What's This
If you're reading this, you've probably seen these odd links with funny names somewhere on the site and want to know what they're all about. Well, prepare to feel a bit more Net savvy. Those links are what the geeks call "social networks."
Social networking sites allow you to store and share links and pages across the Internet. It's like taking your bookmarks list and being able to see it from any computer.
Even better, social networks allow you to steer friends, relatives, colleagues and pretty much anyone else to the cool stuff you've found, so they have something better to do online than watching the skateboarding squirrel video on YouTube for the thirtieth time. You're making the world a better place.
The only catch is that while all the social networks are free, you do have to register. Each site has a slightly different focus, so take a look through the links and see which service suits you best.

We started off our 2002tii project with a little cleaning and a quickie spray job for our mismatched fenders. Call us vain, but we really couldn’t stand seeing primer on the car when a can of Chamonix paint could be mixed up for under $30. If nothing else, it has made the car look a little better (and our attitudes a little more positive) as we get started on this major overhaul.
We resprayed the nose and the fender of the 2002tii on Saturday afternoon, then jumped in for a 50-mile evening drive to Orlando. We met up with some other vintage BMW owners to shoot the breeze. The car made it to the event and back with nary a hitch, returning 21 mpg on the jaunt.
