If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

Imagine my surprise to find daytona blue vinyl where it wrapped underneath. Called the original owner and he...
