    Exclamation

    That's right kids. For $12.95/year you too can view everything that once was free. <cough>RIPOFF<cough> But hey, look at the bright side. You get stickers and a license plate frame all of which are sure to add an extra 100+ HP. For $12.95 I think I'll go buy a real bag of rice that I can eat.

    Do you fly passengers for free? Or perhaps for bags of rice?

    Another beef against overboost is that they are cyber-squatting on www.sportcompactcar.com .

    Try it.

    Yes, as a matter of fact I do fly alot of passengers for free. Bags of rice...no. However, I used to fly skydivers just to earn free hotdogs for lunch as pay. smile

    Well I actually paid to read those articles simply because I have no access to any car shows or big races around here. They have always done a great job of coverage and tech articles so I figured, "Rice.....Nah, info @ a small cost....Yah". Owell, if anybody wants anything just shoot me an email, I'll see what I can do wink wink

    Talking

    In the past I used Overboost a good bit, but found they were slow to add new articles of interest, and a number of articles were sparse or left out key info. I was in contact with them about writing an article, but they stopped responding, after I told them I was not in the NE to cover some of the events, they wanted someone at.

    All in all, a good web site, worth $13 a year, probably. It is at least as good as stupid street.
