Banner Advertising

Q: How can I get my banner ad on your pages?

A: Simple question - simple answer...
Go to Classic-street.com (The Classic & Street Connection) and sign up for their banner ad services.

Form Submission Problems

Q: Why did the form I just filled out not go through?

A: The biggest problem for form submission problems is the "required" fields on any form not being completely filled out.

First, you need to be sure that you have filled out ALL of the sections that are "required". Leaving just one "required" field as blank will cause the form to err out and you will be sent to an "error page". If this happens, simply use your Browser's BACK button to return to the form and check to see that you didn't miss even one required field.

Make sure you are using a newer browser to fill out our forms. We have just tested this website for "cross-browser" capability. Firefox 1.0, Netscape 6.0 and Explorer 6.0 (or newer versions) will work well with all of our forms.

IMPORTANT: If the form has a "required email address" (as most of them do) please be certain that the email address you have filled in is correct. An incorrect or incomplete return email address will confuse the software and prevent the form from being submitted.
If you feel that you have completed the form correctly and are still having problems, please contact our website administrator to report the problem.

Vehicle Production Database

Q: I looked for my car's production numbers on your site and found nothing... Why?

A: We knew you would ask that question. Here's the simple reason:
Our production database is extremely time-consuming and detail extensive. We are slowly building it on an "as needed" basis. When someone emails us and wants the numbers for their make and model of car, we will produce the page with the answers and all the figures we have available to us (which is quite a large amount of numbers). We will then post the information on the website and email the requestee to tell them that their numbers are now available. More often than not, we will have the numbers available to us. There have been a couple of times where we did not have any info on that particular vehicle. But, those times are few and far between.

Our "Members-Only" Sections

Q: Where did your "members only" section go to?

A: A fair question, indeed.
As of the first of this year, 2005, we discontinued the "Members Only" section to incorporate a totally free for all website. This enables us to open our databases to any viewers who may want to go in for a look. We will no longer offer interactive web services to our members only. This means that we discontinued the Free 4 All links pages ( to prevent perverts from ruining this website). We also had to close any forum pages as well. Since there are dozens of more popular forum pages out there, we decided to use their services as opposed to working on our own.

Before we created the "members only" section, we were blasted with fools & idiots who felt they had to mess around with other people's websites and create chaos. Our BBS and Free For All Links systems were flooded with "automated" porno links (over 250). We had absolutely no way to trace the culprits and report them to their ISPs.  Now, with IP tracking and those inadvertable & invisible "cookies" anyone can have complete access to all sections in this website, we can I D anyone who abuses the system and report them to their ISP as necessary. Our viewers can now move seamlessly through our entire website and take full advantage of our features virtually without worry. Should any abuse occur, we can track the abuser and deal with it as required.

Virtual Domain Websites (www.yourname.com)

Q: Can I get my own domain through your services?

A: Well... Almost....

We work with a licensed reseller, The Classic & Street Connection, which is one of the best online hosting companies on the web. The servers they utilize are rated as having 99.9% uptime - One of the best available!  As a bonus feature, they place banner ads throughout their website(s) that link to our website and help promote our page. There is no charge for this service to their new and existing clients.

They are currently hosting dozens of virtual domain websites (www.yourname.com) and have several more non-virtual (sub-domain) websites up and running. Formerly known as "GlobeWeavers Network", they built a very loyal client base and most of their older, long-term clients are still with them today. Their web hosting services began in 1995 as Antima.com. Then, they re-organized to form the newer company. And now, they are still hosting websites under the The Classic & Street Connection banner.

Q: What about transferring my existing domain?

A: Transferring virtual domains is one of their services. There is normally a fee for this service. The amount will vary, depending on the Registraur service you had used to initiate your original domain. Some Registraurs are more difficult to transfer domains from, such as "Network Solutions" - one of the largest and most difficult domain Registraurs to do business with. The Classic & Street Connection's domain transfer fee will usually average from $25 to $100.

Featuring Your Car

Q: How can I get my car featured on your site?

A: We were featuring only member's cars until January of 2005. Now that we have removed all "membership only" features and made this website open to all, we can feature most any car from most any persons. To get your car featured on this site, go to the Featured Car link and click on the Feature My Car link at the bottom of the page. Follow the instructions and, before you know it, your car may be pictured on one of our Feature Car pages.

Please be sure to submit your car as instructed. We do not want tons of photos sent to us without requesting them first. So, to keep our email servers from getting bogged down with huge image files, we request that you apply for a feature car page before sending photos.

Charity Organizations

Q: How can I tell if the charity organization listed as a beneficiary in any event is legit?

A: We only list the names of the charity organizations that are being benefitted by an event. If you wish to investigate the organization to find out if they are legit, please do so. In fact, we advise you to inquire about any charity benefit that you are not familiar with to protect yourself from any scams.

Charity Organizations that WE support have been thoroughly checked out and are totally legitimate. Currently, our website supports a military-based charity that helps to support the families of soldiers who are deployed in Iraq and Afganistan. Every penny of the money we collect is delivered directly to the program. Not one dime of it is eaten up by "administrative" costs or other hidden "slices of the pie". We are extremely proud to be able to help in this very important program.

Link Swapping

Q: Where did your Link Swapping page go?


A: In January, 2005, we joined forces with our host site, The Classic & Street Connection, to develop a FREE link swapping database. This will enable you to add your links to a database-driven links area, instead of just another links page. The Automotive-Related links area, Netlinks 2005, is a great tool for any automotive-related website. It will help increase your website's listings in many major search engines. This also increases the value of the links by producing link-related rankings for your website, database driven listings or searches and full editing control of your own links. The database is new, but growing daily.

You can use the code this program generates specifically for your website and place it on your pages to help your website gain ranking in this database. A simple "cut & paste" and you will start moving up the ladder each time someone clicks on the link from your site to this database or visa versa.

Q: Why bother swapping links?

A: Link Swapping is mutually beneficial. Search engines usually "rank" websites by how many other websites are setting links to that site. The more links you have out there in the virtual world - the higher your site will rank on the search engine's lists. By swapping links with websites such as ours, you help to increase your own website's popularity as well as help us move up the search engine ladder too. Linking to websites that are of similar value or content (like automotive-related links) will be very beneficial to your website. Links to sites with no similar value will do you no good at all for this benefit.

I.C.R.A. Ratings

Q:
What is this ICRA Rating thing?


A: The Internet Content Rating Association (ICRA) is a very powerful Internet group that helps to determine what websites are considered "safe" for younger viewers or viewers who prefer not to be plastered with pornographic ads, vulgar language or "hate" material. Having your site rated with the ICRA helps ensure parents and others that they will not encounter such material when viewing your website.

Some parental blocking software that is installed on home computers (as well as some school computers) will allow the user to view only websites that have been rated favorably with the ICRA. Therefore, assuring that we do not provide illicit materials on this website can only help to enhance our image and our site's standings among viewers worldwide.

Our website was reviewed and the following rating was given:
