Another was I had to give referrals and there was a certain amount i had to do every year. Which I wouldn't have mind because JL makes some nice ****. There was alot of other stipulations. OOO the big one is you can't revel to anyone how much you pay for a product with your discount or buy things for other people. Like I said these are the few I remember. BUT and I say BUT any violation of these resulted in penalties between being dropped and having to pay all the money they discounted you plus a 10% finance charge. The way i understood it the min you broke the agreement the amount you were discounted becomes like a finance charge. Like I said i can be wrong on some of these things but this is the jest of it.

there's no free lunch. a sponsorship involves work (as well as doing and NOT doing certain things) the question is whether or not you enjoy that work more than just paying full price. if you're gonna go to 15 car events anyway, it wouldn't bother you too much.

i know some kid from my highschool that has a camaro sponsored by some company that got him a ton of parts (wheels, engine components body kit stereo) installed them, tuned the car all that jazz. cost him very little. However, he gets to use the car for about a week out of every month and has to let them take it pretty much whenever. Thats an example of a bad sponsorship.
