Do you have $1, $5 or $10 a month?

Let me see if my logic makes sense here:

9000 members (I think I heard or saw that somewhere)
x$12 - $1/month per member - anyone NOT have 3.34 pennies a day?
=$108,000 annual gross income

9000 members
x$60 - $5/month per member - who can't spare 1 or 2 gallons of gas once a month?
=$540,000 annual gross income

9000 members
X$120 - $10/month per member - 2-3 gallons of gas per month
=$1,080,000 annual gross income.

The saying goes many hands make light work. I say it is a small price to pay to keep something SO outstanding and beneficial to so many active.

Basil, don't feel bad or have ANY remorse about making this a pay site. YOU HAVE EARNED IT! I don't know about the fees and expenses that go into making this site function, but just based on what I typed above, it doesn't look like it would take big dollars per person to get you where you need to be.

Since I like saying so much, here's another one: Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? Well, I for one will gladly pay for the cow. I can't even imagine how much time and money I'd spend to go various places and join various car clubs, meetings dues, etc. for the information, comraderie (sp?), and help I can can get in one place - here.

If you decide to do so, count me in for $25/month plus the fee for the Gold membership I already have.

I fear that we shall see how much this forum really means to some in the near future.

<span style="color: #990000">Allow me to change the perspective from cars
to other sections of our lives that give us enjoyment and for
which we gladly fork over much more than $25 a month.

Feeding our faces and swilling down CABs or vino tinto.
I was bummed out yesterday about the BCF and almost canceled
lunch with a good friend and his fiance.

Logic prevailed and we four enjoyed a fantastic brunch,
a bottle of lower priced house wine and four hours of
friendship solving all the world crisis.

$40 each the tab came to. Worth every penny.

Is the BCF worth $25/month to me?
Yes and then some!

I will certainly become a paying member. I pay club dues and don't get nearly the amount of information from the members that I do from this forum.
