Anyone in the Classic Car Industry?

[preneur]

Hi,

I have a recreational site of mine Classic Nation, which is basically a classic car enthusiast site with pictures, forum, classifieds, event calendar, and some other things.

I wanted to keep all of the core functions free for everyone, but I would like to see if there is any way to generate a little revenue from the site.

I want to stay away from crappy banners or adsense type ads, but does anyone have a good idea of how to turn a little revenue from a site like this without something distracting?

Any "outside of the box" ideas?

I would work on growing the site a good bit more before you try to gain revenue from it. It is desolate at this point. As for the outside the box revenue i'm not sure at this point. Most revenue stream type have already been used. You will need to provide some kind of service from your site that people don't get elsewhere.
