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

EDIT: Oh yeah, there is no reason someone that can afford a V cannot afford $5 a month for the greatest collaboration of info available on their cars! | fine, fine, i'll find the thread for you http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...noisy-ads.html |

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.

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  |
