Nor was I. That was supposed to be more of a motivational jab to get you to commit to building your Sequoia into something that nobody else has tried yet. It was in NO way meant to be inflamatory.
We absolutely are open to suggestions good, bad or indifferent, from our members. If you want my true opinion of your suggestion, I'll give it to ya. As an officer of Copper State Cruisers I feel it is my job to actively recruit not new members to the club, but new people into our hobby. I can't recall ever asking a person to join our club (I may be wrong on that one and I'm sure I'll get called to the table for it), but instead come join us at a few Cruise nights, come out for some trail runs. Then make a decision as to whether or not they want to be a member. A local Jeep owner came out to a cruise night and tried to join. I turned him down because he doesn't own a Toyota, but at the same time I invited him to come out with us on any run he wanted. He has.
My opinion is similar to Kevin's in that it feels gimicky, but hell what do I know. I started a Toyota Club so I could get a cool T-shirt and some stickers.
Back to the Sequoia... BUILD IT, because I can't.
