Proud to be a hamb alliance member!

Got my plaque today and its on the car thought I'd show you all how nice it looks. You guys that don't have one should join---lotza discounts on good stuff! Plus look how much nicer your car would look !

 

That looks good, the first thing I did was sign up and then get my alliance membership for later when the old car comes along.

 

Yeah, but then guys come up to you at the get-togethers...look at the plaque and call you by your handle, as if you were best friends. I did have a feller see the nametag and start to berate me for something I'd said in here. How do people carry that **** around. He got kind of belligerent, so I showed him my NRA card and my CCW....he wandered over to admire somebody's girlfriend, glancing back from time to time....

It don't matter what you have on your car ,if its in public there will ALWAYS be a couple ***holes around . When they start to annoy me I either tell them I have to go piss,or something like that to get away from them. If I would tell them what I really think I'm afraid that when I'm not around they might try to screw around with something on the car.

 

Well I took my alliance tag off the firewall----BECAUSE--a freind of mine saw a guy looking at it real close and writing something on a piece of paper,could of been another HAMBER or what I think is he is going to use my signiture to get discounts I bought tires from coker at goodguys columbus and all I had to do to get the discount is tell them my Hamb Alliance signiture so I guess anyone that knows it could do the same!

 

mines covering a hole where the heater hose was , thats not to say I'm not happy.. I just used it for something other than for looks

 

Been a member for a couple of years. Discounts from vendors have more than equaled my "dues." I like the idea of paying my way with other people's money!

 

Glad to know you have that covered Ryan,I wasn't aware of that feature---way to go!

did i just loose this thread?

 

Yup, time for me to renew mine

 

I signed up just to support the site. This is something that gives and gives and gives. Knowlege is the best thing about this site and you won't find a broader base anywhere. I hang out on the Ford FE forum too, its another priceless source of knowlege. You can buy parts, but experience is hard to come by these days.

 

Used my membership discount with Brookville Roadster- Great experience and all the info on the H.A.M.B. site is well worth the dues.

 

I did a search for firewall tags and this is what came up. Not to threadjack, but anyone put their Alliance tag in a spot other then their firewall? I'm about to mount mine up in the proper spot, but was looking for some idears.

Thanks,

Screws

PS- proud (obviously) to support something that has supported me and saved me a bunch of h***le and $$ in the short time I've been a member.

 

How long does it usually take to get a HAMB badge after joining? I thought I read 5 days to process?

 

it took 5 days to get here to Maryland. Pretty quick!

 

I don't think enough HAMB members realize the amount of time and effort Ryan puts into this site. I joined in March of 2008 after McKee told me about how good this site really was. I have spent many hours looking over the various threads. I have increased my knowledge of the traditional Hot Rod & Custom Car scene. I've even been able to acquire some hard to find items for my 51 Mercury Coupe build from fellow HAMBers. I enjoy reading Ryan's articles. There is not a better site on the Internet than this one.

The one thing we need to remember is, a site like this requires a lot of time and effort to maintain. Most importantly it requires a lot of money to maintain this level of excellence. It's amazing the number of people who join a site for free and enjoy using the resources, but forget someone has to cover the expenses of providing everyone with those resources. While economic times might be a little tough right now, I think it's only fitting, that as a tribute to the man who had the vision to create such a great site, we should all dip into our pockets and purchase an Alliance Membership. I'm pretty certain everyone has an extra $50 a year they could spare to help Ryan maintain this awesome site! I know for certain I would buy an Alliance Membership even if no discounts were offered through other vendors, in the knowledge I was contributing to the survival and continued success of this very valuable resource! Come on guys, let's all do our parts! Ryan most certainly has done his!!

 

i support the hamb and show my tag off, who care what people think , the hamb is the best all around, i can go on on. you guy know,
