I have an interesting idea that I had when I was thinking about how much many of us struggle with buying quality parts and how badly I want to have a Skyline again. I know that I am not alone in that.
This is the idea:
We have over 6000 active members on GTRC. Imagine if each member just pledged $1 a month towards a central account, we would have $6000 every month. And each month, we can give that money to a fellow GTRCer for either buying a Skyline or towards mods. The trick is to get at least the 6000 active members to pledge a dollar or whatever amount each can.
There is a reason I propose this: A dollar a month is NOTHING for most of us. We lose more change than that inside our cars. But it all adds up. And this can be OUR way to actually make a concrete difference towards the passion of our fellow Skyline enthusiasts. I think it is a great idea. $1 a month is something that even a jobless guy like me can pledge.
How to select the successful recipient can be based on a popular vote in terms of adding value to GTRC or Skyline community, iTrader feedback score, the level of passion, or simply a luck of the draw with the condition that once a member wins it, she/he doesnt qualify for another prize for the next 12 months. That way this money will be circulated within our community and will benefit people who are passionate about this car, but find themselves challenged financially. I mean why not help each other out for a dollar a month?
I request the mods or site owner to kindly start this on GTRC. Ask members to pledge certain amounts just for a month at a time or for 6 months or a year, let someone who is respected in the community and is trustworthy (like Dan - GTRDad, Dave -ZTuned, Nick - gtrtt, or anyone else who is a bit experienced) manage the fund and then disburse it every month.
It is an idea that I believe is very practical, possible, valuable and would strengthen our brotherhood.
If people agree with me, and the officials dont have a problem with it, I seek like-minded people to join me in it. Let's do it. Lets really make a BIG difference to our fellow members.
