Who was the nutjob that told me to buy a black car?
 

Oops,it was the little voices inside my head almost 3 years ago.:o I knew this would happen,I'm much too anal and fussy to own a black car.If I find one hairline scratch in it,I flip out and won't be happy till it's gone. Of course maybe I shouldn't walk around it with my eyes about 2 inches away and looking from every angle or is it angel? But sitting here on the front porch watching the sunset on it is a beautiful sight and would never change it.

You guys know me,I got to complain about something.:p
Glad I listened to those voices.:)

I think that voice got into Grumpy's head even before we painted my car. He is anal about everything.

I think that you got a little of that last weekend.

Gary, if you weren't so anal what would we talk about? :p I've had 2 black Z71 pickups, my wife had a black TrailBlazer and now a black Malibu. Black cars are a lot of work but they sure look good when done right.

I have a lot to learn. Oh man..

I've only had 2 other black cars my entire life. 1st was a 75 Monza that I bought for Maureen when we were dating:) and the other was a triple black 94 Corvette that I ordered new.(yes,the good old days).That Corvette ruined my summer,the paint was for crap.

Wow Gary, seeing the words "corvette" and "summer" used so closely in that post reminded me of that movie...corvette summer.

Who remembers that? :D

Not me.Never heard of it.:)

No more black cars for me ,Im not that good at detailing anymore.

Maybe if you stayed home more?:p

Oh, forgot the 73 black Corvette we had, that was a long time ago.

I've had 2 black cars...

1. '94 Lumina Eurosport coupe w/ red trim.
2. '98 Grand Prix GT sedan

I put the clay on both of those cars, and after a wax, looked soaking wet.

I like black cars, but they get too hot inside.

Now when I was deciding on colors, why didn't any of these "issues" come up?

You don't listen to me.:mad: When was the last time I complained about anything here? After sweating in the garage for an hour,this topic came to mind.Waving

? I can't remember, maybe never. That's what I like about you Gary, no bitchin' and complaining. :beer:

I aim to pleeze my friend.:)

Why in the world would I want to stay home when I can meet all the fine people in carland?

Ok John, this is really bothering me, fix your signature.

Really, [I
[John] [/I], just doesn't work. :p

Who told you to stay home?

x2!!!

It is an easy fix...

I have tried to fix it and made it worse ,can someone who knows computers better fix it for me?

I love black cars, especially those owned by someone else.

I can't do it for you, but I'll try to help.


What it looks like now...(after the waving smiley)
[I
[JOHN][/I]

I think you're trying to get it to look like this...


JOHN



There are a few ways to change it...

1. Delete the [ and ] around your name, and add one ] immediately after the first I

2. erase all the coding and leave it as plain old caps

3. erase everything, type JOHN, then highlight, and select the I from the toolbar again.

The codes for Italics are made with the letter I and the open and closed brackets. [ is the open bracket, and ] is the closed bracket.

To tell the computer to start writing in italics, you type the open bracket sign, then capital letter I, then the close bracket. It looks like this but with no spaces in it...i had to put spaces in there or else i'd be making the command (which doesn't show up in your sig if done right)
[ I ]


Then, type what you want italicized.

Then, close the italics command with this code...
open bracket, then forward slash, then capital I, then close bracket.

[/I]

it looks just like that.

I'm finding out just how well my car collects dust. It may not be black all over, but everything shows up on it. Black cars look so nice when they are clean.

kind of a classic:

I think the movie ruined my summer :D not really.

I thought that 'vette was one of the coolest cars I had ever seen when I was a kid.

flash,
here is what you have..

[I
[JOHN][/I]

here is what it should look like...

JOHN

just add the symbol "]" after the 1st "I" and take out the "[" and "]" around your name. I did this after I copied your signature.

I think the screwed up one fits him better.:)

I am so used to it, that I don't even notice it anymore.

Notice what?

Im going to leave it just for Gary. It fits.

It's you my friend,a trademark if you will.

the wave just doesn't have the same meaning when someone else does it.

Thank you.:)

you are welcome.
