Stage 2: Race
Stage 3: Show
* If people wanted they can join Transport as a spectator and consider that the general group. Check the Transport website forum for member details.
I've been to a few G35driver meets and would be interested in the general group. I don't see a problem with SCGOA. The decal design is already done. Eddie may still have stickers. People who want it on thier license plate frame can go to the mall.

Some of the complaints we heard (cleaned up/and or refined for posting) were:
1) boring
2) too "mature"
3) doesn't reflect the site's demographic
4) mine is better
Your biggest hurdle is going to be picking a name. that's it.
My suggestion, look through G-squads, florida, Bay area and such and see what they went thru and what/why they opted not choose certain names. When you have a short list, say 3-5, create a poll and post it out.
50% of the people repsonding will never join and will only give you grief. On the other hand, you might start something big. Just be prepared for heartache and headaches.
Good luck..I am sure Eddie will "hand over" SCGOA if you want to run with that name too. You've got a few of us that will have to change stickers though
Cheers, ted

My thoughts on it are that we start our own group, just as G35 owners for now. Establish our group and test our longevity so that we can show that we can be serious about having a group. Then we can see where that takes us.

Chosen... you'll probably get a few of the Transport members interested in joining. Remember that although Transport has a majority of G's (we've finally started getted some non-G's to help round out the team), it was never intended as a "G" only group and it is a race/show team... not just an enthusiast club.
So of course, the G's would probably wanna be a part of a formal extension of what the forum already has going. What's your list looking like so far and has a name been decided yet?
Cheers, Ted

I think right about now would be a good time to start a new thread with name options...just a thought.
Edit: I mean thread with a Poll enabled.

Here's a list of the names people have mentioned:
SoCal G-Club
SoCal G-Crew
SoCal G-Group
Southern California G Owners Association (SCGOA) (I guess we can try to revive this club if people like the name)
SoCal G-Force
SoCal G-Squad (We'll have to get permission from G-Squad)
SoCal Gs (I agree that it would be weird w/out the SoCal infront so this might not work)
Feel free to add any other good ideas. This is just a compilation so we can get a poll thread started soon.
