Back some years ago I joined a Pontiac car club when I was starting my full frame off resto.. {more like a whole car build,everything needed replaced}.. I knew very little about anything.., I figured what better place to gain knowledge and hopefully get some hands on help, which was very badly needed.. I was so Dissappointed, I lasted about a year or less and quit.. I guess I was very niave.. I suppose I put to much faith in my fellow car enthusist's.. The guy who started the club was so self centered, jealous, and had a huge ego, his car was always better than everyone elses.. most of the members could care less if you finished your car or not, and probly preferred you never finished it for fear it would get better praise than theirs.. How sad.. I just 'assumed' {you know what that gets you}.. that everyone would help each other out, don't get me wrong, I did'nt expect anyone to build my car for me for free.. I just expected to help everyone else out and someone would help me,, There was one guy who actually stop by one day to look at my car, {who lived about a half of a mile down the road from me} and to show me his car, which he never even got out of his car the few minites he was there.. It was not only me, they never even helped each other out.. They all had there own agenda.. from what I have heard, they have had many many members come & go.. Am I misguided, niave, or just plain stupid. Either way, I was thinking today about starting a 'New" car club,,. something very noval.. It will be required that all members help each other out or they need not apply.. Dues and donations to help other members buy parts, Could you imagine how fast one could get there car finished if you just had several guys working on it all at the same time,, you could sand the car down in less than a day. Just the fact that their there could really boost your motivation.. Is this a fantasy, I think not.. everyone has a little extra time to help out a fellow car nut.. or you would'nt be doing this.. I think I'm onto something here, that has'nt been seen around this town in years.. whadda ya think,, any suggestions.. I know this has been a bit long, but this is ramblings & chatter..
