My first piece of advice is for you to post in the "Introduce yourself" thread located under "general garage discussion".
No need to do that now, I have moved this thread to that location.
Welcome to GJ. How it works, you're about to become a GJ addict, you'll be buying more tools that you ever thought were possible, which will require a larger toolbox and then a larger garage to put that new toolbox in.
Stay away from politics, religion, name calling and leave your **** elsewhere. You might want to edit your profile (User CP) and add a general location. This will help your fellow members give you more accurate information when you ask questions.
