i really really really suggest doing some research.

get used to the lingo, the short forms, the nicknames. your gonna get ripped off or buy wood with rust issues if u dont get to know the cars.

read the threads, dont just make one asking questions that have already been answered in other threads.

good luck, and welcome.
