I can leaf through the recent issues at work (two active memberships there),
and all of us have remarked at one time or another how there seem to be
fewer and fewer classified ads each issue. In my own opinion, I would
almost pinpoint the beginning of the slide back to when they banned any
firearms/weapons-related ads (even tangentially related, or so it seems) and
started emphasizing at every turn that the MVPA was strictly "an Old Car
club and does not cater to...<insert largish exclusionary list here>",
presumably in the hopes of reinforcing in the public's mind that we're not
neo-nazis or Urban Militia members or anything else of that ilk. Been to
lots of events, and...I'm just not seeing the need for 'reinforcement'.
Either now or back when the policy was instituted. I think that evidenced a
bit of 'attitude' which turned a lot of people off. IMO anyway.
Last few times I looked in "Supply Line" I think it was half "Wanted"
entries, and about six or seven ads for $18,000.00 GPWs. A little
frustrating.
