I gave Brent $100.. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I told him if he uses it on this site it will make me sick.. I am helping him put a Side Oiler on the road plain and simple.

Anyone that needs to question how much work it is to put together something like this doesn't belong here. While you were gleening the wisdom expoused within the club and building (and selling) your dream car Brent was busy answering e-mails regarding why your pictures won't magically pop up on the page or why you can't reply to a given thread.

If it's easier, faster or cheaper now because Brent has found capable help or because a few people find value advertising here that's great.. I hope he gets rich off this site. I for one have saved a small fortune for having been able to be here. I can't imagine a place where you can get an opinion or an answer to a problem 7 days a week 24 hours a day 365 days a year. If I could, I can imagine paying hundreds or thousands of dollars an hour for the privledge..

Not just about cars.. My billable rate for what I do is just under $95. an hour. I have had several conversation with people regarding what I consider my area of expertise. I have seen the same thing happen on the subjects of biology, patents, law, not to mention the endless maze that is the beauracy that is the DMV, and of course building cars.

If being here isn't worth $5, $10, or $1000 so be it. No one is forced to give. If it isn't worth it, it isn't worth it. I have met people here that have saved me that much in a 5 min. post. I can't imagine building or even appreciating these cars as much as I do without the resources I get from this site.
