I hate SPAM!
Let the world know that I hate SPAM too!! I promise you (cross my heart) that you will not receive any SPAM from us. Your email address is needed for verification purposes. This site is only as useful as the accuracy of the data. If people post false information, it hurts everyone. And while MOTORING is a wonderful thing, your privacy is of the utmost importance, so we don't publish your Real Name, unless you choose to do so. Your address and contact information is also kept in private. That's also why we have our own email system that doesn't reveal your registered email to people conducting searches.
I hate advertising!
This database application is privately owned. However I anticipate in the future that in order to keep it funded, we may offer targeted local advertising, which I think is pretty cool. Imagine you're in the Santa Monica area, and you are looking for other MINI's. And up along with that search appears banners for a local auto body shop, or local coffee shop that's completely relevant. That's the future, so for now, we will remain ad free.
