Most likely because Year One is not a supporting vendor and now they are directly competing with forum supporting vendors. As they are just now moving into vette parts they will need to advertise this fact and get the word out so they can penetrate this new (for them) market. It just isn't fair that they should get free help here in competing with vendors who are paying to advertise here.... make sense??

Yes, it helps us, the consumer to have more vendors, but, well, like what I said above... (dont be surprised if this disappears also)

I agree it isn't really fair to those who support this forum with their money.... but on the other hand, then they would have to delete every thread in which AutoZone or AdvancedAuto is mentioned....
