so was that the manual you can buy at a dealership? I'd like to get the same one. only have like half of it copied, need rest

i thought it was near impossible to get one from the dealer. I have had little luck. Ebay had one a while ago though.

No offense, especially at the risk of getting booted out of here... but are you REALLY upset and surprised that people were doing this?? Did you expect people to NOT do this? Why not just put a centerfold model on the site and put "DONT LOOK AT THIS PICTURE" caption under it.....? :p Dont get me wrong, I appreciate every bit of effort you did to put that on there, I'm sure it took a long, long time to get done (shops manuals can be huge, and arent cheap to buy, for anybody who doesnt know this). But to put that type of normally-expensive-to-get information on-line free for public consumption and NOT expect people to download copies of it is, well, unrealistic, dont'cha think? :p

well actually, he disabled right click to lower the risk from it being saved.

I didnt know that, I never tried to copy it myself, I did think of trying to print it page by page but never did (it would be cheaper to buy it instead of blasting thru 5 printer cartridges trying to print it). I just dont understand why it would have been a big deal if anyone did. I'm open to changing my mind though.....

yeah i bought that one with buy it now for $25. I saw the manual was down and just got sick and tired of coming on to the site when i needed a reference, sometimes my connection is extremely slow rogers sucks. I went to the dealer and they quoted me well over $100 canadian (I think they told me around $170 canadian) for it so I figured $25 US was a bargain even if it is used

think that jeff is pissed that people think that jeff just threw this site together

haha that was you! I had it in my watch list...forgot about it and it was sold...

I'm sorry , I did not know this was going to be a problem obviously or I would not of said anything. but if it was a problem why did'nt you just tell me to stop I would have done so not a problem. It did take me a long time considering I was doing it at work in my spare time. But now no one can use it, and you "think" it because of people like me. sorry I disagree for some reason.
