The site/club has a lot of potential and you're headed in the right direction. I'm sure it could become huge if you guys keep at it. I think you need a better logo and site design though. At first glance it gives the impression of "hi we're a tiny car club and we don't really do anything".... I know thats not the message you want to convey and by just sprucing up the site and adding content you could make the club seem huge without it really being huge (sorry if that doesn't make sense... I'm almost confusing myself). Let me know if you want any assistance with the design aspect... that's what I do best and I've got a ****load of free time on my hands now that I'm done with school. I'd love to be part of something like this.
The gear is cool... cafepress rocks, even though their prices are a little high. Their products are top notch though.

As for the vinyl, that would kick ***! I think we need to get a better logo and/or finalized motto before we start doing anything though.

I know someone who does vinyl signs, t-shirts, stuff like that. I bet I could work out some sort of hookup with him, he's a cool guy. And hey, he already does a sh!tload of car-related merchandising anyway, so if we had logos or something that we wanted to incorporate, I bet he could help with that.

WE would love a hand in this, we rushed this thing together in about 2 weeks or less. We knew people would use it and kinda wanted to hurry. You will see changes almost every day as we tweak it and make it better. Log on and see if you can do something for us. Thanks

I went ahead and picked up a T shirt ($15) and a license plate frame ($11)
Seems pretty reasonable to me.
