by default it installs as admin only. This is so you can configure it before releasing it to the users.
ACP->Settings->Options->Garage General Settings
Change Garage Menu Button from Admin Only to Enabled

Is there a way to make the featured vehicles on the home page and maybe a way to vote on the featured vehicles to get the vehicle of the month.

There are a few different options for setting the front page vehicles on the Garage General Settings vboptions section, featured vehicle is one of them.
I'm working on a way to nominate and vote on vehicle of the month for 2.2.x

So, basically just follow the "quick and dirty" install, and everything should work fine, right?

I'm trying this tonight.

yes, if it's in the forums directory it should work. Only repeat issues I've seen is having to set the images/garage/attach folder to 777 if you get permission errors uploading images and sometimes having to set the Garage Files URL field in the Garage General Settings

this is what i got

what does this mean??

I did change the attach folder to 777

What garage files URL? what do I post there?

who is the owner of images/garage/attach? Changing it to 777 usually works.
The Garage Files URL wouldn't cause this problem, it has to do with the folder ownership.

EDIT:
Also, is safe-mode on?

I'm not sure If i understand your Q. what do you mean who's the owner?

I uploaded the files in the "Upload" folder to the server under mysite.org/public_html/forums, right? did all the steps as stated and changed the permissions to 777 to the "Attach" folder. Am I missing something?

And no safe mode is not on. The forum is active and perfectly fine.

Safe mode is a php function, you can tell if it's on by going to ACP->Maintenance->View PHP info
Look for the safe_mode setting.

If you look through your ftp program it should tell you who the owner/group of the attach folder is.

under acp>maint>view php I found this:

safe_mode:

Local Value: On Master Value: Off

safe_mode_include_dir

Local Value: /usr/local/lib/php/ Master Value: /usr/local/lib/php/

on line 1730 in the /includes/garage_func_var.php, this is what I found:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

How do I adjust this?

MY hosting company doesn't use FTP. I log on to access my files using 6thgenmaxima.org:2222

The only confusion I might think of is when I uploaded the contents of the "upload" folder, I made all the contents into a zip file, uploaded that zip file onto my forums directory, then extracted it. Should I have uploaded the Upload folder itself or only the contents of it?

unfortunately it might not be something I can fix. If they use safe_mode then your host probably doesn't have your account configured in a way that you can create a folder and execute things like mkdir in it.
You might ask them to remove safe_mode from your account.

if they remove safe mode would that help?

It should, never had much luck working with safe_mode on. They might not do it though. From experience I've seen that hosts put on safe_mode because they don't know how to properly secure the server or they don't want to spend the time.
Will be nice when PHP 6.x comes out so we wont have to deal with that issue anymore heh.

Ah ok. So no garage install for me I guess

Are you sure i'm installing this right? i don't even know.

Sounds like it's installed right, just getting a permissions error. I would ask the host to take a look and see if there is something messed up with the owner/group of the images/garage/attach folder.
