This member is selling his Cougar to pay for his teenage daughters funeral and burial costs. See here:

Perhaps a more fitting use?

Thoughts?

I just had an epiphany

with the extra funds...........PURCHASE ACCESS TO CARFAX . com........................  what do you all think?

im in  a junk  yard looking at a world class 3.8L pony with a 5speed yet I if I had carfax, I could know some history before I yank it.

I think the software update should come first. It'll keep us going. I do think you have a great idea here though. I think carfax would be much more useful than a mobile app.

Guys, I keep coming back to the software upgrade because it is a direct benefit to the entire membership and future members.  Carfax, Charities, Donations, Mobile Apps, etc. do not directly benefit the whole site.  If we want to donate to a cause then we can do this individually and if we believe it is a worthy cause then a new thread can be started and go from there.

Good with this.  I'm first in line for the mobile app.

I have never understood the point in mobile apps. I've never found one I've liked more then the regular browser.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I like the idea of a mobile theme.  You can improve on the navigation, etc and it makes a big difference.  corral.net just put in a mobile theme recently, and it's much easier to use on my y iphone.

I can barely use their mobile version - I get a Loading screen, then it goes away and I get a second, smaller Loading screen. I don't have that issue on the full site, over the same internet connection.

I suppose after the software upgrade we should put it to a vote as to what upgrade is next. For now, we don't have the money to even do the software upgrade yet.

Hey guys, just checking in, been stupid busy and usually only get a chance to nip in on my cell phone.

I'm thinking the software update is the best route right now. I will cover the difference between what's left in PayPal and the cost of the upgrade - you guys contributed, it's only fair that I do, too. The mobile update can come later, if we decide we need it (I personally think we should do it, because like it or not, tablets & phones are the way more and more people are accessing the internet).

The software upgrade will probably happen in early December, after hunting season and hopefully when tire season slows down a bit as well.

So seeing as this all went down just over 3 years ago and was paid out for 4 years, is it going to be just about time to pay the rent again soon in a few months?

Also what happened with the software update, did it ever get upgraded?
