CAR CLUB NEWS UPDATE: As you all see in the included quote it doesn't look good for the Challenger Car Club.[sm=smiley19.gif]There are several reasons, in my opinion which includes myself, it seems most of us once we get our cars the time we might spend showing interest in , making suggestions, helping out with the set up and so forth goes towards injoying your new Challenger and I totally understand that. Secondly the 2 guys that offered to help set up a web page or web site are busy business men and that makes the car club a low priority. They have not refused to continue with it but the contact with them has been minimal. finally with only 14 members from here and only one of those has asked me if anything is happening I think the interest from others has been transferred to thier newly arriving Challengers,and that includes me and mine.
However I am still seriously interested in doing something. Being retired I have the time needed to help with the large amount of details and then monitoring needed . What I and probably some of you didn't realize was how many things are involved in setting something like this up especially a nation wide club.
At this time the club is kind of in limbo but there is a chance with some help from Mopar2ya from this forum that it may get restarted if there seems to be enough interest. What I mean by that is a minimum of 25 seriously interested members who would be able to help at the very beginning with the set up and start up and Mopar2ya will help with the web site/web page set up and computer stuff. I would help largely with the monitoring and detail work with the 25 members helping with research items , Ideas, suggestions and so forth.
So with all the new people getting their Challenger's and those that already have theirs we should be able to see this amount of interest. Please don't get me wrong, I realize most of us are buzy with work and day to day living but with enough interest and members and if the want and desire is there to come together and form this club it can be done.
Finally if I see and hear serious interest with offers of help to the amount I've just said then I will talk with Mopar2ya and the other forum members that were originally helping and get it restarted..........If I don't really see all that much serious interest then we can consider it a good idea but a little too much to get off the ground and I will wish you all the very best of luck, God bless you and yours, and god speed !
Can any or all of you get up enough PASSION to be involved in a car club? Do you truly want a car club? Would all of you truly give up or donate like maybe just 1 hour a week or maybe 4 or 6 hours on a Sat or Sun to help with a car show or a cruise night? If so show your passion and commitment by posting, PM'ing me or E-mail me at
wboyd18993@aol.com and do it soon OK !!!
So EVERYONE INTERESTED GIVE ME SOME BIG SERIOUS FEED BACK FOR THE " CMMC " IE " CHALLENGER MOPAR MUSCLE CARS" club.
Thanks for reading and listening and I hope to see that interest, with all due respect to all of you,

Brucer41, sorry to say at this point there doesn't seem to be enough people interested in a club. In talking with 2 forum members who offered their help and also a web guy about the amount of money needed to get started with just a basic web site more interest than the 14 people we have would be needed to make it worth while . If I see more people interested as the 2009's start getting delivered we may take another look at it. I'm a little bumbed myself as I was excited in hopes of getting together with other Challenger owners for any kind of activities as we all had something in common and most are passionate about Mopars and cars in general. Time will tell and we shall see in the not to distant future. Fat Cat [sm=gears.gif]
