Default Forum stars for Miles Driven!

I know that I have only been a member for about a year and a half, but I also know that I have put over 40k miles on my vette in that time period. I try to check in with the forum every day, but will never be able to post as much as some around here! I think there should be some type of recognition on this forum for miles driven! ha ha- WHO's with me!

May be a good idea. However, on the flip side, it would also be a idea to recognize those that have low milage... that way we can keep tabs on a possible purchase of a vehicle with low miles..

You can get Forum Stars, just send Troy some cash and depending on how much you want to spend he'll issue you silver or gold stars. Such a deal.

You have to look at what some of their posts are! It is something I wondered about, how can someone post sooo many times?

Well, when you post stuff like:



everytime someone else posts something, you can rack up a lot of posts in a hurry!

Put a on every post in the general section everyday for the next couple of weeks, you'll have a bunch of stars!
