I posted this in haterad thread also why not take it another level offer free membership but also offer different levels of membership the more you spend the better your perks get its always nice to have options...Have a package for those that are online only another package for those that attend events...Get with vendors to put together goodie bags with a membership card /lanyard holder ,poster ,t shirt, hat ,jacket,license plate frame,calander, keychain, or have a pick your goodies option...an online store is also an awesome option were always lookin for buick goodies having them all in one spot would be saweet...Scott at gns has some kick azz keychains...
Maybe discounts on products online perks like increased pm and avatar space, As far as the track guys membership package discounted admission to events,the option to buy your event tix ahead of time and have a members tent with ac and like a barbecue/members dinner at the tb.com nats..... And a members area at the other buick events maybe priority parking with electric hookup and other racer support idk the sky is the limit here ...Also Maybe get together with the vendors that are from certain areas of the country and Put up a big Turbo buick.com tent at other major events with the vendors all in one place that way the cost can be shared so it will be easier for vendors to attend ...Goto major events like Detroit autorama,carlisle,car craft nats, hot rod power tour,and maybe a import vs domestic event.....It will help grow the community... Announce on the site which events so you can have have local members bring a few cars to display at the tents..
As far as the donation thing goes have different levels of donation like once you get to a certain level of donations you get certain perks and have posted running list and prizes for top donaters at the nats and online prizes recognition for those that dont attend but donate online...
Thats sad. Well if they do end up doing some sort of "donation" thing you always have "TurboBuickS.com"
