To add to what rhacker382 already posted.........

The "old" club (XFi) was nothing more than a sticker vendor and owners registry for the most part. The "new" club (CICCI) is much more of an actual club, with it's own space on the internet for all of us to convene, as well as many other perks.

One topic that I haven't seen anyone address, surprisingly, is that by being a non-profit, incorporated organization gives us a certain amount of "leverage" over the aftermarket. With XFi not being officially "recognized", we had very little pull with aftermarket vendors. CICCI is official and incorporated just like the Corvette club, this gives a bargaining chip when dealing with the makers of aftermarket goods. These vendors can look us up and see that we are a serious group, and not just a few guys with stickers that say we are a "club".

Again, not to take anything away from Redcross and XFi, (I was a member of that group too)..........but we are much more organized and recognizable as CICCI and under the articles of incorporation.
