Funny you mentioned magazine subscriptions...I just renewed all my magazine subscriptions last week and it was over $100.00!
I look at this site as being a "club" that I am a part of. It is a cool club with a bunch of great people and Paul does a great job of making it very user friendly. I remember paying for Hot Rod Magazines "Power Club" to be a founding member and paying like $30.00 for absolutely nothing worth while but a cool looking membership card. I think the technical and parts resources we all bring to this site make it worth contributing financially. I also enjoy the family like atmosphere here not that is not found on other sites. Every member has contributed their individual knowledge and time to this site to make it the best now let's keep it alive.
Consider this site being MonteCarloSSClub.com and that membership is only $2.00 per month and you yearly fees are due! I will happily mail my $24.00 check by next week and feel good about my investment. I hope others will follow my lead.
