Default Hello, Internet Brands? This is a little much...

Why is that company allowed to advertise here?
(and no, I'm not talking about Total 911 which I totally love )

Well yeah they are paying the bills, but even Pano kicked those suckers out. Dell, do a search on Motor Meister here, and especially on Pelican. It's amazing the type of business those guys run...

Considering their reputation here or lack there-of, they are wasting their time and money. Let them.

I wish we could inspire a undercover news service Like here in NY they have "SHAME ON YOU" channel 5 - to document via video the BS these guys Pull and post it. Maybe this could help with a legal action against them!

Ah, right, a non-paying Rennlist member would see it that way. Those of us who pay/have paid for memberships see it a bit differently...

DR JUPEMAN - WOW your a jerk! - I'm in agreement with the Ilko - I think that MM are bunch of jerks. I was just answering his question as to why they are on the board!

OH WOW, you brought a memebership to an inetrnet site that makes your opinion more valid?!

I just joined - so you can go take a leap!

If you want to avoid seeing the ads there is a really simple solution. Log in to RL as usual and at the very bottom left side of the page there is a "quick style chooser" probably set to "Rennlist". Choose any of the other 3 font settings and the ads vanish

Of all the advertisers to appear on Rennlist - MM?? WTF?? I wish there were a members advisory board that could let our voice be heard up at the mothership.

Any Forum that MM "sponsors" is a Forum that I will not visit very often, if at all. If I was involved with Total 911, I would pull my sponsorship just for being shown on the same page with MM!

1. You are STILL listed as a USER! So, I second his statement! When I (we) paid our yearly membership dues, I (we) didn't sign up for ads. Since you claim that you have now paid for a membership, you got to make the choice. That's how you should have interpreted his response.
2. Your ability to use proper English could use a bit of "brushing up".
3. Good way to introduce yourself to the RL gang, however, as a paying member, it's your right to express your opinion.

Wow! Motor Meister has really stirred the emotions. Can someone fill me in? While I've heard bad things, I've never understood how they got such a bad name.

FWIW, I have met DrJupeman, his wife Katie, their children and their dog......
he is about as far from a 'jerk' as you can possibly get.
In addition, Katie is an extremely well liked and respected (lifetime) member of Rennlist.

BTW, as previously mentioned, your English/Grammar skills.......EPIC FAIL.
