A General Discussion forum for cars and other topics, and a great place to introduce yourself if you are new to NICO!

Maybe I'm just being picky.... but that Tire Rack banner needs some Nissan/Infiniti cars. I realize it's most likely a generic advert that they provide for all the forums and sites they advertise on, but this is NICO damnit!!! I'm tired of seeing that ugly Focus and some other POS that has nothing to do with us!

Throw us a freakin' bone Tire Rack!

i think the silver car on the side banner is an infiniti, looks like an M45 and seems to have the infiniti symbol on the grille.

Sultan is right.The TireRack side banner is custom made for us.

A few montrhs ago it cost over $2000 per month to keep the site up.

Since then our bandwidth use has risen sharply.

Every month our founder writes a large check OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET to keep us alive.

truth be told all our memebrs are using a lot more services than we are paying for (0$ per year).

We used to have monthly fees, we no longer do.

Time and again members when asked, prefer sponsors over yearly fees.

Besides our sponsors are really good guys.Some of them even give NICO specific discounts and many are among the best in the business.

Oops....

Sorry, Didn't see that one! Actually, I pay no attention to the side banners... they are an annoyance and I just scroll to the right after every page opens anyway.

EDIT: But I appreciate their contribution to our site. I certainly wouldn't want to pay a fee to use NICO.

If there was a way to donate funds, would you consider doing so?

I think there is a way to donate funds.... right? Anyway, as much as I'd love to hand over my hard earned money... at this point in my life my spare change still goes towards paying off a boat load of student loans. Besides, I think NICO will survive alright... have you checked out the advertising price list lately? whoooo-eeee!! Some day I'll be able to give some back...
