Ah, it's not that bad as long as it's not every day. They are offering some good discounts if you need it. I did purchase a product from them so guess I'm on the list. Did surprise me a bit though.

Challenge .. has this site save you $20.00 or more this year? If so become a supporter, that's all it costs for 1 year, last time I checked.

You don't have to like it and you are correct, it will get worse. Just look at the mess over at TDS. That was likely the best thing that happen to this site.

The site owners have to pay to operate the site so here come the the vendor/supporter ads. I like the PM instead of having to wade through ads at every page.

I was planning on becoming a supporter, but from what i keep hearing about what happened to the diesel stop, im thinking my money would go to waste anyway.
Why cant they just campain for more supporters? at least that message would be personal.
Besides, autoanything doesnt even have that good of prices...
