Year and Model
Hiya all...
Quick thing I've noticed. When we ask for year and "trim level" many people are unsure about "trim level" .
I've started asking for people to go into the signature area of their profile and add the year and model.
Seems to be working well. Just a thought.

I think as long as its in the Sig or Av. its good, cuz i know what you mean, you try to help someone but they forget to post there model and trim and you can do anything till they get back online.

Whoaaaa guys..
I'm not sure you picked up on my suggestion.
My suggestion is to change OUR way of thought. We frequently call it "Trim Level" and that is a correct term, however most people think of it as "Model".
By asking for model, instead of trim... I have gotten many less PM'* saying "What is trim?".
My theory is .. they would put in their trim level if they understood what we meant.
