And Crew Master/Club Guidelines

It was September 20, 2007, when the 6 founding members came together to form what is now referred to as "Corvette Renegades". The group agreed that the official date the club would be launched January 1, 2008. The original 6 were seeking to form a club where the emphasis was on fun for all members. It was quickly decided that the mantra of the club would be "If it ain't fun, don't do it".

Meeting at the Village Idiot in Five Points, where else, the founding members came up with what the new club would be about and set down the guidelines that would guide the club in the future. Their first decision was it would be a club open to Corvette owners only. We would not have an offical board of directors, but crew leaders. A Captain (Dave), Lieutenant (Bill), Quartermaster (Barbara), Navigator (Jim), Warrant Office (Amy), and Purser (Sherri).

A club name was decided on, Corvette Renegades, and from there on, the club started to grow. The main theme of having fun was the main purpose of the club and will be the main focus of this club from here on.

Although there isn't a true "board" to lead the club, there are Crew Masters, the original founding members. The Lieutenant, or XO, was designated as the one person who would serve as a liaison between the crew and the crew masters. The Lieutenant would be responsible to 'take out' the Captain, or mutiny, if needed.

To ensure that Corvette Renegades remains the club it was intended to be, the original six crew masters, or those available at the time, with a majority vote, reserve the right to take over the running of the club at their discretion if it appears that it is headed in a direction other than the original intent.  At the time such a move is anticipated the club will be notified of the plan to "reestablish to original" the Crew Masters.

The Crew Masters would serve for as long as they wished and when the time came that they no longer wished to lead the crew, the Crew Masters would come together to decide who would like to take over as Capt'n of the crew or other crew masters positions by general election or invitation by the sitting Crew Masters. Whoever leads the crew, the main emphasis of the Crew Masters must be, to have fun!

Crew Master Functions:

• Captain - Guides the crew on the journey and keeps it fun! Conducts meetings.
  
• Lieutenant (XO) - There to support and backup the Captain, and take him out by mutiny if crew requests.
  
• Quartermaster - Logs the activities of the crew and maintains the inventory of the bounty.
  
• Navigator - Sets the direction of voyages and works with crew to ensure they know what's coming up on future excursions.
  
• Chief Warrant Officer - Works to track how many crew are aboard and keeps manifest of all crew information.
  
• Purser - Tracks and counts the booty on board.

Inspiring the next generation of Corvette owners and enthusiasts, Corvette Renegades members always enjoy allowing the younger generation to experience the thrill of sitting in a Corvette, getting behind the wheel and looking out over that beautiful long engine hood that only Corvette can offer. Like many of us, we hope this experience is something they will always remember and will be the driving force behind them one day wanting to own one for themselves.

1. Thou shalt not fail to wave to a fellow Corvette owner.
2. Thou shalt not pass a fellow Corvette owner in distress without offering aid.
3. Thou shalt not feed thy Corvette budget grade fuel.
4. Thou shalt treat thy Vette with respect; great power, great responsibility.
5. Thou shalt keep thy Corvette clean and waxed at all times, yet thou shalt not bring thy Corvette to an automatic car wash.
6. Thou shalt park thy Corvette in such a manner as to protect her tender fenders.
7. Thou shalt blow out carbon with a highspeed run as required.
8. Thou shalt not cruise on an unpaved road.
9. Neither friend, nor foe, nor even thy spouse may drive thy Corvette without first showing proper reverence.
10. Each Vette is an individual work of art; judge not lest ye might be judged.

Just for fun, because we like fun, and if it's fun, do it, we wanted to feature some Corvette videos that we've seen around the web. We hope you'll take some time and enjoy some of these videos. Some old, some new, but all just for fun.
