In the past I typically didn't work on my cars...Lately my wife has seen me under the car and is impressed with my knowledge...meanwhile it's all coming from this site! Printouts and all. Good stuff here.

Re: #1 Reason to become a SUPPORTING Member

I think that most of the reasoning for most people not being a supporting member is basically the $60.00 a year price. $5.00 a month doesn't sound like a lot but most forums and some that I'm a member of, are roughly $25.00 a year. Now .............before I get hosed here I will say this, I'm definitely not cheap, but I'm also a member of about thirty different forums and a paying member of about fifteen of those.........you do the math.

I've been here along time and can honestly say I have learned quite a few things, but our board is also one of the most repetitive boards I have ever seen. I understand guys wanting to post pics of there cars........but c'mon, how many stock silver and black "V"s do we have to see. Don't get me started on the tire threads, rear end threads, exhaust videos....etc. To be honest that's what "stickies" are for and should be used for. As someone who use to come over here religiously everyday, I find myself now looking at other LS based boards trying to find engine mods, etc.
Flame away. , but be gentle.

Another thing, I hope Lindsay cadillac doesn't have to pay anything because if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have half the forum we have here. Those guys take care of just about any issue we throw at them and in my book just don't get enough credit. So, thanks guys.

Oh, don't ban me Urbie

Re: #1 Reason to become a SUPPORTING Member

Urb,

You need that crap ripped out, it's so 2004. I got this car mastered now. Let me spend about $2,000 for you and you come back down for a weekend. Your 80's rock would never sound so good.

Re: #1 Reason to become a SUPPORTING Member

I have to agree, for some people, $60 a year is alot. Imagine if you are someone who frequents many forums. It can add up.

For me this is the only forum I frequent, so $60 a year ($50 with the yearly discount I think) is nothing.

The other option is to make a one-time donation. Alot of forums have that (including this one). You can donate whatever amount you want. Perhaps there should be some sort of badge for those who make a one-time donation. That is what alot of forums do.

If it were not for this forum, I would have never driven over 1,000 miles to have Lindsay work on my car multiple times. I so enjoy doing things myself but I know when it is time to leave the implementation to the experts. If it were not for Luke (parts) and Bill (implementation), I would certainly find someone closer to home to do my work. Lindsay (James) and his entire staff sets a new standard for Cadillac customer service. If I were to buy any dealership on this planet, there is no question that I would pay too much for Linsday
