I'm in it for ME. I don't work my ass off all year to spend my Spring worrying about every Tom Dick & Harry that I pass by while on the road persuing convective love.
Why do I have to be obligated to "give back to the community"? What am I taking from it? I chase a phenomenon that's there anyway, regardless of me. I buy gas, snacks, and occasionally (unfortunately) line the pockets of local mechanics. Who the hell is anyone to say I need to give something back? For what? For being seen as such a menace (while doing a good deed) that online forums get crowded up with posts about starting organizations to stop the negative perception of chasers?
I'm out there on my own. I make it happen, I pay the way, I drive the miles. I don't need to be given a guilt trip about how, after all I sacrifice to chase, I still need to think about the other guy...screw the other guy. I'm out there busting my ass to do something I love....and there is NO ONE who is gonna sit here and tell me I need to give back anything to anyone.
And anyone who feels the need to bitch or argue this point, next year go spend your $3000 grand and let someone else lead you around by your coattails.......then come tell me about giving back.
This is becoming less a forum about chasing and more like an online tupperware party.
