Ok guys,

Don't laugh. I know you probably have a picture in your head of Chris T. and Chad standing around in Bikinis with a car wash sign. But, hear me out.

The club is really coming together. We've got a lot of people showing interest in joining up, we just hosted the largest all Mazda (and one Infiniti) cruise Oahu has seen, and things like T-shirts and vinyls now seem like child's play. My point is the ball is rolling and I really want to keep the momentum going.

The one thorn in my side is we still have no place to call home online. Not, that I don't appreciate the fact that the Mazda Forums agreed to host us. But, we still don't have a website and a place to host the sweet vids. that some of our members have made and the one's that Chris will make in the future. I've already purchased the URL www.m_spec.com. But, my efforts at web page construction were laughable to say the least.

So, me thinks it is time to get professional help. Someone to help build the webpage and a place to host it with enough storage space for vids. Unfortunately, such services cost money. Money we don't have. I refuse to have the club start charging dues. So, this means we need to be creative.

So, I started thinking of something we could do to make money for the club that would also involve cars and be something that we would enjoy doing. That's when the bikini car wash came to mind. What two things do car guys love the most? Well, obviously cars and pretty young women in bikinis. Anyone who's been to a car show could tell you that.

My suggestion is we set up a bikini car wash on some upcoming saturday. Then we promote like crazy. Put out the word on every car forum we can that local car guys frequent, word of mouth, hell tag nice cars with flyers for all I care. What do you guys think?

Problem is we need a couple of things beyond just soap, water, buckets, and rags. Namely, we need girls. Girls that a paying customer would actually want to see in less than everyday clothing. That's where all of you club pimps come in. The hardest part will be finding pretty young things that will actually find the idea of being objectified and are comfortable enough to prance around in a skimpy bathing suit while they wash cars for little to no profit. It won't be easy but I have faith in the charm of my fellow club members to think it won't be an impossibility. Hell, I can probably get us one girl with nice assets to participate. (No it won't be my wife. I wouldn't even survive the wrath that would ensue my asking her.)

The other biggie is a place to hold it. We'd need a facility with a large enough parking lot to capacitate a decent amount of cars and some source of water. It would obviously need to be private property so that our friends in blue can't roll in and demand that we leave. That said we would obviously need the approval of the owner of the facility.

Assuming that we could over come all of the forementioned hurdles I think this would be a damn good time and a hell of a money maker for the club. On top of the car wash itself we could make money selling soda and dogs off the grill and such. Maybe I'm totally off base here, but I think there would be a lot of intrest in a day where you could roll to some place, hang out with other car guys, eat some food, get your car washed by girls in bikinis all the while not be hassled by the police.

Ok, go ahead and deystroy my pipe deams with all of the realities that make this a near impossibility. lol. Or better yet, tell me what a great idea you think it would be and how much you can't wait to make it a reality.
 
As another mazda guy who started an online community for our club MOCC you can get a pretty decent server for around $90 a year, use phpbb since it is free, and for us the website was paid off in donations within about 1.5 months.

from day 1 before we even had a name we knew we did not want dues, we wanted a club free for everyone. Cali is layed back, and im sure hawaii is more so ;) but money comes in when you need it, and we get by from the generosity of our members.

Awesome, thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely get in contact with you once we determine if we can afford to put a server together. I'm sure just like you we could probably get a lot by donations too. But, ya gotta admit a bikini car wash would be fun. :D
 
Girls!!!!!! wooohooooo!! Nah I always see fundraiser car washes by shell and mcdonalds in waipio. I dunno who you have to contact but thats an idea.
 
oh man, if this actually works out, i think i might have to get my car washed as well. Or probably just loiter on the lot when they're washing cars and look at..........CARS! i meant to say cars, not the other thing you all were thinking. (boobs)

Girls Gone Wild!!! lol. J/P Thanks for the suggestions. The problem with finding a host is gonna be when they ask what we're raising money for and we say "We'll.... us." lol. Not excatly, not for profit.

Remember, all of us members will be working in one way or another that day. Translation, you will be loitering around all day looking at "cars" and no one can call you a perv. We can pull this off. Must find girls!
 
the hosting company i use is www.lunarpages.com and their prices are quite reasonable with good customer service, and has been adequate for our needs. we have reached over 450 members registered on the forum, with an image database, and the 800 megs with 40 gigs of transfer is nowhere near being filled. the site always loads fast and has almost no downtime.

Do you host much in the way of vids? If so how are your download times there or are you capable streaming?

speed hawaii big island just had a model car wash and they said they got slammed with cars. i wonder why? :)
Exactly. Now we just need to find models. Hmmm...
 
Bump for support. Does anyone in the club other than Allen think this is worth trying?
 
Well, models are by nature hot. However, I'm doubting we'll pull too much in the way of models. But, I'm sure we can find a few attractive girls who want to help out. Mike, call the pimp. lol.
 
lol. Well, I've got one girl confirmed. I'm gonna talk to a couple of her friends at my boy's bachelor party this Friday at what used to be the Penthouse. No, they don't work there. So, it's a start. Patricia said, it sounds like fun. I'll probably have to put her husband on security detail to make sure he's cool with it though.

ill do what i can!
did you check out thier website?
Yup, check your PM. I tend to agree with you. Might be a little more big time than we are ready for and we would end up getting squeezed out of what we're actually doing this for. I firmly believe the members of this club are more than capable of making this event a huge success. Promote, promote, promote then all we need are the girls and good weather. :D

Thanks Niko
