people car's color.. Just the brand model and year like '98 don't even need to use 1998. That's enough.

I lurk on the Northwest Nissan forum every now and then (a bunch of my friends are in the club). They've got a pretty ridiculous user profile page.

Check out an example: http://northwestnissans.com/board/me...nfo&userid=670

I like how they have open forms to put vehicle make\model\year in, but I don't think we need to know the 0-60 and 1\4 mile times on all of our cars.

Yeah, times are too much. I think the consensus is make, model, year.
