• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Restart SE after stalling in reverse?

    Stalling I had that issue as well, with foot on brake it would start in reverse. I took it in to the dealer and it did it to the mechanic as well. He did something in Buds to update the shifting and have had no problems since. I would suggest asking your service department about it.
