I like the colors, but when i view the site through a 800 x 600 screen resolution the page does not go all the way to the right.

I like the design - clean, simple, clear. What I think you need is to have more content. You've got a great design now you just need to fill it up a bit, just looks empty is all....You could add a highlight color, red or orange would make it really pop.

1) if there are more content it will be better
2) below the menu, if there are pictures for each menu, it will be more fashion

Most don't create layouts for 800x600 screen resolutions as it's few who use dinosaur monitors that require that size. It is unlikely your target market would have that screen size at all, so personally, I wouldn't worry about it.

As far as the layout, it's clean and concise. I don't "get" the car toward the bottom of the layout...But I would try and work those oranges into the design more. Perhaps on your hover class, in the logo, etc. The logo itself needs a lot of work. It's definitely lacking and doesn't match the rest of your typography.

I'd throw in some line-art 1-3px oranges or blues for some colour accentuation. Othewise I like the spacious feel and the handwritten hover effect you have going for the horizontal nav bar - nice idea.

good job

Stephanie hit the nail right on the head. She always gives great advice, so my best advice would be to listen to hers too.

Along with her comments, I also notice you say I design, I construct, I I I....but in your nav it says "we"??? who's we...I know its small, but it caught my eye as soon as I looked at the page. "I" personally don't care for the color scheme, seems a little plain for me, but thats just my opinion. Maybe add a little more content as well.

Most of my suggestions have been covered. I will repeat that it needs color and contrast. This is a good website for choosing color schemes: http://www.colorsontheweb.com/colorwizard.asp#wizard

I may also suggest maybe adding a classified ad section for cars.
