My take on this......

I figure this forum has SAVED me AT LEAST $500 in the last couple of years...

....so I donated 10% of that to the site ""upkeep"".

Its $50 ...no big deal on its own....BUT ...!

If all of ya 'all send in 10% of what ya save as a result of the info here...

...then we all continue to "profit" from this site.....

......and Scott can breathe easy.


Just my thoughts.....

Who could argue with logic like that? $20.00 a year is a bargain for the amount of $ you can save by following 1 or 2 "how to's".

CV boot replacement & window fixes come readily to mind...

And if you're here to sell services & or product to other members, there is no excuse for not being a contributing member, IMO, that should be mandatory.

OK, getting down off my soapbox now...

As an avid user of The Internet and a person who has been online since Pine, I am avidly opposed to banners, ads, invisible layers, and popups of any kind, especially since a good percentage of ad-servs link to sites that are loaded with more ads, spyware and all sorts of other nasty stuff. Ads are annoying and distracting and I would hate to see VX.info get all cluttered up with unsolicited crap. But that is just me. If Moncha wanted ads, I am sure he could have done this a long time ago.

Long time users of the Web have seen it go from the Information Super Highway to a congested, spaghetti bowl of garbage, porn and misinformation. The internet used to be 80% free information and 10% crap, and now its the other way around. VehiCROSS.info is a quality, spam free site, all around, and I hope it stays that way.

When I want a home loan, new car insurance, or some allergy medicine, I'll let you know.

But what about all the free ipods we could get offered???? They need a place too...

I'm am also opposed to ads... I paid my dues a day or two after becoming a member because it saved me $150 for a window, (SBC Brackets).

And since has given me a ton of insight, and suggestions for upgrades. Haven't had anything else to add 10% too... so I'd say, 10% or $20 whichever is higher

Also selling advertising wouldn't really work well unless we were clicking the ads. And I doubt too many of us would, unless they were related sponsors (indy4X etc.) in which case I still wouldn't click cause I know their direct address

No ads please. Let's keep it VX family orientated and all pay the yearly dues!! Can't beat that! In the one month of joining, I found a SH_tload of parts, help from other kind members, and vital information. Thanks again!!

That'll get me to the salvage yard...maybe even this Sat.

[VXIRONwoMAN]

[Ldub]

Can't help but notice that donations are a bit "off" this month...

Any kind hearted folks out there feelin' the love?...

Has this site recently $aved you $ome jing?...or helped you find the parts or answers you wouldn't find anywhere else?

Just my opinion, but Moncha shouldn't have to cover the cost of maintaining this site out of his own pocket...

[Triathlete]

And again...

Keith, probably get more responses if you started a different tread instead of jacking one that has absolutely nothing in reference to your question.
Or better yet use the SEARCH function...the answers you seek have been beaten to death many, many, many times!
Good luck with your purchase.

Hello all,

I am Keith from Portland, OR. Looking for a VX and think I have found one. Hopefully going to fly to it and check it out, then drive it home if all is well.

I have been told the drivers window is having some trouble -- no biggy as the fixes are easy and cheap. And there is a broken plastic rear cladding (Isuzu dealer has one here for @ $400.00.)

When I am looking at it, what are the big things to look out for??

Thanks, Keith

Here's a little snippet of a post by Tone from the long ago...It may help to clear your confusion as to the general rules of posting...

*General Rules

And don't feel like I'm pickin' on ya too hard...I've made most every mistake there is to be made around here, and am STILL known as a notorious thread jacker...

I like this site the way it is.
Keep up the good work Scott.

Between the money saved from the site and the great fun had on Friday nights with Scott and the rest of the Call of Duty gamers, I've enjoyed every bit of this site since day one back in 2004 when I joined. I've been wanting to contribute for a while now but haven't gotten around to it until just now. Do I feel pressured into it? He11 NO! Scott has put a lot of time and effort into this site, as well as others that have contributed to the "addiction".

The way I see it... every year my wife subscribes to one of those celebrity gossip magazines. This is MY subscription... it costs less than a magazine subscription, and in the long run PAYS YOU BACK in knowledge, friendships, fun, etc..!!

Many thanks Scott! Keep up the great work!
