Ok I looked over the benefits and these are my thoughts on those.
BENEFITS
Enhanced enjoyment of the H2- Everyone already does this on the forums around the web. Dealer outings are ease to go on all you have to do is talk to your dealer.
H2 Gear and Accessories Discounts
- What about other Hummer variants. The H3, H1 the Humvee. Esentially this club is alienating the rest of the product line just because of the name allown.
Increased Knowledge of the H2
- Isn't that what the forums are for.
Part of an exclusive Family - we hope that within each chapter strong, lasting friendships will be developed, you all already have one thing in common, the love for the H2
- what about the love of the Hummer Brand
Newsletters - as we get more and more established, we will begin sending out a quarterly newsletter with updates on the H2, a complete schedule of events, as well as specials on H2 Gear and Accessories (buying power through numbers)
- Again this bring no value to the other variants of the Hummer Brand. And how much longer will it take to get established will it take to get a newsletter together.
H2 Club Merchandise - with your membership, we will have a welcome gift that will be sent to you; included will be official H2 Club Merchandise:
H2 Club Ashworth Golf Shirt
-Ok that is of some value
H2 Club Baseball Cap
- Maybe
H2 Club "Member" Decal- it is a sticker
H2 Club Membership Card- not a big deal
H2 Club "Survivor Card" - uses: can opener, knife edge, can cover remover, cap opener, three position wrench, magnifier, mini screw driver, compass and ruler
Just to remind everyone I am not down playing this in anyway but couldn't this club be easily done at no charge to its members. Are the contact people in charge in the various chapter compensated in anyway. If they are sign me up but I just don't see the value. What about factory support for events. What if you hold an off-road event and break a tie rod or worse the truck is in operable and there are not enough spares. What is going to happen then. Again I am not knocking just providing something to think about.
