    I was just curious about it. With me on the road a lot and having the IPhone, I realized how cool it would be as I'm not near a PC most of the time. What do you guys think?

    I had this very same thought a few days ago while clumsily navigating though the pages.

    I think it's a good idea.

    I don't think we need an app. Just a mobile version of the web site would be fine. Just needs a slightly different layout and some bigger buttons to navigate and then it would work on all phone that have web access.

    I agree a v8buick.com/mobile would ROCK.

    This site is PAINFUL on a mobile browser.

    just my $.02

    I access this site on my iphone regularly. A mobile version would be really good, then I could use less data!!! :laugh:

    I spend as much time on my Droid X checking out V8Buick as I do on the computer, I just don't post as much from the phone

    I don't even own a puter,just surf web on the Droid...I don't really have a problem though I haven't figured out to quote old posts,and running down the battery (I'm on G35driver.com as much as v8buick)...then there's eBay,Craigslist,and all the other stuff the interwebbnet thingy has to offer

    I am new to the smatphone but I dont understand what a app would do for me that just browsing V8buick with my phones browser mode does?

    I will admit I havent spent a lot of time browsing V8buick on my phone but what I have looked at loaded fast and the pics looked great.

    DANG!!

    I'm always behind the technology curve!
    No blackberry on there and I have noticed that it's hard to reply from the blackberry.
    Not that I want to type much with those little tiny keys!
