Snapped this picture recently.

Even if I made all my money from 2by2.net, I don't think I'd be putting the sticker on my Lorinser CL600.

That's one nice CL! I wouldn't put on the 2 by 2 sticker either. What's up with those anyways? I saw one once on a new Diablo.

I've seen those stickers ALL over the place. On cars ranging from LeBaron convertibles to new CLK's. What exactly is it? Some kind of coke-dealer ring?

Looks like some sort of Internet community that makes money by offering YOU cash back rewards for shopping online. They make their money from the retailers when you enter the retailers site from the 2by2.net portal..... In other words, a .com company that will be out of business soon.

I just saw a GS430 and a Diablo with the 2by2 stickers on them the other day. Obviously the stickers have done their job because they got us talking about the company.

Yeah, we're talking about them alright...."coke-dealer ring"......"out of business soon". Probably not the desired effect of the stickers.

Those 2 by 2 things are basically pyramid scams. The ones withe the diablo and the CL are basically at the top of the pyramid. They make all the money and use there cars as a "pitch" to join. And i think there advertising actually works. They dont make money by internet sales....they make it by membership. Every member pays an upfront of 240 dollars i believe.
