I think it is funny how you can pay to view a site that doesn't have ads. Why not just get firefox with adblock for free and you won't view any ads either?

related to the topic, I think it is lame, but hey, people are giving him money to go to tahiti, I wish I had thought of that.

 

meh, who cares, I wouldnt dontate though

 

Damn, is that the only way that guy can put it? Comparing the site owner to a homeless person? C'mon. WTF. Seriously though, it is his bad for e-mailing EVERYONE instead of just people who post more frequently. I must say though, the guy's got some ***** for going that far for his woman. That alone deserves a salute from me. :P

 

I just paypal'd $100 to Alex so he can get some coke and a hooker.

Do I get upgraded status????

 

I just read a few random pages from that thread, and it seems there ARE a few normal people over there who asked why they didnt just do something they could afford, and state how ghey it was to ask for money from the site members to pay for a personal trip for the site owner. But it seems the majority of the people over there seem to think this guy is "Gods gift to the planet" and just comply with his requests because "he is the site owner and has helped out alot of members over the years.....blah blah blah."

edit: I liked your comments motoracr22

 

Ha!

 

With that said, I'll hand Alex $5 when I see him. :P

 

Don't be jealous just because he had a great idea. Just like SaveToby as well.

In the end you can call these people lowlifes, proudly state that you have higher moral standards, etc. etc. but it's the anonymous internet and at the end of the day the guy's got a wad of cash.

 

at the end of the day he's still a begger

thats a lame way of getting money....you should be earning your money not asking for it.

yeah..what a great idea..lets beg people on the internet that I wont ever meet or appreciate for money so I can go on a plush honeymoon

 

wow...kick yourself please...

 

OK. I will admit to being a tireless 'romantic'. I put $5 on Pay Pal... Christ, I drink a $10 bottle of wine most nights... tonight I am drinking s***. But if she gives him a rocking time for just one night under the moon of that island, WTF.

Spit on my windshield... I'll give anyone 25 cents for such a good window job ;-)

 

understandably, the dontation's cause isnt that noble. but hey, got to give him a little credit for running a website that helps tons of car enthusiasts.

 

I agree 100%. It was in horribly poor taste to pull that kind of crap. I was a bit annoyed when I got that email

 

Yeah, pretty lame for sure. I will be getting married next year and we will be paying for everything on our own. I don't have an STi and my fiance only has a .7c ring but that's because that's what we/I can afford. Ah well.

I didn't get the mail tho because... I checked the "right" box.
