Ok guys, I think the club is making leaps and bounds especially with the website becoming tangible. Now here's my suggestion: A CSpeed online shop, where club members, general public, etc.. can purchase all sorts of CSpeed schwag. Just think, shirts, shorts, sweaters, mugs, mousepads, coasters....but wait, you ask... How can we as a collective afford the overhead/start-up costs for such a store? Cafepress.com here's what Nico did: www.cafepress.com/nissaninfinitiLike? I do, and the best part...we can start one up for free! Just think what a great compliment this would be to our growing website. I will look more into this prospect, and better plan the logistics, but I want your opinions... |

Tim, great idea. I think it'll need to wait a good while, though, while the website finally comes together, and becomes a stable meeting place for everybody who is interested. Possibly some corporate sponsors, if we agree to participate in some community service/volunteer work for the City of Durham. This club could become a very well-known organization, with solid funding, and an online shop! I'm glad you're thinking ahead.

what's with the first question? lol anyways, it could be channeled into hosting large meets in public areas, or ordering more merchandise. Could go towards the new website, or possibly to charity. Or maybe the long-forgotten "club project car". I'm thinkin Tim and I could be in charge of building an S13 truck drifter?

building an S13 truck drifter? JEEAAHH!! actually my first thought was to sell the goods at cost, really just as advertisement for the club...but profit does open a whole world of possibilities ;D PS: this is my 300th post...yes, im proud |

That was actually an idea from long ago, if you look back in the posts. We researched and then never pursued. Kept getting put aside. A good idea, though, don't be mistaken.

oops didn't mean for it to be a question and I like your idea about an S13 truck drifter. Any other ideas? What about building up an old muscle for drag racing? Or what about havin a fund where people can borrow money if they need a part for their car or somethin like that as long as they pay it back within a certain amount of time and we could agree on a limit of how much people could borrow and maybe even charge interest to make a little more money.

deffinently dont think we need a "money pool" for people to borrow from as it might cuase more problems then good, but im deff down with a store and host of products...i guess as we get more organized and get this off the ground, we will just have to figure out what is gunna happen with the money...but deffinently something that could benefit the WHOLE club.
idk, but good idea tim an eric!! kudooos

oh hell yea the whole truck s13 that was a idea from long long ago lol no but wasnt the original idea like to get sponsers for it then sell it for breast cancer research or something? that would really get our rep jumped. cuz then all the girls would be like oh man there all so dreamy and then BAM! Publicity and Chicks ;D <--------You kno how i roll.
Yo the whole adopt a highway thing would be cool except. i kno a guy that did it cuz his daughter died on the road and the county makes you clean it up and shit and i think even repair it! also if cops started to hear who it was owned by does anybody think it would be patrolled more often? but i dont kno i guess eric's idea with that whole "contribute to the community" idea was ok. what did you have in mind by contributing to our community? like picking up trash or like a free car show maybe?

ok wow, this post is blowin up
so i like the shop idea but i say BEWARE cafepress to me can be very chessy and cheap looking, almost every company/product looks exactly the same, not to be a bum but the only nico products i liked were the stickers mousepads and license plate frames. but a very good idea to have more products out for grabs
the adopt a highway idea sounds awesome to me, theres no way they can make you repair it thats the govs job, like the facility on guess rd near rose of sharon, cant think of the name, but its the red triangle lookin symbol, im pretty sure all wed have to do is keep it clean and mayyyyybe cut grass not sure.
good lookin out tim, and if whatever we did gained profit i say it all be put into more products or spent on renting places for meets, or give to suport a local track(but they seem to bring in enough $$) project car is cool but then who stores it/who drives it/who decides what gets done blahblahblah but im not against it, just more work than it might seem
