One of the biggest benefits is that its run by a Board of Directors, not a single person, and all the members have a vote in how the site is run, managed and maintained. Then there is the Club discounts from the Sponsors, like Adam's Polishes, Group buys on Crossfire items, The Club Store, with a lot of nice Crossfire stuff, etc. They also maintain contact with Chrysler, Karmann, Eric Stoddard; the designer of the Crossfire, and help to support GTG's, Events and Crossfire Car Shows throughout the summer. On top of that its the atmosphere, the people, and the camaraderie that we all have for this little Car.

You can send me a pm if you want more info. I'd be glad to talk about it more
