Hello everyone. First post, and want to quickly thank this whole community and Drupal for making it easy to set up my first Drupal site.
I could possibly be up for the "You're-Doing-It-Wrong" award of the month, but here's the problem I've run into.
I am building an Auto site, so I have a Make and then a Model. 55 of those Makes have multiple Models. Thus, [Subaru][Outback] or [Ford][Fusion]. Since the group of Models is different for each Make, I have 55 separate Content Fields for those Models.
So I'm building a "Browse" View, where a user would be able to select a Make and Model. The Model drop-down field is hidden until the user chooses a Make. In this View, I've provided the Argument for the Make, and then 55 extra arguments for each of those Model options (i.e. drop-down for Acura, drop-down for Audi, drop-down for BMW, etc...).
What happens is as after I have added those 55 arguments, when I click to "Save" the View, it wipes all of the View's parameters entirely. The Filters, Sort Criteria, Arguments, and Fields. Everything completely, to a blank View slate.
I have performed this test on 2 separate computers with 2 separate internet connections (home and office), and received the same result.
So my assumption right now as that I have somehow overloaded the Arguments parameters with those 55+ arguments.
I appreciate any thoughts from anyone!

Views breaks at 44 Arguments
I did some very specific tests, and it is exactly at the 44th argument added to a View, that when saving the view, wipes all Views parameters entirely back to its initial blank state.
SQL Query Limit Length
Doing more research. Maybe I'm just talking to myself, but maybe if someone else runs into and Googles a similar problem.
So I'm now at the point where I am figuring that this has to do with a limit on the length of a SQL query, which is an issue outside of Drupal considerations. This introduces a lot more variables to test and research to figure out if there is a solution to this. Will post if I find anything further.
