Personally I'm glad to hear you say what you've said but I'm gonna remain skeptical til I see otherwise. |
OK, you met a lot of cool folks-we're freindly just like you. I have heard a couple of opinions that people didn't like the '05. Thats fine. But I've never heard anybody speak against another member. Sure they can dislike the car for themselves, but as a group you have seen the camraderie at the Pony Trail, I'm sure. And that is what goes on all the time. Did you see me standing by the side of the highway taking pictures of all the cars in the Pony Trail on the way up the hill towards Mesa? I created a DVD of the car and Pony Trail to share with everyone.
Cold shoulder at the meeting? I'm sorry they felt that way. I try to say hi to as many people, new or old members at each meeting I attend. And I know several other mebers do the same thing. Did the person attending not stand up and get introduced as a guest or new member? Each person gets to tell about their car and themseleves. A round of appaulse always follows. Most times, if your vehicle is present, you'll have a crowd around it at the end of the meeting. We had to pry several people out of Bob's '05 Red GT he brought to the meeting. Did you see us on TV the day before last years fall show? We featured an '05! Corey the weather guy got to drive it.
You can remain skeptical, but will you get involved so we can get to know you? We can ALWAYS use help at the show. Even for an hour or two...parking, registration, computer, photos, judging, host and the list goes on...How about attending a general or board meeting?
I enjoy doing parades around town. I've had Miss Teen AZ, Mayor Phil Gordon and the Channel 5 news team (among others) in my car.
The first time I met the club, I found one member who wasn't too friendly towards me or my McLaren. Now that I've gotten to know him, I have found him to be an excellent resource.
I think it says alot after 25 years that the founder and several of the founding members are still active in the club!
