Here is my site www.localcobalt.net

A automotive forum geared toward the Chevy Cobalt & Pontiac G5, the Saturn Redline also.
Other than a regular forum i designed the site to incorporate a place where members can hang out and just relax even if they don't want to talk cars.

I have a few problems like i have over 8200 pages indexed in google but a page rank of 0?
I have no idea why, So if anyone knows how to help please pm me.

I submit my site for review.

Just some things I noticed, but they are more of preferance things.

1) I don't like full screen forums :( Fixed ftw
2) The header needs a bit of work. The Logo title is pretty blurry, and the font doesn't really match anything.
3) The navbar(s) is a MESS! Please try to organize that better!

Yes, of course for free :)

And maybe try adding drop down menus to the navbar to cut down the.. linkage?

I second... either removing the side bar, or finding some info to stick in there. One small point (don't think anybody mentioned it yet), looks like you're running the only dev skin (nice change on the grads btw) some of the icon graphics don't fit anymore though IE: the forum post icons. I'd change them up with something with a splash of red in a car theme. Other than that, cool site.
