It's been a long time since I've been over to the VTR website, but this
news disturbed me so I went and checked it out.
The only thing I really ran across that was members only were the
maintenance guides.
Everything else seems to be open to the public. The buying guides. The
history and pictures of the cars. The classified ads.
I fail to see what the problem is.
