The Yellow Mustang Registry is the 1,403,193rd most popular site in North America.
HAN is the 63,636th most popular site (up about 1,000 since this started), and we intend to get up into the 30,000's soon.
The needs of the two sites would be different, and the goals are different.
They realize that they make products for street cars that will be driven hard every once and a while on the street.
That's a very good, legitimate point.
There is, however, a difference between running a site that Osaka Motors
will sponsor and running a site that Opak
wants to sponsor.
...then tell me why the Yellow Mustang Registry.com is going to be pulling off a record setting meet of all one model of yellow car ever this spring....
There's no arguing. You're to be congratulated for being a part of a successful organisation. The fact remains, however, that our goals are different, as are the goals of the sponsors we'd want to attract.
The last thing I will say about image is this: how do you think people view a site that promotes parts to make what were once supposed to be quiet....
There's a big difference, IMHO, between selling car parts and openly promoting or allowing an activity during the pursuit of which hundreds of people are killed every year, including innocent people who weren't involved in the activity, and which activity raises everyone's insurance rates to unaffordable levels.
IMHO, one could label one thing as "unwise" but label the other thing as "criminal and depraved."
IMHO, of course.
