 * Hi Everyone,
 * I’m new to WP and I’m fairly decent at php/sql. My question is this, can you 
   customize WP to your websites own specifications?
 * For example, let’s say I have a database full of vehicle inventory and I want
   to use that vehicle inventory and display it on my WP website. Does WP make it
   easy to do things like that? Can I import a database full of states/cities and
   zip codes and use that information to make smart URLS? (just an example).
 * In other words, can I use WP as a template and tweak/change/edit/customize my
   website anyway I want using WP? and if I do this, will I still have the ability
   to download the latest version of WP and be able to download plugins I like? 
   Basically getting all of the benefits of WP along side with my own unique customization?
   Is this all possible with WP?
 * What are some limitations with WP?
 * I apol. for the amount of questions.
 * Thanks everyone.

 * You’ll have to learn the templating/functions system, but the codex covers that.
