I think it's about time for me to pony up $20. I've probably saved thousands with the info that I've learned from here (I've also spent thousands as well! LOL)

Yeah, most of the time we politely insult people.

Like my wife comes home and tells me she saved me $ 200.00 while out shopping with our daughters and grandkids.....

....I don't want to know what my investment was to gain the savings. If you know what I mean?

You're investing time in the education of the more liberal among us. Waaaay more important than money, so there really is no comparison.

Genius! Now if he could find a way to broaden his client base he'd be a zillionaire.

By the way, becoming a supporter does not just get you into the club. I became a supporter, then discovered the club exists.

The biggest thing is it gets rid of all of those ads. And like I said, if yoy pay for three years, you get a cool t-shirt and a bumper sticker.

hey we discuss a lot of adult stuff in here. wait until a sixteen year old troll joins up and has waaaaay toooo much time on their hands and you will cherish hearing about some of the things you mentioned that seem unadult.

Okay I need to get back in the club.....I just have to figure out how much moose stuff I will have to do to make the fee.

Well, lots of good points above. But on top of the obvious such as fewer ads, there are a lot of other advantages. I just got the Ford-Trucks Summer Truckin' Newsletter and this was in it:

Put a Lift Kit on Your User Experience

Club FTE Membership will have you riding high with fewer ads and upgraded privileges. Membership gives you more Private Messages and Photo Gallery space, the ability to upload larger photos, and unlimited file attachments. You'll receive exclusive access to the Club FTE forum as well as a special 'Supporter' badge, the option for a custom user title, and an upgraded signature to show off your status. A three-year stay even gets you an official Ford-Trucks T-shirt and bumper sticker!

So, it's a lot more than just throwing $20 at FTE. Heck, most of us waste $20 a year on much more frivolous stuff than this site. To me it's worth it. I did the three year sign-up because I don't have to worry about renewing every year PLUS I got the aforementioned sticker and shirt. And, the shirt itself is pretty darn nice.

I've been here longer than both of you. You can both grill me up a steak, medium, and make it into a sammich.
