i like the new setup. i think its easy on the eyes. i dont mind the thing at the top either. it needs a little more on it though.
rides of the month was nice except it got to be rides of the 3 or 4 months instead. thats a bummer to look at.
all in all i say good job!
ps. check out this site.

the top banner on the randomly changes all the time whenever you click something else. mostly members cars, project pics. things like that. i think thats a great idea because even though you eventually see all the pics it takes a while to get through them.
