Wow! I'm amazed how you got that domain! I thought Nintendo would at least have it registered. :)

Comments:

- Cyber is right. Your site needs LIFE. It's too boring. The colors, the layout, and pretty much everything else. I must admit that it is pretty organized, but you need to make it more appealing to users. Almost everything is black, white, and blue. However, when I visited the "Boats" page, I was impressed by the background skin. You should definitely use those kinds of designs more! It's a good start, though more work is needed on the overall feel of the site. Using images to spice up the titles of each page will definitely help. (-15)

- Why need two separate form for Comments and Suggestions? Combine them and make them into one. (-1)

- Under a large advertisement is not a great place to put a random quote generator. If you really have no other place to include it, then you can keep it there, but you should add the text "RANDOM QUOTE:" before it. I barely noticed it. (-1)

- As a "follow-up" to suggestion #1, you need to use more images. The entire nav bar could be redesigned using images, but that would probably be unreasonable. I think that you should try to add an image for the section headers "Site Community", "Site Sections", "What's Going On?", "Hosted Sites", and "Cool Links". Of course, as I mentioned before, the top box displaying the title (like "Latest News..." on the main page) should be replaced with an image. (-2)

- Logo looks uninspired and dull. Also, it clearly symbolizes that cars that are mentioned on your site, but what about the boats? (-1)

Overall: 80%

About adding color - I guess you want to basically keep the grey and white loook. What about a couple of spots of strong colors? Red sports cars are cool. :)

yeah red sports cars are cool, but I'm already happy with a black sports car :classic2:

I have already updated the design slightly:
- new logo, sorry but I can't make better :(
- images instead of text above the links in the menu...

Better job, with those new images to separate the different sections of the nav bar. :)
