Hey whats with all that subscription pop-ups. Your getting a little sneaky now making me go through 2 more steps to get to the forum. PAYNEY is that one of your ideas. Then again maybe not: CCT sight doesn't have it, maybe their doing well on their subscriptions,  HO, HO, hang on then again I've got both.

They have to generate business any why they can.  At least they are not sending you unending email notices that your subscription is running out in 10 months so hurry now and sign up for a special deal.  Did I just give them an idea?  Darn it!

In my experience I call the subscription department and tell them I want the best deal available and then start from there working downward.  Unfortunately this method excludes me from receiving whatever knicknack they are promoting for new subscribers.

If they really wanted to get subscriptions they should offer nice fender covers for every two year paid subscription.

I wouldn't put my name on these pop-up ads at all. I agree there are annoying but they do generate subscriptions.

We haven't gotten that low in subscriptions that we need to shoot out emails, but I think I should sign houston54 for a beta trial and see how he likes it. Don't worry houstan54 we only like to harass people who create forums post about our pop-ups.

I guess I asked for it. But I do get a lot of emails in relation to deals they offer. Better not complain, I might give up and take another subscription to one of the rod magazines. Hang on, could I handle another forum. I'll never get a life............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am use to harassment, I am married.

Mike - please pass the fender cover suggestion up the line though.  It would be better if they were made in the USA but we all know that would not happen.

Here is the next generation of the pop up that's suppose to happen soon.

So much more attractive.
