[QUOTE=uwimage,Nov 5 2006, 01:38 AM] Funny, I'm a guest, but a member somewhere else...I'm in my early 30's, love my car...and have read some great things about our car here! I have probably saved over $1000 from either stuff I would have needed a dealer for or bought aftermarket products I wouldn't have liked...what keeps me from being a member, you might ask? Car clubs should be NON-PROFIT...period.

Sorry if anyone is offended, but I think it is highly selfish for someone to make a living out of our passion...very selfish. That's why I chose to join a club that is NON-PROFIT.

Great stuff here, I won't argue that fact. but with all the other information out there I personally chose to financially support a club that will not reap the rewards of my love for a car and not give back to its members...has anyone from s2ki ever had the 'profiteer' buy them dinner...not as a friend...but because they were a member (on a club/business(since this is for profit) event?)? I'm sure I'm asking myself to be bumped from the site, but I really just browse here...and I use different IP filters, so regardless I'll enjoy reading posts, weather it is laughing at the "street racing" posts (unless it's about someone dieing, like what happened the other day in my part of town) to reading the vintage posts...which as a 33 year old I can relate to more than any other category on this form...

Well, shit, sorry for the long post, I just felt the need to let anyone here know why I will never become a member, simply put, car clubs should be and always be NON-PROFIT...sorry if anyone takes offense to that, but if so, tough...that

I remember when S2ki didn't have the google ads, with the money google makes I'm sure the owner is not doing this or keeping it running at a loss. I'm not saying he/she is getting bags of $$$ shipped to him but I'm sure he/she is not on the side of the road with a sign and a cup.

Another thing, stop the "This is why S2KI is going downhill" comment. It's as bad as someone asking a Q that's been answered multiple times.

If I am not mistaken, that is what the thread is all about. Are you suggesting we not answer the question that was asked?

...and that kind of comment doesn't help either and might actually are making things worst IMO. So why say it? And lately, at some cases, if someone makes an un-intentional wise a$$ post (view of the directed person), it's automaticaly the reason why S2KI is going downhill.

Just because it doesn't help doesn't mean it isn't true, and why shouldn't he say it? God I luv America I can type freely can't I?

Wait is mommy telling you if you don't have anything nice to type about S2ki don't type it?

Putting one's head in the sand or denying it is happening isn't going tomake it better either.

If someone wants to state their opinion, I believe it is still allowed in America. Maybe not Socalist Republic of California, but in the rest of the US, I believe we are still allowed to be free.
