$50 followed by 4 to 6 months of nothing? Now there's a club I'm dying to join.

I don't find anything particularly odd about people posting negative comments in response to this thread's author asking the honest question: What is R Gruppe? If you are going to pay your money, get no corespondence and not be able to reach anyone, then perhaps that is a reasonable definition of the organization based on some people's experience.

Ted, if Cris finds exc911ence's post "inappropriate", then I question Cris' concept of value for the membership dues buck. Furthermore, if Lee has accurately represented the verbage on the web site, then I hope is was in large bold red letters. That attitude should serve as a warning to anyone remotely interested to look elsewhere. Car clubs are about the people and their interest in cars. The web site says, in so many words, "we don't want you unless you have $50 and a really cool car that WE like." I find your post defensive and arrogant.

This thread has enlightened me. I now know that R Gruppe means early 911 owning snobs. To quote Lee: "Sounds cozy".
