I’ve put about 3 hours worth of work into this site from scratch basically b/c the previous version was made by a design student, so of course it wasn’t functional at all. Mine will be though! :crazy:
::edit::
I know the menu’s not original, I’m just lazy and doing this cheap so I’m cutting corners.
Be tough on me 
i like the colorscheme except for the white html bg.
drop the 3D letters… looks outdated.
make the menu userfriendly… not nervous.
hmm, i didn’t notice the 3D spinning logo… be sure to get rid of it.
like the switch cars buttons but don’t put the button so close near the navigation cause it will disturb.
you’re on a good roll tho.
Interesting layout, but that spinning red logo is a bit tacky. Also the red outline on your nav text on rollOver is tacky as well.
Other then those 2 things, I like the rest of the layout.
I’d also be tempted to drop the inertia thing on the brand selection. Try dropping the mouse to the main info area then bringing it back up directly to a brand from below - the brand name magically moves away from the mouse!
I like the choice of cars in the top right, though. Nice touch.
Better than the old site with the backwards counting preloader…

that’s probably the speed you think is backwards…?

Will do EG, one of those things where I just wanted to get something rolling and add some content. The menu items just get hard to see, I’ll play with it.

I’ll change the speed on that I guess.
Thanks for the help, I just wanted to get some advice befoe I got too far into this to make changes.
tip: /try and load all the image file sepparet.
4 the rest nice site,
yeah, I’m going to load each car file as an individual *.swf into a clip placed in the catagory movie and preload each. It’s easy to do if you do one and save that as a template then mod and save as.
better? Need some MrMass and EG in this thing to get me on the right track
Get a bounce on the menu… so when mouse comes of it goes side to side a lil …
?:?:
fun, I would move that logo to left side because see how that C goes with your corner, menu is great I like but the first rollover…when u just go to the menu, mouse over skips to . beginning…so try maybe sprerading the words on the menu and maybe a bit biger just to feel that skip on the beginning, like place first link right there under mouse over… where it skips.
Also as I design every day too I like black as well on my bottom of the page, and they always told me I cant see red on black, so maybe lighter color like light blue would be more readable.
I would make that logo spin right away, as u enter its more like wow, because check this user comes in u have to impress him in that 2 minutes that he stays there.
defenetly better then what they have now…so cheap, I would not even buy napkins on that site, Imagine to buy a car! I wanna see more content…
Peace
Ok, I’m going to change the top, like Mass said, and I’m going to play with some BG graphics on each page and do some tweening here and there, but I’m pretty much done with the layout and templates.
Click Mercedes… that’s the only working link b/c I’ve only made one car file and that was only to use as a template, the car’s sold.
Tell me what ya think or if there are any bugs. 
that switch button is better placed there:)
i like the ‘under construction’ page you got there.
thought you had skipped on the 3D thingie on top:(
i’m on DSL and need to wait 4 seconds to spin a frickin’ logo… no go man.
like MrMass said place it in the top left corner.
take a look at http://www.xs-engineering.com/ and see how 2A animate the cars…since ur idea is similiar, I would make those cars switch automaticly, like in a long movie clip with lets say 10 cars, and maybe animate them so every 10 sec new car comes out…much better then a click function. just an idea 
peace
alright, I’m about done. I’m going to make a not so ****ty logo and finish the home page but keep in mind it’s a low budget favor job.
Final Suggestions???
Its good man you spend time on it. that’s what counts…the more time the more good looking the site will be.
it doesnt matter what the budget is…its your work out there…somethig that you can say like hey I’m proud of it, with that your clients will refer you even more in future.
good stuff
