I joined the club in August `06 and debating if I should become a life member or not or continue payments anyway,any input? I sent in my first life member payment and was going to pay it off in full so I called cust. service and they said had no record of it.It sounds like they need some management help. Anybody have any simular problems? I have a small car cllection which include a 1932 Ford Vickey streetrod, a 1967 chevy Impalla SS, a 1968 chevy Impalla SS,3 1970 chevy Chevelle`s. Would love to show pic`s after Ifigure out how.

Smokin, I've always been a life member. The reasons being, you never have to worry about a missed payment after you are paid in full, You get a very sweet leather jacket, and you can legitimately sign your posts life member if you want. Also Only life members get the jackets. As far as posting your pictures go to the photo album topic and somewhere in there Camaro69 posted how to do it. That is I think it was Cam.Hurry up and post some pictures cuz it sounds like you got a very nice collection. Welcome aboard

Thanks for the reply Cad Jack I`ll give customer service another call with the payment dates. Photos to be posted soon, maybe this weekend.

Welcome, Smokin32, and it sounds like you have an awesome collection of fun toys. Customer Service should straighten it out for you, I've never had a problem. There is always the possibility that you will, but that's because humans are fallible. Better than computers any day of the week, in my book, despite fallibility. I hope to see your cars soon in the photo album section. See, Jack? We agree again!

Welcome Smoking32. Only issue I have had was when the system went down for automatic payments when it was back up it took several payments out at once. Was like over 200 bucks. It came at a bad time but survived it. Haven't had a problem since.

Hey Smokin 32,Customer Service will usually get it straightened out if ya give them a chance.Thats the bad thing about out sourcing but thats what most companys do these days.Get them dues paid so we can get a good look at all of those beautiful cars you've got.Lifetime Membership is good,you never have to worry about if you made the payment or not,and the jacket makes it all worth it,just hope you live in a cold enough climate you can wear it because it is way to hot for summer use.We've hinted for some t-shirts,but don't know if they're coming or if it fell on deaf ears.Have a good one.

No need to get embarrased cadillac jack, you guys on this site are great and kinda comical. I try to get to my shop after work every day to catch up on all you guys conversations, I might not post much, because when you guys post you seem to have my same anwsers and i dont want to beat a dead horse. Everybody keep up the good work

Hey smokin, welcome to the club and I am also a life member. I really haven't had any problems with the life membership outside of not getting the wash mit, but I didn't join to get that mit.

Welcome Smokin,
great bunch of guys on here,gotta agree with Cad Jack and the payment thing and the jacket is really cool.
By the way, if you see a ford in your rearview, he must have put a chevy engine in to keep up. Ain't that right Jack???

Originally posted by: Cadillac Jack on 3/8/2007 6:14:46 PM

That's absolutely right 71. And by the way are you gonna make the Rosie's run in May? Some other members from Ohio are going so you could meet up with them and caravan. It's Saturday the 26th of Memorial weekend.

Rosie's Run???Did I miss something somewhere or does my brain need to be retorqued.

Originally posted by: Dan Spring on 3/9/2007 5:34:23 PM

You missed something, 71. There is something in the clubhouse section, I think, about the run to Rosie's. It sounds like fun, but I don't think I can afford to come out from CO for it. If you can, you should.

Hey Smokin, I am a life member and It is nice because you get a nice leather jacket and your a member for life!

I met a guy named TweetiePie wearing a life member jacket at the car show in phoenix, AZ a couple of weeks ago. A hell of a nice guy and the jacket looked GREAT!

Hey Smokin I joined as a life member from the get go and have no problems, none! Love the jacket! Been a member of NSRA for some time now but they seem to lesn towards the high dollar boys any more. They are nothing like they were in the 70's. that when I seen this I feel in love with the concept.
