when you hit a certain number of posts, the gears will shift. There is a thread somewhere that explains when the gears shifts.

It is off of your post count. You can read all about it here.
The first page explains the post count thing. The next couple of hundred explain how so many of us made it to 6th gear.

bobbydanger (great name, by the way), if you really want to up your post count you have to discover the Off Topic forum. I was wondering how the heck people got even into 5th gear before I discovered that part of the site (I mean, how many posts can you make asking about intakes and tires?)/
