I got to sit in the grass outside of danes discount and take pictures of all the geogous cars that were passing me by. For those of you who didnt get to see, I took pictures of 99% of the cars. Some are blurry and I do appologize, but I hoped to get every car in the show..and theres some 1300 pictures in this gallery. I hope you enjoy!

Things seem to finally be settling down for me so I can get this site to the point I want it before going on a massive advertisement campaign (free of course).
I present to you some new features:
First off is the mobile view. The Front page if you go to it with a smart phone automatically loads all the stories, now the forum has a mobile mode as well. This one has to be accessed directly. go to talkspringfield.com/forum and click the mobile mode at the very top of the page. Another way to view the mobile forum will be to type mf.talkspringfield.com in your browser (coming soon!)
Second is a chat room. This feature existed before, but we wanted a more open version. Having it hosted through Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a great way. Now you can access the chat with any client you want as well as on the website. We wanted to make as easy to use as possible but allow for more advanced users to have more options as well. Head on over to the chat via the link at the top of this page or by clicking Chat in the forums. We will be looking for moderators when the site starts picking up.
Facebook integration is on its way as well as twitter. You can follow us at facebook.com and twitter.com/talkspringfield. Tell your friends. Most of our posts will appear on both and we would love for you to share and comment on the topics

This years ride was a bit wet but it was fun and worth it. I had the privilage of attending the ride from Springfield to Taylorville to Chatham. Along the way I got some video and pictures. Video still needs to be edited for time, but for now enjoy the pictures: Read the rest of this entry »

Hope everyone is safe tonight and is enjoying themselves.
I hope you have new tires on your car! We had our first real snow this weekend and boy was it slippery. I had the privilage of driving in it last Saturday and Sunday. I drove in a 4×4 this year. It made a huge difference!
Just drive safe. Remember to start out slow and slow down farther down the road than you would usually.
If you get stuck in snow you can always try some sand or cat litter behind the tire that spins. If you can, dig your tires a path before you try and leave.
A reader had added: “When driving a rear wheel drive vehicle. If you get stuck and one wheel spins, you can try applying the parking brake slightly, only slightly, this fools the rear end gears into sending torque to the other side of the car and may get you moving again. Don’t forget to release the brake once you are moving again. Good tip if you can’t find sand or cat litter.
