Ehh... If gas were free then yes this would be great, but unfortunately it's not. Honestly, what "site related" items are we looking at shipping? Forget it. When you find something "site related" and will benefit all or most of the members here. Let me know and I'll paypal you the $12 or whatever for shipping charges.

You also have to think about those "what if" questions. For example, what if someone gets into an accident and stuff gets damaged? Or what if the item disapears (gets stolen) who will be responsible for replacing it? I'm not trying to sound negative, but things like this tend to rear their ugly head when you least expect them too.

^ Yeah good point Cyber. Honestly one of the things i was thinking of was the trophy for COTY and little site like things like that. But in case of an accident I guess that is why you pay for certain things.

All in all I was just thinking of a way for some people that normally wouldn't meet each other to be able to meet up and exchange ideas/parts and the what not. Maybe even spark some longer runs to meets that are just outside of normal driving.

Maybe for overly heavy objects it might be worth it. Just a thought that I had read, and figured I'd see what the thoughts were.

Thanks for sharing guys.

the whole idea is great but i live in Cali and gas is expensive and those what if questions always will happen. then again it would be worth it for things like doors and such

It's a noble idea Silver, it just has a few kincks in the armor. I have several obligations where I'm at, but if you ever need my help, let me know and I'll help if I can. smile.gif

Thanks Pat, but I think we'll leave this alone for a little bit. Great ideas and all, but just need to see when and where it'll work.

If everyone wants to keep it in the back of their minds just in case, it may work out one day.
