i joined a car club...
ok i know i might get some slack about this but i wanted to share this with my friends at AF. i recently joined a "car club" that was started up by some fellow enthusiasts in my local area. now i usually hate car clubs but this one is pretty straight. in fact, we hate to consider ourselves a car club. here's the details:
-10$ a month (goes to finance one person's mod each month, the group elects who gets the mod by a vote) -2x3in decal on fender (no windsheild banners, etc.) -prestigious cars only (no saturns/kias) -access to a lift and garage with technician support -various trips to the local track, NOPI, HIN, and other car shows (discounted price thru monthly dues!) -no illegal street racing there's some more rules to it but that's the general idea. i posted a pic below of the current members. i am the only civic so far, but we have two others nominated who are awaiting a group vote. just wanted to know what you guys think...

i just wanted to get some feedback on it. i know car clubs have a real negative image but this one actually has some motivation to participate. just curious if you guys would've joined if say they had approached you...

Car clubs have been done. Most of em have the same rules and benefits. I admit that you will get noticed more with a club but who wants that? IMO I think crews are whack unless they are one of the old school elites.

a majority of the clubs around here just sit in parking lots and go out to eat. but since im in this club, i have a chance to get mods quicker and i have access to a garage so that i can work on my car. another thing wrong with other local clubs is RICE. there is one around here called madhouse customs. they have a bunch of tacky cars with unpainted body kits, ridiculous spoilers, and ugly underglow. i like all of the cars in this club though. it also boils down to basics, a group of people with the same interest...

here's the logo (the decal on the car is like 2x3in)
r'tek stands for "racing technology", someone also came up with the alternate idea of "our technology" but that never became official.

Well than, if that's all you guys wanted why call yourselves a club/crew. You don't need a crew for that. All you need are good friends. Little insignificant crews that get started hardly ever last and if you have started a crew the way to get some respect is to have a bunch of bad ass cars, i.e boost, swaps, or show winning cars. If not than you will just get laughed at. I suggest you lay off the crew stickers till you really have something established.

having a badass car ie boost , doesnt gain you respect, if youre an asshole youre gunna be treated like an asshole. You could own a lambo, if your a dick to everyone , forget respect. Just my 0.02. It looks like you got some good rules especially the no street racing one. However the $10 a month per member going to a designated person by vote seems to me like a bad idea, it porb be better if you had a draw. ANyways good luck.

B16: i didn't mean that's what the point of the organization is. i was just saying that another reason i joined is because it's a group of people with the same interest. the group itself just received the permission to use the garage, a big step, and we are also negotiating with 2 possible sponsors. you have to remember this group was started about one month ago and is still getting off the ground. i agree that you need function otherwise its pointless, but i believe this one is gonna definitely have purpose.
markpa: I thought about that too. Some people may feel that we choose to play favorites but everyone has agreed with the idea so far. It's in the handout we give to potential members, so if they join they're probably cool with it. We decided to elect members because some people just need things more than others. For example, the first collection will probably go to dropping that sky-high contour :o

I think its cool. If I had a chance to join I probably would. Especially since there are so few modders around here. The garage access is the biggest + IMO. The cars in the group look nice I think if they're not dicks then you got urself in a nice group. Club is overstating it tho. When you get 20+ members then maybe ur a club, not just 6
 anyways sounds nice but don't expect to get more respect being in a club. Just more support.

do you like being a member of a club? that's all that matters. as long as it helps you get more motivation to work on your ride then that alone is a +.

I think the idea is pretty cool! As for the whole "car club", well, that's a lil bit overused. Most of the guidelines you've listed are pretty reasonable, especially the $10 a month, that can come in handy as each member can equally alter their ride without beginning a brawl. Hey, and there's nothing wrong with being the only civic, you'll stand out the best! hahahaahah later.
