I'll say this...
It may not be much of a "club" as it is, but it is all we've really got. It's the only XF club I know of and for a lousy $10, it's nice to belong to it regardless of the benefits (or lack of) right now.
Ben, I'm not criticizing you, but isn't your rationale the real problem? And too many others see it the way you do. Come on, it's only 10 bucks and you get a membership card too.
The real problem is that 150 members does not make for much of a club in Chrysler's eyes. If more people joined just for the sake of being a small part of the only XF club around and looked past what the club is now, then maybe XFI would have a better chance of being sanctioned and then being able to live up to your expectations of what this club could, or should be.
Again, it's only 10 bucks and every new member added gives us more leverage.
