Re: [Chrysler300] Mopar help database

["Gloria Moon" <agmoon@xxxxxxxxx>]

This club is wonderful I agree.  We certainly could include asterisks for 
those who are willing to help as Tom says.  Databases are pretty easy to 
change that way.  But I don't think we need to do that.  Having used the 
roster for help on the road, I can tell you that we have had wonderful 
success.  Good old Thirsty has needed its share of help.  Just don't leave 
home without a phone and roster.

If you want an extra roster for the glovebox of your car so you don't leave 
home without it, let me know and I'll send you one.

300ly,
Gloria Moon

  Good idea Tom, I would believe that if we asked our club members that 
question there would be asterisk's beside each members name. I cannot think 
of a single members that would not help another member. We have a great club 
of caring loving members would are always ready to lend a hand.

  Clubs do not get better than ours. I'm available.

  I wonder if the club members that maintain the database for the Club 
Roster
  could add an asterisk (*) beside each member's name that offers to be one 
of
  the "Road Angels".

  Using the Club Roster would be a good way for a needy member to know the
  kind of car the member has (since they are included with each member
  listing) and may have specific knowledge about a problem.

  Maybe when the dues are sent out next time, there could be a place for 
each
  member to commit (or not) to being available to help out and we could use
  that to indicate on the roster who was willing.

  Just some thoughts. Great idea, Keith.

  Keith and All:
  I think your idea is great. Sign me up! Also, as others have said,
  carrying the roster is certainly helpful, but even better would be knowing
  that
  the person nearest you and your trouble has actually volunteered to help
  prior to the necessity.

  To all in 300 land,

  I'd like to run a thought out there and see what you think.

  If our dream trip comes true, Judy and I would like to take a
  once-in-a-lifetime trip next year in our very special '57 C. If things
  continue on
  course I hope to have the C's complete off-frame restoration complete
  sometime
  next spring; and we are dreaming of driving a very wide clockwise or
  counter-clockwise loop from Michigan that would take us on a two lane road
  tour
  through both the Northwest and the Southwest US. Perhaps 5000 miles or
  more. And, of course, we will want to be at the LSMFT meet in early June.

  We do have some reticence about taking on such an ambitious tour. Even
  though every part of the car will be refreshed, something is bound to go
  wrong. And it concerns me that knowledgeable assistance is not going to be
  found in every town along the way.

  I expect many others plan to travel pretty significant distances to the
  meet as well, and I know on the other hand that we have so many club 
members

  who would willingly offer to help a fellow 300 enthusiast with a problem.
  So here's what I'm wondering-

  Do you agree that it would be amazing to have a website set up - e.g.
  Moparhelp.com or something of that nature - where an online map would
  display
  the location of people willing to help all Mopar collectors with a problem
  anywhere in the US? It be would similar to finding the location of a NAPA
  store online. You could home in to detail by clicking on a location and
  find the contact information to reach anyone who had volunteered to be
  helpful
  to travelers with knowledge, parts, or wrenching.

  I envision that members of several `50s and `60s clubs would be willing to
  participate - such as our 300 clubs, the WPC club, the Imperial Owners
  club, the DeSoto club etc. Each participant could list his membership(s) 
and

  what kind of help he may be able to lend. Perhaps there could even be a
  separate listing for locating service parts that may be needed to repair 
our

  running gear.

  Well, these are my baseline thoughts, and I'd like to stir up a
  conversation on the idea of setting up such a database. I wish I could
  personally be
  of more technological help on this, but I wouldn't have a clue as to how
  to do it. I just know there are those who can, and I would hope that some
  software app already exists to format these interactive maps.

  I know I would personally feel much more comfortable while rolling a long
  way from home - just knowing I could call on the support of fellow
  enthusiasts if something went wrong. And I believe many others would feel
  the same.

  What do you think? Is this something that should be done? Would you be
  willing to be on the list of volunteers? Could you possibly help with
  setting it up?

  Your turn -----------

  Thanks,
  Keith Boonstra
