Ok, I was wondering if it might be something like this...

Yeah, they don't let you use any of their computers for personal gain
or profit.
However....
What makes us different than the Impalla club? The only thing I can
think of is that they're all in one geographic location, and we're spread
around the globe... (With most in the US and Canada) You didn't
specifically say so, but from your post, it didn't sound as though the
Impalla club had a web page where they offered advertising to the parts
distributors, so I was wondering what the distributors' incentive was.
We're still a "club", just like the Impalla club. If they can get
a discount without web page advertising, why couldn't we do the same? :-)
