I would definitely be willing to donate again (already a MS) to keep the site more ad-free.

And though no one wants to mention it, Firefox with AdBlockPlus will solve your problems. I do not see a single ad.

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.

Well, also that $15 MS enrollment also gives you more than just less ads. you get a hell of a lot more PM and attachment space. Even I don't think I can fill up my allotted attachment space.

more info here: Member Sponsorship

Although that line about reputation needs to be removed... Or reputation put back into effect.

You can kill 2 birds with one stone. $15 bucks gets rid of the ads and helps support one of your favorites places to cyber hang
I guess that's why I don't get ads either. the 15.00 is chicken feed compared to the wealth of info found here as well as the friendships forged.

It really is my brother

All partiality aside, in my observations, while many 'import tuner' sites are a wealth of tech/repair info, they're heavily laden with 21+year olds acting like pre-adolescents. Being a horse's behind dosen't make you cool/hip, or a sign of being an adult, nor is it a sign of maturity or adulthood; totally the opposite. Sadly you see some of this displayed over on the "other" VW site.

I've seen over the years that some of these tuner punks try and infiltrate this site, to no avail. The family atmosphere ,the spirit of community and the common bond of the org seems to dissolve any attempt to stink up one of the best forums and car communities around.

Glad that you're with us my good man
