because they can't pull any of their usual tricks. When I worked for Volkswagen back in the late 70s/early 80s one of the regional sales managers explained to me that "the only thing that exceeds a dealer's ego is his greed." So dealers prefer clueless customers because they are more profitable. To get an idea of how few dealers like TSN, note the small number who support the site, or who support Saab Club of America.
IMHO, a place like TSN is a PITA to most dealers because they can't treat us like mushrooms (keeping us in the dark and feeding us bullsh*t).
Find a good indy or DIY.
